Installing SELinux Clients Using the Installation File


This type of installation allows you to install the SELinux Client locally from the command line by using either of the standard Linux installation packages downloaded (or generated) by clicking the following buttons on the Downloading the Linux Client Installation File page:

Linux x64 Client Installation (.tar.gz): Downloaded with default monitoring parameters.

Linux x64 Client Installation Package (.tar.gz+.ini): Generated with custom monitoring parameters.

Linux x64 Client Installation (.rpm): Downloaded for use with RPM Manager.


Installing the SELinux Client is done in the same way (and using any of the same packages listed above) as when installing the standard Linux Client, where the installer automatically selects the SELinux-compatible version (in the package) to use for installation.

NOTE: If required, the following flags can be used to override the automatic package selection:

-auditd - to force installation of the SELinux-compatible version.

-noauditd - to force installation of the standard (non-SELinux-compatible) version.

NOTE: Before installing the SELinux Client, the target Linux endpoint needs to have the SELinux security module enabled and operating in Enforcing mode.


To install the SELinux Client on a target endpoint running a Linux operating system from the command line, do the following:

1. Copy the installation package to any folder.

2. Run the Terminal.

3. Using the Terminal, navigate to the folder with the installation package by entering the following command:

$ cd path/to/folder

4. Unpack the installation package by entering the following command:

$ tar xvfz SytecaLinuxClientx64.tar.gz

5. Navigate to the unpacked EkranClient folder by entering the following command:

$ cd EkranClient

NOTE: The EkranClient folder contains the "install.sh" script used to install the Client.

6. Run the installation script, specifying the Application Server name or Application Server IP address and the port used for connection to the Application Server (where port 9447 is recommended) by entering the following command:

$ sudo ./install.sh <Server_name_or_Server_IP_address> <Server_port> <-withX11?>

IN SAAS ONLY: Instead of <Server_name_or_Server_IP_address>, use the hostname or IP address of the load balancer on the Syteca proxy server and port 443 must be specified, in the command:

$ sudo ./install.sh <Hostname_or_IP_address_of_the_load_balancer_on_the_Syteca_proxy_server> 443 <-withX11?>

7. After the SELinux-compatible Client is installed, it is displayed in the list of Clients on the Clients page in the Management Tool, and will start monitoring a new session the next time a user logs in.
