4.2 Remote Installation Using CG AM

You can use CG AM only for hosts where you want to enable the agent for Change Guardian. If you do not plan to enable the agent for Change Guardian, you can use only UAM to manage the agent deployment and configuration.

To install Security Agent for UNIX using Agent Manager:

  1. Log in to Change Guardian Main as an user in administrator role.

  2. From Change Guardian Main, click Integration > Agent Manager.

  3. Navigate to Asset Groups > All Assets > Manage Assets > Add.

  4. From the assets list, select the machines where you want to deploy the agent. If you select multiple machines, use the same credentials.

  5. Click Manage Installation > Install Agents.

  6. Provide the user name and password of the agent and click Next.

  7. Perform the following steps:

    1. For the agent version, select Security Agent for UNIX Agent Version, where Agent Version is the version of the agent you want to deploy.

    2. For the agent configuration, you can choose the default configuration. If you want to modify the default configuration, use the Edit option to customize the default configuration.

      Otherwise, if required, you can add a new configuration using the Add option.

      NOTE:When you are installing Security Agent for UNIX for Change Guardian from CG AM, the IP address of the Change Guardian server is automatically populated in the configuration window. If you replace the Change Guardian server in future, the new Change Guardian server must use the same IP address to maintain connection with all the agents deployed.

    3. Click Start Installation

  8. (Conditional) To manage these hosts in UAM, manually add these hosts in UAM as follows:

    1. Ensure that UAM is upgraded to 7.5.1 version.

    2. Change Guardian 5.0 and later include updated certificates for enhanced security.You must replace the UAM certificate with Change Guardian certificate in the following cases:

      1. You have done a new installation of Change Guardian 5.0 and later

      2. You have upgraded to Change Guardian 5.0 and later and switched security profile as mentioned in the section Switching Security Profile.

      For more information about replacing certificates, see Section 3.0, Replacing the UAM Certificates.

    3. Add hosts manually in UAM. For more information, see To add a host in UAM, where the Agent is already installed.
