14.1 Performing an Interactive Installation

You can install SLM for IGA in an interactive mode or silently. The interactive mode allows you to perform a standard or custom installation. In the standard installation, you install SLM for IGA with default values for ports, licenses, and passwords. To change the port assignments, licenses, and, passwords during installation, use custom installation.

After completing the installation, migrate your EAS data to SLM for IGA if you are upgrading to Identity Manager 4.6. For more information, see Migrating from Event Auditing Service to Sentinel Log Management for IGA.

You can install SLM for IGA using the interactive mode in two ways:

14.1.1 Standard Installation

  1. Log in as administrative user to the computer where you want to install SLM for IGA.

  2. From the directory that contains the installation files, execute the following command:

    ./install-logmanager
  3. Specify the language that you want to use for installation, then press Enter.

  4. Press the Spacebar to read through the license agreement.

  5. Enter yes or y to accept the license agreement and continue with the installation.

    The installation might take a few seconds to load the installation packages.

  6. When prompted, specify 1 to proceed with the standard configuration.

    Installation proceeds with the default evaluation license key included with the installer. At any time during or after the evaluation period, you can replace the evaluation license with a license key you have purchased.

  7. Specify the password for the administrator user admin.

  8. Confirm the password again.

    This password is used by admin, dbauser, and appuser.

    The installation finishes and the server starts. It might take a few minutes for all services to start after installation because the system performs a one-time initialization. Wait until the installation finishes before you log in to the server.

To access the SLM for IGA main interface, specify the following URL in your web browser:

https://<IP_Address/DNS_SLM for IGA_server>:8443/SLM for IGA/views/main.html

Where <IP_Address/DNS_SLM for IGA_server> is the IP address or DNS name of the SLM for IGA server and 8443 is the default port for the SLM for IGA server.
