Basic steps

Begin with a basic installation of Management and Security Server. Using the automated installer is the simplest way to get up and running on Linux, UNIX, or Windows.

After the Administrative Server is installed and configured, you can start creating secure host sessions. Then, you can install and configure other components and add-on products.

A basic automated installation requires three steps:

  1. Run the automated installer.

  2. Enter configuration information.

  3. Start services.

A basic automated installation assumes:

  • The operating system is Linux, Solaris SPARC64, or Windows.

  • A default servlet runner is installed.

  • All components will be installed on the same machine.

    For initial testing, you can install on a workstation; however, we recommend installing on a server operating system for production.

  • The Prerequisite actions have been performed.
