2.4 Installing Identity Manager Home Using the Updater Utility

When installing Identity Manager Home and the Provisioning Dashboard, we recommend you use the included Updater utility (IdmHPD.bin) to automatically install and configure the application in your Identity Manager environment.

The Updater utility includes the following files:

WARNING:The installation process assumes that you used the default Roles Based Provisioning Module path and context for JBoss, as follows:

/opt/novell/idm/jboss/server/IDMProv/

If you specified a different path for the Roles Based Provisioning Module, use that path in the installation steps. If you specified a context other than IDMProv, see Installing Identity Manager Home Using a Non-Default Context before continuing with the installation process.

  1. Download the Identity Manager Home Updater files to your User Application server.

  2. Stop the JBoss application server.

  3. At a command prompt, navigate to the directory where you downloaded the Updater files and enter the following command:

    ./IdmHPD.bin

    NOTE:You may need to modify the IdmHPD.bin file to allow you to execute the file as a program.
