Install the Agent via SCCM
In an environment with multiple partitions, you can download one Software Vulnerability Manager agent from the CSI server and add the agent to a preconfigured Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) package. The preconfigured SCCM package must first implement the registry keys necessary to identify the Software Vulnerability Manager agent and the relevant partition where the Software Vulnerability Manager agent should deliver the scan result. Then the SCCM package installs the Software Vulnerability Manager agent.
The end result is to have several SCCM packages that are all preconfigured to create the appropriate registry keys and only require an “unidentified” agent, which is downloaded directly from the CSI server. When agents need to be upgraded, only one Software Vulnerability Manager agent must be downloaded to replace the existing agent file in the SCCM package.
Important:The following instructions will only work with the Software Vulnerability Manager On-Premises version 7.5.1.12-1 and above versions.
Install the Agent via SCCM:
|
1.
|
Create the registry keys required to identify the Software Vulnerability Manager Agent and the related Partition using one of the below registry locations, depending on the OS architecture (32/64 bit): |
|
•
|
(32bit OS) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Secunia\CSI Agent |
|
•
|
(64bit OS) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Secunia\CSI Agent |
|
2.
|
Name the four required registry keys, which are all String Values, as follows: |
These values are available in the Software Vulnerability Manager Console, and any user can acquire the values for these four registry keys.
|
3.
|
The registry keys can be configured by adding installation switches to a command-line installation: |
|
Set the Server host name
|
--host <host name>
|
|
Set the Server port
|
--port <port number>
|
|
Set the Software Vulnerability Manager token
|
--token <token>
|
|
Set the Software Vulnerability Manager user ID
|
--userid <userid>
|
|
4.
|
In the Software Vulnerability Manager console under Scanning > Single Host Agents > Download Agent, download the agent. On the same page there is a button named Email Settings. Click this button, and an email will be sent to the email address specified in the related Software Vulnerability Manager user profile. |
|
5.
|
Copy the “unstamped” agent file from the CSI server /usr/local/Secunia/csi/binaries/csia/win/csia.exe (do not rename the file) to the preferred installation location on the host (Default location is C:\Program Files (x86)\Flexera\CSI Agent\csia.exe). |
|
6.
|
Install the csia.exe via the command line: Start cmd with run-as-admin. |
|
7.
|
Access the folder location where the csia.exe is located and run the command: csia.exe -i username@domain:password -d install.log -v –skip-wait |
|
8.
|
Open Regedit to locate the new Software Vulnerability Manager Agent folder. |
