Using a Native Package Installer

If you want to manually install a software package using a native installation program instead of the Server Suite installation script, you can follow the instructions in the Upgrade and Compatibility Guide for the most common native package installers, such as the Red Hat or Debian package manager. You should note that these native packages are signed with a GNU Privacy Guard (GPG) key. You need to import the key to verify the package authenticity before installing the package. You can download the RPM-GPG-KEY-centrify file from the Delinea Download Center.

Alternatively, you can use any other installation program you have available for the local operating environment. For example, if you use another program such as SMIT, YAST, APT, SUSE, or YUM to install and manage software packages, you can use that program to install Server Suite software packages.

Perform the following steps to install the Server Suite Agent using a native installation program that does not require a connection to a package repository. To use a native installation program that requires a repository connection (such as yum, SUSE or APT), see Enabling package repositories.

To install the agent using a native installation program

  1. Log on as or switch to the root user.

  2. If you are installing from a CD and the CD drive is not mounted automatically, use the appropriate command for the local computer's operating environment to mount the cdrom device.

  3. Copy the appropriate package for the local computer's operating environment to a local directory.

    For example, if installing from the CD and the operating environment is Solaris 10 SPARC:

    cp /cdrom/cdrom0/Unix/centrifydc-release-sol10-sparc-local.tgz.

  4. If the software package is a compressed file, unzip and extract the contents. For example, on Solaris:

    gunzip -d centrifydc-release-sol10-local.tgztar -xf centrifydc-release-sol10-sparc-local.tar

  5. Run the appropriate command for installing the package based on the local computer's operating environment. For example, on Solaris:

    pkgadd -d CentrifyDC-a admin

    If you are not sure which command to use for the local operating environment, see the documentation associated with the package installer you are using.
