30.2 Silently Installing One SSO Provider

A silent (non-interactive) installation does not display a user interface or ask the user any questions.

  1. Log in as root or an administrator to the computer where you want to install the components.

  2. Stop Tomcat.

  3. (Conditional) If you have the .iso image file for the Identity Manager installation package, navigate to the directory containing the OSP installation files, located by default in the osp directory.

  4. (Conditional) If you downloaded the installation files from the NetIQ Downloads website, complete the following steps:

    1. Navigate to the .tgz or .zip file for the downloaded image.

    2. Extract the contents of the file to a folder on the local computer.

  5. Copy the osp.configure.properties file on to the location where you have write access and edit this file.

    For more information about the settings for installation, see Step 7 and Step 8.

  6. To run the silent installation, issue one of the following commands:

    • Linux: osp-install-linux.bin -i silent -f path_to_silent.properties_file

    • Windows: osp-install-win.exe -i silent -f path_to_silent.properties_file

    In this command, specify the absolute path of the file. For example:

    • Linux: osp-install-linux.bin -i silent -f /tmp/osp.configure.properties

    • Windows: osp-install-win.exe -i silent -f c:\opt\netiq\idm\apps\osp\osp.configure.properties

  7. Install SSPR. For more information, see Section XI, Installing the Password Management Component.
