Ensure that you have backed up all data and software on the disk to another machine. The Linux Access Gateway installation completely erases all the data on your hard disk.

An Administration Console must be installed before you can install the Access Gateway. See Installing the Access Manager Administration Console.

If a firewall separates the Linux Access Gateway and the Administration Console, make sure the required ports are opened. See When a Firewall Separates the Administration Console from a Component in the Novell Access Manager 3.0 SP4 Setup Guide.
