5.5 Installing Identity Reporting Silently

A silent (non-interactive) installation does not display a user interface or ask the user any questions. Instead, the system uses information from a silent properties file. You can run the silent installation after editing the file to customize the installation process for your environment. To perform a guided installation, see Section 5.4, Using the Guided Process to Install Identity Reporting.

To prepare for the installation, review the prerequisites and system requirements listed in Section 1.9.3, Identity Reporting Server System Requirements. Also see the Release Notes accompanying the release.

  1. Log in as root on Linux server or an administrator on Windows server where you want to install Identity Reporting.

  2. (Conditional) To avoid specifying passwords for the installation in the silent properties file for a silent installation, use the export or set command. For example: 

    export install_db_reporting_secret=myPassWord

    The silent installation process reads the passwords from the environment, rather than from the silent properties file.

    Specify the following passwords:

    install_db_admin_secret

    Specify the password for the administrator for the reporting database.

    install_db_reporting_secret

    Specify the password for idm_rtp_cfg which is used internally to support report administration during runtime.

    install_smtp_secret_auth_user

    (Conditional) To use authentication for email communications, specify the password for the default SMTP email user.

    install_authserver_client_secret

    Specify the client ID password for authenticating using Access Manager or OSP.

    install_truststore_secret

    Specify the password for the trust store.

  3. To specify the installation parameters, complete the following steps:

    1. Locate the sample identity-governance-install-silent.properties silent properties file, by default in the same directory as the installation scripts for Identity Governance.

    2. In a text editor, open the silent properties file.

    3. Specify the parameter values. For a description of the parameters, see Step 6.

    4. Save and close the file.

  4. Stop the application server, such as Tomcat. For examples, see Stopping, Starting, and Restarting Tomcat.

  5. To launch the installation process, enter the following command:

    • Linux: ./identity-governance-install-linux.bin -i silent -f path_to_silent_properties_file

    • Windows: From a command line enter: cmd /c "identity-governance-install-win.exe -i silent -f path_to_silent_properties_file”

    NOTE:If the silent properties file resides in a different directory from the installation script, you must specify the full path to the file. The script unpacks the necessary files to a temporary directory and then launches the silent installation.

  6. When the installation process completes, continue to Section 6.0, Completing the Installation Process.
