6.2. Procedure – Installing Zorp Authentication Agent on Linux platforms

Purpose: 

This section describes the installation of the Zorp Authentication Agent on Ubuntu Linux operating systems.

Steps: 

1. Create a mount point for the Zorp installation medium:

   sudo mkdir -p /media/cdrom

2. Mount the Zorp installation medium to the previous mount point.

   sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom -o ro

3. Install the Balasys Gnu Privacy Guard (GPG) keys to allow the checking of Zorp package signatures by APT.

   sudo /media/cdrom/install-balasys-archive-key.sh

4. Make sure the following details are added as follows:

   • Add the following lines to the /etc/apt/auth.conf.d/satyr.conf file:

     machine apt.balasys.hu
      login {your username}
     password {your password}

   • Also limit the permissions:

     chmod 600 /etc/apt/auth.conf.d/satyr.conf

   • Add the following lines to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zorp.list

     deb https://apt.balasys.hu/zorp-os ubuntu-bionic/zorp-7.0latest satyr

5. Install the Zorp Authentication Agent. Issue the following commands as root:

   apt update
   apt install satyr

   The above commands install the satyr (Zorp Authentication Agent) and the satyr-mpxd (Zorp Authentication Agent Multiplexer) packages.

6. Zorp Authentication Agent Multiplexer is automatically started after the installation. It can be stopped or started by issuing the systemctl stop satyr-mpxd or systemctl start satyr-mpxd commands, respectively.

7. Zorp Authentication Agent is launched on desktop environment startup. It can be started manually by running satyr-gtk.
