Downloading and installing the Secure Agent on Linux

To install the Secure Agent on a Linux machine, you must download and run the Secure Agent installation program and then register the agent.

Secure Agent registration requires an install token. To get the install token, copy the token when you download the agent or use the

Generate Install Token

option in

Administrator

. The token expires after 24 hours.

When you register the agent, it is added to its own Secure Agent group by default. You can add the agent to a different Secure Agent group.

Before you download and install the Secure Agent, verify that no other Secure Agent is installed on the machine using the same Linux user account. If there is, you must uninstall it.

Open

Administrator

and select

Runtime Environments

On the

Runtime Environments

page, click

Download Secure Agent

Select the Linux 64-bit operating system platform, copy the install token, and then click

Download

The installation program is downloaded to your machine. The name of the installation program is

agent64_install_ng_ext.<agent core version>.bin

Save the installation program to a directory on the machine where you want to run the Secure Agent.

If the file path contains spaces, the installation might fail.

From a shell command line, navigate to the directory where you downloaded the installation program and enter the following command:

./agent64_install_ng_ext.bin -i console

When the installer completes, navigate to the following directory:

<Secure Agent installation directory>/apps/agentcore

To start the Secure Agent, enter the following command:

./infaagent startup

The Secure Agent Manager starts. You must register the agent using the user name that you use to access

Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services

. You must also supply the install token.

If you did not copy the install token when you downloaded the agent, click

Generate Install Token

on the

Runtime Environments

page in

Administrator

, and copy the token.

To register the agent, in the

<Secure Agent installation directory>/apps/agentcore

directory, enter one of the following commands using your

Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services

user name and the token that you copied:

To add the agent to its own Secure Agent group, use the following command:

./consoleAgentManager.sh configureToken <user name> <install token>

To add the agent to an existing Secure Agent group, use the following command:

./consoleAgentManager.sh configureTokenWithRuntime <user name> <install token> <Secure Agent group name>

If the command includes a Secure Agent group name that doesn't exist, the Secure Agent is not assigned to a group. Be sure to use a valid Secure Agent group name.

The following table lists the command options:

Option	Description
User Name	Required. Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services user name of the user installing the Secure Agent.
Install Token	Required. The install token that you copied.
Secure Agent group name	Optional. Include when you want to add the agent to an existing Secure Agent group instead. If this option isn’t included in the command, the agent will be in its own Secure Agent group.

You can check the registration status of a Secure Agent using the following command:
