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.
