To run a silent installation of Identity Manager, create a properties files with the parameters required to complete the installation. The Identity Manager media includes a sample properties file at \products\idm\windows\setup\silent.properties.
To perform a silent installation:
In the installation directory, create a properties file or edit the sample silent.properties file.
In a text editor, specify the following parameters in the file:
Specifies whether you want to install the Identity Manager server and drivers. The allowed values are True or False.
Specifies the edition of the Identity Manager server. For example, Advanced Edition.
Specifies the LDAP distinguished name of the Administrator account for the Identity Vault. For example, c=admin,o=netiq. The installation program uses this account to connect the Identity Manager engine to the Identity Vault.
You might need to add this parameter to the sample silent.properties file.
Specifies the password for the Administrator account for the Identity Vault. For example, netiq123. You might need to add this parameter to the sample silent.properties file.
If you do not want to include the password value in the file, leave the field empty. The installation program then reads the value from the EDIR_USER_PASSWORD environment variable. Ensure that you have an environment variable for EDIR_USER_PASSWORD.
Specifies the IP address for the Identity Vault.
If you have multiple instances of the Identity Vault, specify the address for each instance.
