To install Identity Manager using the wizard:

  1. Log in as a root or administrative user to the computer where you want to install the components.

  2. Mount the .iso file or create a DVD from the .iso file. For more information, see Section 3.1, Downloading the ISO File.

  3. (Optional) Instruct the installation process to apply the same password for all integrated installation configuration parameters. For more information, see Section 3.2, Using the Same Password for all Integrated Installation Configuration Parameters.

  4. From the root directory of the .iso file, access the installation files, then complete one of the following actions:

    • Linux: Enter ./install.bin

    • Windows: Run install.exe

  5. On the title page, select the appropriate language from the drop-down list, then click OK.

  6. On the Introduction page, view the different Identity Manager components you can install, then click Next.

  7. Read and accept the license agreement, then click Next.

    For more information about the component options, see Section 1.2, Understanding the Integrated Installation Process.

  9. (Conditional) On a Windows server, specify the installation folder, and then click Next.

  10. Review the pre-installation summary, then click Install.

    NOTE:Depending on the selected components, the installation process might take some time to complete.
