After a successful installation of WA Agent 11.3 SP4 using the "unix_installer.properties" file, the Agent could not be started due to the "security.cryptkey" parameter set to blank in "agentparm.txt" file :
security.filename=/opt/CA/WorkloadAutomationAE/SystemAgent/WA_AGENT/security.txt
security.level=off
security.cryptkey= < ======
WA Agent 11.3 SP4 on Linux
The encountered problem was related to the "STRONG_ENCRYPTION_FILE" option not set in "unix_installer.properties" file:
#STRONG_ENCRYPTION_CIPHER=DES
#STRONG_ENCRYPTION_CIPHER=DESEDE
STRONG_ENCRYPTION_CIPHER=AES
#STRONG_ENCRYPTION_CIPHER=BLOWFISH
#STRONG_ENCRYPTION_KEYGEN=0xC468284E7BF6FB41
#STRONG_ENCRYPTION_FILE=$USER_INSTALL_DIR$$/$cryptkey.txt < =====
The recommended solution is to set it to set it to "cryptkey.txt" in "unix_installer.properties" file :
#STRONG_ENCRYPTION_CIPHER=DES
#STRONG_ENCRYPTION_CIPHER=DESEDE
STRONG_ENCRYPTION_CIPHER=AES
#STRONG_ENCRYPTION_CIPHER=BLOWFISH
#STRONG_ENCRYPTION_KEYGEN=0xC468284E7BF6FB41
STRONG_ENCRYPTION_FILE=cryptkey.txt < =====
Problem resolved by applying the solution.
The silent installation completed successfully.
