Install the
CA API Gateway
 Policy Manager on a multi-user or a single-user Linux machine.
Prerequisites:
Ensure the following is set for the Policy Manager to run properly:
  • Correct version of the JRE or JDK has been installed (see Software Gateway Specifications).
  • $JAVA_HOME is set to use the correct Java version.
    Starting with Version 9.4 CR2 of the Gateway Policy Manager, JRE 8 is included in the Policy Manager installation package (e.g., Manager-9.3.00.tar.gz) for Linux Operating Systems. You will not be required to install JRE or check Java versions manually.
Common Installation - Multiple Users on a Single Machine
The following instructions assume a root user common installation on a modern Linux system. Some of the command options may vary on Solaris, AIX, and FreeBSD.
To install the Policy Manager for all users on a multi-user machine:
  1. Log in as the
    root
     user.
  2. Open the "Installer" DVD ISO image.
    Tip:
     If you are using a disc and automatic mounting is not enabled, type
    mount -t auto /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
     to mount the disc contents. (These examples assume the directory "/mnt/cdrom" is available and is empty. You may use another directory.)
  3. Locate the
    Manager-<version>.tar.gz
     file in the /mnt/cdrom directory. Uncompress and unpack the tarball into a new local install directory with the following commands:
    # mkdir /usr/local/securespan
    # cd /usr/local/securespan/
    # tar -xzvf /mnt/cdrom/Manager-
    <version>
    .tar.gz
    # cd ~
    The last command returns you to the default directory. It is recommended that you create and unpack the installation files into the "/usr/local/securespan/" directory. If you choose to use a different directory, then replace the "/usr/local/securespan" path with your chosen directory path in the command line. If you choose to create a different directory, then do so before using the command line. Unpacking the tarball signifies your acceptance of the terms and conditions in the License Agreement.
  4. The installation files appear in the target directory. Start the Policy Manager with the following command:
    # /usr/local/securespan/Manager-
    <version>
    /Manager.sh
  5. Unmount the disc:
    # umount /mnt/cdrom
    You may now eject and remove the disc.
Single User Installation - Single User on a Single Machine
To install the Policy Manager on a single machine with single user access rights, perform steps 1 through 5 above, with the following exceptions:
  • In step 1, log in with your personal user name and password
  • In step 3, unpack and uncompress the installation CD files into the "$HOME/securespan" installation directory by typing the following commands:
    # mkdir $HOME/securespan
    # cd $HOME/securespan
    # tar -xzvf /mnt/cdrom/Manager-
    <version>
    .tar.gz
    # cd ~
  • In step 4, run the Policy Manager with this command:
    # $HOME/securespan/Manager-
    <version>
    /Manager.sh
