Agent installation in Linux server

[Jagan GN]

Hi Team,

 

 

CA Harvest agent installation in Linux servers., we have a requirement where users need to access the agent by internal account and AD account., as we have installed agent with LDAP., is it possible to install the internal option with different path and port number., will that work ?

Regards,

Jagan .

Hello Jagan,

 

Yes, this can be easily done.  Here's how:

 

Create a new folder for your internally authenticated agent.  Inside this folder create a log folder and place a copy of your HAgent.arg file.

 

Configure the new HAgent.arg file for internal authentication.

 

As the root user, start the agntd process again, adding the parameter "-homedir=<new agent folder>"

 

For example,

 

# In my $CA_SCM_HOME folder I created a new folder called "internal_agent", and a log folder inside

cd $CA_SCM_HOME

mkdir internal_agent

mkdir internal_agent/log

 

# Copied HAgent.arg to the new folder

cp HAgent.arg internal_agent

 

# Edited the new HAgent.arg file to provide a new port number and configure for internal authentication

vi internal_agent/HAgent.arg

cat internal_agent/HAgent.arg

// HAgent args for CA Harvest Software Change Manager v13
-port=7000
-authmode=internal
-fipsmode=0

 

# As the root user, start the agntd process specifying the new homedir

su

./agntd -homedir=/opt/CA/scm/internal_agent

 

As long as the two agntd processes are listening on different port numbers, this will work.  Give it a try and let me know if you have any questions or problems.

 

Thanks
