Configuring CTE for AIX with CipherTrust Manager

This section describes how to install and configure CTE on AIX systems that you plan to register with a CipherTrust Manager.

The installation and configuration process when you are using CTE with a CipherTrust Manager consists of three basic steps:

1. Gather the information needed for the install and set up your network as described in Installation Prerequisites.

2. Install CTE on the protected host as described in Interactive Installation on AIX or Silent Installation on AIX.

3. Register the protected host with CipherTrust Manager and make sure that they can communicate with each other. Registration can be done as part of the initial installation or at any point after the CTE Agent has been installed.

4. You can use External Certificates for communication between CTE and CM. Install the external certificate before registering CipherTrust Transparent Encryption with CipherTrust Manager.
