SunScreen EFS Release 3.0 Installation Guide

Installing the Software on the Screen

The next step is to install the SunScreen EFS 3.0 software on the machine that serves as the Screen. If you have a monitor and a keyboard attached to your Screen, you can use the installation wizard. If you are operating the Screen without a monitor, you must either temporarily attach a monitor, or install the software via the command line. Command line instructions are located in the Appendix A.

If you are using self-generated certificates, use Option 1. If you are using issued certificates, use Option 2.


Note -

Before starting the procedure below, configure all network interfaces you plan on using, if not already done. SunScreen EFS will only see the network interfaces that Solaris sees. For details on Solaris network configuration, see the documentation accompanying the Solaris operating environment.


Option 1: To Install the Software on the Screen When Using Self-Generated Certificates

Note -

In this procedure, you need the Administration Station's certificate ID (MKID) from the previous procedure.


  1. On the Screen, open a terminal window and become root.

  2. Insert the SunScreen EFS 3.0 CD-ROM into the Screen's CD-ROM drive.

  3. Mount the CD-ROM by typing:


    # volcheck
    

  4. Add the software by typing:


    # /cdrom/cdrom0/screenInstaller
    

    The Screen Install wizard's Welcome window appears, as shown in Figure 4-6.

    Note -

    If there are missing required packages, a list will be displayed. You must exit the installation wizard at this point and install the required Solaris packages from your Solaris CD.


  6. Click Next to continue the installation process.

    The Secondary HA Designation window appears, as shown in Figure 4-8. No is the default.

    Choose Yes if you are configuring an HA cluster and are installing the Secondary SunScreen of that cluster. If this is what you want to do, exit the installation wizard and see the SunScreen EFS 3.0 Administration Guide for instructions on how to set-up an HA cluster.

    Note -

    You must reboot the machine at this time in order to complete the installation process.


The software is installed on the Screen. You now proceed to "To Set the PATH, Install SKIP Upgrades, and Display the AdminSetup.readme File".

Option 2: To Install the Software on the Screen When Using Issued Certificates

The procedure to install the software on the Screen when using Issued Certificates is nearly identical to the previous procedure, which used Self-Generated Certificates. The difference is only that your certificates are contained on diskette instead of being self-generated, and they must be installed when the Select Certificate Window appears.

To install the software on the Screen when using Issued Certificates, follow the instructions contained in the procedure, "Option 1: To Install the Software on the Screen When Using Self-Generated Certificates". When the Select Certificate Type window appears, select Issued Certificate, and follow the procedure below. Once the certificates are installed, return to the previous procedure and resume with Step 17.

To do this procedure, you will need the Key and Certificate diskette.

  1. From the Select Certificate Type window, select Issued Certificate and Click Next.

    The Select Certificate Window is shown in Figure 4-23. The Issued Certificate Key Diskettes window next appears, as shown in Figure 4-24.

  2. Insert the Administration Station's Key and Certificate diskette and Click Read Diskette.

    Wait until The Issued Certificate ID appears at the bottom of the window, as shown in Figure 4-25.

    Graphic

  3. Write down the certificate ID, which is eight characters long, and Click Next.

    The Issued Certificate Key Diskettes window appears, as shown in Figure 4-26.

    Graphic

  4. Insert the Screen's Certificate ID diskette into the floppy drive and Click Read Diskette button.

    The Issued Certificate ID appears at the bottom of the window.

  5. Write down the Screen's certificate ID, which is eight characters long, and Click Next.

    The Select Initial Security Level window appears.

  6. Complete installation on the Screen by following the instructions in the previous procedure, "Option 1: To Install the Software on the Screen When Using Self-Generated Certificates". Resume with Step 17.

To Set the PATH, Install SKIP Upgrades, and Display the AdminSetup.readme File
  1. On the Screen, open a terminal window and become root, if not already.

  2. Set the PATH and MANPATH by editing your shell initialization file (such as .profile or .login file).

    1. Set the PATH for the Bourne shell by typing:

      PATH=/opt/SUNWicg/SunScreen/bin:$PATH

      PATH=/usr/dt/bin:$PATH

      export PATH

    2. Set the MANPATH for the Bourne shell by typing:

      MANPATH=$MANPATH:/opt/SUNWicg/SunScreen/man

      export MANPATH

  3. Install any SKIP upgrades (Export Controlled [1024-bit] or U.S. and Canada Use Only [2048-bit] keys) as instructed in the documentation that is included with the SKIP upgrade CD-ROM.

  4. To display the AdminSetup.readme file, in a terminal window type:


    # more /etc/opt/SUNWicg/SunScreen/AdminSetup.readme
    

    The AdminSetup.readme file contains the Screen's certificate ID as well as the command you run in order to give the Administration Station the Screen's certificate ID, as shown in Figure 4-27. Write the command down for later use, which begins with skiphost -a.

    Figure 4-27 AdminSetup.readme file

    Graphic


    Tip -

    If you trust that the network between the Screen and the Administration Station is secure, you can ftp the AdminSetup.readme file from the Screen to the Administration Station. This saves you the task of writing down the information which is required in the next procedure.


  5. Eject the CD-ROM by typing:


    # eject cdrom0
    

  6. If SKIP upgrades were installed, reboot the Screen by typing:


    # sync; init 6
    

You now return to the Administration Station to complete SKIP configuration. Proceed to "Using SKIP for Encrypted Communication".
