Quick installation by using easy install (Recommended)

Important:

• For fresh installations, we recommend you refer to this article for a quick installation. This article steps through how to install and configure the Linux VDA by using easy install. Easy install saves time and labor and is less error-prone than manual installation. It helps you set up a running environment of the Linux VDA by installing the necessary packages and customizing the configuration files automatically.

• To create non-domain joined VDAs, you must use Machine Creation Services (MCS). For more information, see Use Machine Creation Services (MCS) to create Linux VMs.

• To learn about features available for non-domain-joined VDAs, go to Non-domain-joined VDAs.

Step 1: Prepare configuration information and the Linux machine

Collect the following configuration information needed for easy install:

• Host name - Host name of the machine on which the Linux VDA is to be installed
• IP address of Domain Name Server
• IP address or string name of NTP Server
• Domain name - The NetBIOS name of the domain
• Realm name - The Kerberos realm name
• Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the domain

Important:

• To install the Linux VDA, verify that the repositories are added correctly on the Linux machine.
• To launch a session, verify that the X Window system and desktop environments are installed.

Considerations

• The workgroup name, by default, is the domain name. To customize the workgroup in your environment, do the following:

  a. Create the /tmp/ctxinstall.conf file on the Linux VDA machine.
  b. Add the workgroup=<your workgroup> line to the file and save your changes.

• Centrify does not support pure IPv6 DNS configuration. At least one DNS server using IPv4 is required in /etc/resolv.conf for adclient to find AD services properly.
