IBM Security Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-On, Version 8.2

Installing the AccessAgent (MSI package)

For large-scale deployments, use the MSI package to install the AccessAgent on several computers simultaneously.

Before you begin

Ensure that you have administrator privileges.
For single sign-on support in the Mozilla Firefox browser, you must always install Mozilla Firefox first before running the AccessAgent installer. If AccessAgent is installed on a computer without Mozilla Firefox, you cannot experience single sign-on in Mozilla Firefox if the browser is installed later.

About this task

When you use the MSI package to install AccessAgent, the English language is used by default in the installation program and in the AccessAgent interface. To deploy AccessAgent in a different language, you can apply a language transform.

To predefine the IMS Server name, you can specify the IMS Server in the SetupHlp.ini file. See Preparing an installation package to install on multiple PCs.

Procedure

Double-click ISAM ESSO AccessAgent.msi from the installation package. You are prompted to confirm whether to run the file.
Click Run. The IBM® Security Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-On AccessAgent installation program wizard starts.
Click Next.
Select I accept the terms in the license agreement.
Click Next. The installation directory displays. By default, AccessAgent is installed in C:\Program Files\IBM\ISAM ESSO\AA.
Note: To select a different location, click Browse and select another folder.
Click Next. AccessAgent is configured successfully.
Click Finish. You are prompted to restart the computer.
Click Yes to restart the computer. You must restart the computer before you can sign up for a single sign-on account or log on to the Wallet.
For Microsoft Windows Vista computers, do one of the following steps:
1. On Active Directory servers, if the Interactive logon: Do not require Ctrl+Alt+Delete security option is not enabled, you must enable it. AccessAgent automatically attempts to enable this security option during the installation unless a group policy permission denies the change from being applied.
2. If Interactive logon: Do not require Ctrl+Alt+Delete is not enabled, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to open the AccessAgent logon screen.

Results

You installed AccessAgent successfully.

What to do next

After the computer restarts and when the logon screen is displayed, verify that you can sign in with a valid user account successfully on the IMS Server. You can also verify the files and registry entries to ensure that the installation is successful.
