3.2. Installation on Red Hat Enterprise Linux

To install Enterprise Security Client and its supporting components on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, do the following:

NOTE

If the up2date utility was already used to install Enterprise Security Client, there is no need for further installation; the client has already been installed. The following procedure is for installing from a CD-ROM image.

  1. Copy the Enterprise Security Client installation RPMs packaged with Red Hat Certificate System.

  2. Install the RPMs as root in the following order: 

    su 

rpm -ivh ccid-1.0.1-5.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh pcsc-lite-1.3.1-7.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh pcsc-lite-libs-1.3.1-7.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh ifd-egate-0.05-15.i386.rpm
rmp -ivh coolkey-1.0.1-4.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh esc-1.0.0-19.i386.rpm

    The version numbers for the different packages may be different than those listed here because of updates, patches or other releases. These are included as an example.

The Enterprise Security Client installation is located in /usr/lib/esc-1.0.0. The esc shell script is installed in /usr/bin/esc. Enterprise Security Client can be launched by typing esc at a command prompt.

Enterprise Security Client for Linux has a daemon process which runs silently, waiting for a smart card to be inserted. When an unenrolled smart card is inserted, the daemon automatically launches the client UI, and the Enterprise Security Client guides the user through the enrollment process. The client can also be launched manually by selecting System Settings, then Smart Card Manager, from the system menu.
