Unix installation and join

Quick start > Unix installation and join

Note: For more details on installing and joining the Safeguard Authentication Services client, please see the Safeguard Authentication Services Administration Guide. Commands prefixed with $ must be run by the SAP instance owner account. Commands prefixed with # must be run by root.

To install the Safeguard Authentication Services client and join the Unix system to Active Directory

Mount the product media or extract the product archive, and change directory to the base directory. For example:
```
# mount /mnt/cdrom; cd /mnt/cdrom
```
Run the preflight program to check for proper connectivity and patch requirements. If failures are reported, see the Safeguard Authentication Services Administration Guide for requirements and troubleshooting instructions.
```
# ./preflight example.com
```
Replace example.com with your Active Directory domain name.
Install the Safeguard Authentication Services client.
```
# ./install.sh vasclnt
```
Join the system to Active Directory.
```
# /opt/quest/bin/vastool -u Administrator join --skip-config example.com
```
Where Administrator is an Active Directory user with rights to join and example.com is your Active Directory domain name.

Note: Ignore any license warnings reported from the join process. These are not relevant to SSO for SAP.

Unix configuration

Quick start > Unix configuration

To configure the SAP server on Unix to use Single Sign-on for SAP

Change the group ownership and permissions of the host.keytab file.

# chgrp sapsys /etc/opt/quest/vas/host.keytab; chmod 550 /etc/opt/quest/vas/host.keytab

List the keytab and note the Principal name containing a $.

$ /opt/quest/bin/vastool ktutil list
/etc/opt/quest/vas/host.keytab:

Vno  Type                     Principal

Edit the SAP instance profile by adding the following SNC parameters:

snc/enable = 1
snc/data_protection/min = 1
snc/data_protection/max = 3
snc/data_protection/use = 3
snc/accept_insecure_gui = 1
snc/accept_insecure_cpic = 1
snc/accept_insecure_rfc = 1
snc/accept_insecure_r3int_rfc = 1
snc/r3int_rfc_insecure = 0
snc/r3int_rfc_qop = 3
snc/permit_insecure_start = 1
snc/identity/as = p:ALVLABU22$@EXAMPLE.COM
snc/gssapi_lib = /opt/quest/lib/libvas-gssapi64.so

Note: Set snc/identity/as to the value collected above, prefixed with p:.

Use the following table to determine the proper value for the snc/gssapi_lib setting.

Table 1: SNC library paths
Platform	Path	Filename
Any 32-bit (except HP-UX)	/opt/quest/lib	libvas-gssapi.so
