Installation and Registration Options
CTE provides the following installation and registration options. The options you choose determine the information you need to supply during the actual install procedure.
Installation Method Options
There are two methods for installing CTE on AIX platforms:
-
Typical: Most common and recommended type of installation. Use this method for installing the CTE Agent on one host at a time. See Interactive Installation on AIX.
-
Silent: Create pre-packaged installations by providing information and answers to a set of installation questions. Use silent installations when installing on a large number of hosts. See Silent Installation on AIX.
Hardware Association (Cloning Prevention) Option
CTE’s hardware association feature associates the installation of CTE with the machine’s hardware. When enabled, hardware association prohibits cloned or copied versions of CTE from contacting the key manager and acquiring cryptographic keys. Hardware association works on both virtual machines and hardware clients.
You can enable hardware association during CTE registration process. You can disable hardware association by re-running the registration program.
