Chapter 1 Overview
Installation Dialog Overview
Installation Location
The next question in the installation dialog asks, “Where do you want to install?” The default location
to install the software is /opt/CSCOar. You can choose to specify another location by entering it at this
point. That directory would then be the base install directory, sometimes referred to as $INSTALL or
$BASEDIR.
License File Location
The installation dialog asks for the location of the license file.
Access Registrar requires FLEXlm license file to operate. A list
of space delimited license files or directories can be supplied as
input; license files must have the extension ".lic".
Where are the FLEXlm license files located? [] [?,q]
Cisco AR uses a licensing mechanism that requires a file to be copied from a directory on the Cisco AR
workstation. Earlier versions of Cisco AR used a license key. You should copy the license file to the
Cisco AR workstation before you begin the software installation. You can copy the license file to /tmp
or another directory you might prefer. The installation process will copy the license file from the location
you provide to /opt/CSCOar/license.
See “Cisco Access Registrar 4.2 Licensing” section on page 1-4 for more detailed information about the
Cisco AR license file requirements.
Java 2 Runtime Environment
The installation dialog asks for the location of the Java 2 Runtime Environment (J2RE). Cisco AR
provides a web-based GUI that requires J2RE version 1.4.X to be installed on the Cisco AR server.
Where is the J2RE installed?
If you already have a Java 2 platform installed, enter the directory where it is installed. If you need the
J2RE, you can download it from:
http://java.sun.com
Open Database Connectivity
The installation dialog asks for the location of the Oracle installation directory, required for Open
Database Connectivity (ODBC) configuration. The installation process uses this information to set the
ORACLE_HOME variable in the /opt/CSCOar/bin/arserver script.
If you are not using ODBC, press Enter to skip this step.
