4.3 Editing the Properties File for Silent Configuration

You can run a silent configuration of the Identity Manager components by creating or modifying a properties file with the parameters necessary to complete the configuration for each component. The Identity Manager media provides two sample files that you can use if you installed all the components on a single server.

To edit the properties file:

  1. (Conditional) If you installed all components on the same server, edit one of the sample properties files for the silent configuration, located by default in the following directories:

    • Linux: install/propfiles

    • Windows: install\propfiles

    For example, use the configure_new_tree.properties file to create a new tree.

  2. (Conditional) If you did not install all components on the same server, complete the following steps to generate a properties file for the installed components:

    1. Run the following command:

      ./install.bin -i silent -DSELECTED_PRODUCTS=components_to_be_configured -f filename.properties

      where filename.properties represents one of the sample properties files.

      The program verifies that the specified components are installed and then generates a list of the mandatory parameters for the components.

    2. Using the output from the command in Step 2.a, create a new properties file.

    3. Add a SELECTED_PRODUCTS variable to the file, then specify the components that you want to configure.

  3. In the properties file, specify the settings for the installed components. For more information, see Section 5.0, Understanding the Configuration Parameters.

  4. Add the following password variables to the properties file:

    Password Variable

    Applicable User Account or Service

    IA_IDVAULT_ADMIN_PASSWORD

    Identity Vault administrator

    IA_RBPM_POSTGRESQL_DB_PASSWORD

    Identity applications database administrator (idmadmin)

    IA_RBPM_USERAPPADMIN_PASSWORD

    User Application administrator (uaadmin)

    IA_REPORTING_NOVL_DB_USER_PASSWORD

    Identity Reporting database administrator

    IA_REPORTING_IDM_SERVER_PASSWORD

    Identity Reporting server user (idmrptsrv)

    IA_REPORTING_IDM_USER_PASSWORD

    Identity Reporting user (idmrptuser)

    IA_EAS_DBA_PWD

    Event Auditing Service database administrator (dbauser)

    IA_EAS_ADMIN_PWD

    Event Auditing Service administrator (admin)

    -DUSER_SUPPLIED_PASSWORD

    Single sign-on service

    If you included the duser_supplied_password variable when you initiated the silent installation, the program already applied that value to the single sign-on passwords.

  5. Save and close the file.
