27.2 Silently Installing the Single Sign-on and Password Management Components

A silent (non-interactive) installation does not display a user interface or ask the user any questions.

  1. Log in as root or an administrator to the computer where you want to install the components.

  2. Stop the application server, such as Tomcat.

  3. (Conditional) If you have the .iso image file for the Identity Manager installation package, navigate to the directory containing the OSP installation files, located by default in the osp_sspr directory.

  4. (Conditional) If you downloaded the installation files from the NetIQ Downloads website, complete the following steps:

    1. Navigate to the .tgz or .zip file for the downloaded image.

    2. Extract the contents of the file to a folder on the local computer.

  5. Copy the silent.properties file on to the location where you have write access.

    For more information about the settings for installation, see Step 7 through Step 9.

  6. Edit the silent.properties file.

  7. To run the silent installation, issue one of the following commands:

    • Linux: osp-sspr-install.bin -i silent -f path_to_silent.properties_file

    • Windows: install.exe -i silent -f path_to_silent.properties_file
