4 Setup

If the installation requirements in the previous section have been met, setup should take 20 minutes or less to get a basic WANdisco Security Agent configured.

1. To begin the setup process run:

   Security_Agent_root/bin/setup [port]
   

   If no port parameter is specified the default port 6444 will be used. This port is used for web administration.

   Once the server has started it will log a message to point a web browser to http://server:port/. Please note that server should be replaced with the IP address or machine name that the WANdisco Security Agent is being installed to.

6. This page allows you to configure the Security Agent
   1. Display Name - a friendly name for the Security Agent
   2. MAC Address - the MAC address of the machine. This can be acquired by running ifconfig. If it is not found in the path it may be in the /sbin or /usr/sbin directory.
   3. Host - the host name or ip address of the SCM server
   4. Port - the port which will be used as the proxy port for CVS (typically 2401). This is the port which CVS clients will connect to
   5. CVS Port - the port where CVS is actually running (typically 2402). This is the port which the Security Agent will send client requests after their security access has been verified.
   6. CVS Type - CVS or CVSNT. Using CVSNT is not recommended because CVSNT itself is unstable and can be verified by looking at the CVSNT forums.
