On Oracle Solaris platforms, install the SGD Gateway with the pkgadd command.
On Linux platforms, install the SGD Gateway with the rpm command.
By default, the SGD Gateway is installed in the
/opt/SUNWsgdg
directory. You can change the
installation directory, as follows:
Oracle Solaris platforms – The installation program asks you for the installation directory when you install the software
Linux platforms – You
can choose a different installation directory, by using the
--prefix
option with the
rpm command when you install the software
Save the SGD Gateway package to a temporary directory on the host.
If you are installing from the installation media, the
package is in the gateway
directory.
Alternatively, download the installation program from an
SGD web server at
https://
,
where server.example.com
server.example.com
is the
name of an SGD server. When the
SGD web server Welcome Page is displayed, click
Install the Oracle Secure Global Desktop Gateway.
These are the package files:
SUNWsgdg-
for Oracle Solaris on x86 platforms
version
.sol-x86.pkg
SUNWsgdg-
for Oracle Solaris on SPARC technology platforms
version
.sol-sparc.pkg
SUNWsgdg-
on Linux platforms
version
.i386.rpm
where version
is the
SGD Gateway version number.
Log in as superuser (root) on the host.
Install the SGD Gateway.
If the package file is compressed, you must expand it before installing.
To install on Oracle Solaris on x86 platforms:
# pkgadd -d /tempdir
/SUNWsgdg-version
.sol-x86.pkg
To install on Oracle Solaris on SPARC technology platforms:
# pkgadd -d /tempdir
/SUNWsgdg-version
.sol-sparc.pkg
On Oracle Solaris platforms, if the installation fails
with a pwd: cannot determine current
directory!
error message, change to the
/
directory and try again.
tempdir
To install on Linux platforms:
# rpm -Uvh /tempdir
/SUNWsgdg-version
.i386.rpm
Verify that the SGD Gateway package is registered in the package database.
On Oracle Solaris platforms:
# pkginfo -x SUNWsgdg
On Linux platforms:
# rpm -qa | grep -i SUNWsgdg
Run the SGD Gateway setup program.
# /opt/SUNWsgdg/bin/gateway setup
The SGD Gateway setup program presents the following settings that you can accept or change:
SGD Gateway port settings. The interface and port used by the SGD Gateway for incoming connections. By default, the SGD Gateway listens on port 443 on all interfaces.
Network entry point. The Internet Protocol (IP) address, or Domain Name System (DNS) name, and the port that client devices use to connect to the SGD Gateway. This is not always the same as the address of the SGD Gateway. Depending on the configuration of your network, this can be the address of a load balancer or other external device.
For example, if users connect directly to an
SGD Gateway at
gateway1.example.com
, type
gateway1.example.com:443
for the
network entry point.
If users connect to the SGD Gateway through
a load balancer at lb.example.com
,
type lb.example.com:443
for the
network entry point.
Secure connections. Whether to secure the connections between the SGD Gateway and the SGD servers in the array. By default, the SGD Gateway uses secure connections. To use secure connections, the SGD servers in the array must be running in secure mode.
See Section C.4, “Using Unencrypted Connections to the SGD Array” for more information about using unencrypted connections to the SGD servers in the array.
These settings can be changed later, by using the gateway config create command. See Section 2.2.1.1, “How to Configure the Ports and Connections for the SGD Gateway”.
After installing the software, you must perform additional configuration of the SGD Gateway. See Chapter 2, Configuring the SGD Gateway for details of what you need to do.
