Appendix A Cisco Security Agent Installation and Overview

Installing the Linux Agent

Step 2 Untar the file.

$ cd /tmp $ tar xvf

CSA-Server_V5.2.0.218-lin-setup-1a969c667ddb0a2d2a8da3e7959 a30b2.tar

Step 3 cd to CSCOcsa directory where the rpm package is located.

$ cd /tmp/CSCOcsa

Step 4 Run script install_rpm.sh as root.

# sh ./install_rpm.sh

The package will be installed to /opt/CSCOcsa, with some files being put into directories such as /lib/modules/CSCOcsa, /lib/csa, /etc/init.d and

/etc/rc?.d.

Note CSAagent rpm packages are not relocatable.

Caution If a system is not rebooted following the agent installation, the following functionality is not immediately available: Buffer overflow protection is only enforced for new processes, network access control rules only apply to new socket connections, file access control rules only apply to newly opened files, and data access control rules are not applied until the web server service is restarted. (This functionality becomes available the next time the system is rebooted.)

Note Linux Agent UI: For gnome desktop environments, the install script will only modify the default session config file for launching the agent UI automatically every time a user starts a gnome desktop session. But if a user already has their own session file ( ~/.gnome2/session ), the default session file (/usr/share/gnome/default.session) will not be effective. Therefore, the agent UI will not automatically start when the user logs in. In such a case, the user must add the agent UI (/opt/CSCOcsa/bin/ciscosecui) manually (using "gnome-session-properties" utility) to make the agent UI auto-start.
