4.4 Performing a Silent Configuration

You can run a silent configuration of the Identity Manager components by creating 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.

For more information about the parameters that you can configure, see Section 5.0, Understanding the Configuration Parameters.

To perform a silent configuration:

  1. (Conditional) To add a secondary server to an existing tree, complete the following steps:

    1. Navigate to the ndscheck utility, located by default in the following directories:

      • Linux: /opt/novell/eDirectory/bin/ndscheck

      • Windows: install_location\NDS

    2. Specify the mandatory parameters and run the following command:

      ndscheck [-h hostname port] [-a admin_FDN] [-w password]

  2. (Optional) Instruct the configuration 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.

  3. To run the silent configuration, issue one of the following commands:

    • Linux: configure.bin -i silent -f path_to_properties_file

    • Windows: configure.exe -i silent -f path_to_properties_file
