Installing Universal Agent for Linux

Universal Agent for Linux is installed with the unvinst script, which executes the rpm command. The command to start the script must be executed with the superuser ID.

Note
titleNote

Stonebranch, Inc. strongly recommends the use of the unvinst script for the Linux installation above any other method.

Component Selection

The Universal Agent package contains many components, which are grouped into five categories. Components in some categories are installed and activated optionally, as specified in the unvinst script by using unvinst command line parameters.

The following table describes each category, provides the default installation configuration for the components in that category, and identifies the command line parameters to use for components that are optionally installed and activated.
 

Note
titleNote

The default installation configuration refers to new installs only. For upgrades, installed component configurations are not changed by the upgrade process.

...

...

Base components are always installed and activated. They include the Universal Broker, Universal Command (UCM), Universal Data Mover (UDM), and others. Base components provide the core agent infrastructure and workload services.

...

Universal Automation Center Agent (UAG)

...

Always installed, but inactive.

...

Universal Message Service (OMS)

...

Always installed, but inactive.

...

Universal Controller command line programs

...

--user--user--user

Normal UNIX username that is used to execute the Universal Broker daemon. The install grants this user account ownership of all installed files, with the exception of the Universal Agent server components (for example: ucmsrv, udmsrv, and uemsrv) which, due to security requirements, are owned by root and will have their "set user ID on execution" bit set.

  • If the user account that you want to use already exists, specify that user account.
  • If the user account does not exist, the install creates it.
  • If you want to change the user account for an installed Universal Agent for Linux system, you must perform a re-installation and use this parameter to change the user account.
  • If --user is omitted from unvinst, the default is used.
  • If --usermode_install is yes, there is no default.

-register_ubrokerd
--register_ubrokerd

Specifies whether the Universal Broker daemon will be defined to systemd for automatic ubrokerd startup. When this value is 'yes' for system mode installs, a systemd unit file named ubrokerd.service is created. For user mode installs, the name of the file is formatted as described by the -ubrokerd_id command line option.
The install will attempt to install this file into the configured systemd system unit file directory. If a configured value cannot be determined, the script uses /usr/lib/systemd/system. If this option is not specified, it defaults to 'no', and the ubrokerd daemon is not registered with systemd.
no AnchorUAGUAGUAG Parameters-c

User Mode Installation

A user mode installation, implemented through use of the usermode_install installation parameter, lets you install multiple Agents on a single machine and change the default installation directories for any Agent being installed.

You must perform a user mode installation for installing an Agent on a machine where one or more Agents already have been installed.

However, you also can perform a user mode installation for the initial installation of an Agent on a machine.
 

Note
titleNote

You can execute the install as a non-root user if you want to execute the Agent in an unprivileged user mode environment. See User Mode Installation for specific requirements and restrictions associated with an unprivileged user mode environment.

...

Installing Multiple Agents on a Single Machine

If you want to install multiple Agents on the same machine, you must set the following installation parameter values for each Agent being installed in addition to the initially installed Agent.

rm -rf <---unvdir>
Panel
rm -rf <--unvcfgdir>
Panel
rm -rf <--unvdatadir>

...

Step 4

Delete the Agent user account (ubroker) and its home directory:
 

Panel
userdel -r [Usermode Broker user]

...

Step 5

Delete the Agent group (ubroker):
 

Panel
groupdel [Usermode Broker group]
Note
titleAgent

To remove an Agent executing in an unprivileged user mode environment (see User Mode Installation), simply stop the ubrokerd daemon and remove the ./universal installation directory. To make sure that you do not mistakenly remove a system install directory, attempt the removal with a non-privileged user account or the Broker account.

Linux installations utilize Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) for user authentication. Many of the Universal Agent servers, such as Universal Command (UCMD), Universal Data Mover (UDM), and Universal Control (UCTL), must authenticate user accounts and passwords. Proper PAM configuration is essential for product operation.

There are many organizations and companies that package and distribute the Linux operating system. Most have consistent PAM implementations, but there are exceptions.

All supported Linux installations - except for SUSE 9 and below - require the sample PAM configuration file delivered with Universal Agent to be copied to directory /etc/pam.d:

Panel
cp /opt/universal/ucmdsrv/samp/ucmd.pam /etc/pam.d/ucmd

PAM Configuration File

All Universal Agent components utilize the same PAM configuration file.

Configuring the Agent to Run a Task without a Password

Prior to release 5.1, Universal Automation Center used the ops_suexec.nopass file, which listed all trusted users.

As of release 5.1, this file no longer is used. To apply your desired security configuration, access the UAG SECURITY configuration option in the uags.conf configuration file:

11 distribution for Universal Agent will use the system's installation of OpenSSL. If no, the OpenSSL libraries provided with the Python 3.11 distribution will be used.yes
