The installation program does the following:

  • Designates an existing version of an application server to use.

  • Designates an existing version of a database to use. The database stores identity application data and configuration information.

  • Configures the JDK’s certificates file so that the identity application (running on the application server) can communicate securely with the Identity Vault and the User Application driver.

  • Configures and deploys the Java web application archive (WAR) file for the User Application to the application server. On WebSphere, you must manually deploy the WAR.

  • Enables logging through Event Auditing Service, Sentinel, or OpenXDAS auditing clients if you choose to do so.

  • Enables you to import an existing master key to restore a specific installation of the identity applications and to support clusters.
