Distribute the Clean Access Agent
Manually Uploading the Agent to the CAM
When performing a software upgrade to the CAM and CAS, it is not necessary to upload the installation 
file for the Clean Access Agent since it is automatically included with the CAM software. However in 
certain cases, it is possible to manually upload the Agent Setup installation file to the CAM directly, for 
example, if you need to reinstall the Agent or manually change the version of the Agent distributed to 
new users. 
The CAM will automatically publish the Agent Setup file to the connected CAS(es) when the Agent 
Setup file is uploaded manually. There is no version check while publishing, so the Agent Setup can be 
downgraded or replaced. For details on version compatibility for the CAM/CAS and Agent, see the 
Release Notes for Cisco Clean Access Version 3.5(x)
The following steps describe how to manually upload the Agent setup file to the CAM. 
Caution
With release 3.5(1) and above, you must upload the Clean Access Agent installation setup file as a tar.gz 
file (without untarring it) to the CAM. Make sure you do NOT extract the .exe file before uploading.
Step 1
Log into Cisco Secure Software 
(
) and open the Cisco Clean 
Access Agent download page to download the CCAAgentSetup-3.5.x.tar.gz file to an accessible location 
on your machine (replace the .x in the filename with the applicable version number). 
Step 2
Go to Device Management > Clean Access > Clean Access Agent > Distribution.
Step 3
In the Clean Access Agent Setup to Upload field, click Browse, and navigate to the folder where the 
Clean Access Agent installation file is located.
Step 4
Select the .tar.gz file and click Open. The name of the file should appear in the text field.
Step 5
In the Version field, type the version of the Agent to be uploaded (for example, 3.5.2). The Version you 
enter should be the same as the version for the .tar.gz file, and should be in the form “x.y.z”.
Step 6
Click Upload.
