Prerequisites for Policy Server Installation - Version 12.52 SP1

[Gopi ReddyIrala]

Hi All,

 

I am in the process of installing ca siteminder policy server version 12.52 SP1 in one of our development environments, I understand we have new policy server versions available but I need to install 12.52 SP1 for few reasons. The OS version I am going to install policy server is Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.9

 

I have below queries with regard to the prerequisites for installing the policy server

 

1. I remember we used to install many unix / linux libraries before installing the policy server but now I just see only one library in CA documentation

 

          Install Required KornShell Package (ksh-20100621-16.el6.x86_64.rpm)

 

Can you please suggest if the above package is sufficient to install 12.52 SP1 policy server ?

 

2. Increase Entropy : One of the options I see in CA documentation to increase entropy is below

 

   Configure a symbolic link between /dev/urandom and /dev/random. Execute the following commands:

      mv /dev/random /dev/random.org
      ln -s /dev/urandom /dev/random

 

   Can you please suggest if I can go with this option to increase entropy.

 

Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you.

You still need the other 32bit libs.  From 12.6 onwards, all you need is ksh since that release is 64bit.  For the entropy you are better off configuring the rngd daemon.
