3.1.1 Linux Framework Manager Installation

Linux hosts use the RPM packaging system for installation, upgrade, and removal.

By default, the installation program installs the software into /opt/netiq/npum. To change this, create a directory in the required part of the file system and create a symbolic link to /opt/netiq/npum.  

Prerequisites

  • When you are installing framework manager in SLES 12 or later, ensure that LSB (Linux Standard Base) version 3.0 or later is installed.

  • If you want to use Enhanced Access Control feature, you must install 32bit glibc (GNU C library) library in 64 bit RHEL manager.

To install the Linux manager:

  1. Copy the installation package to a temporary location and use the following command to install the file:

    rpm -i <filename>.rpm
  2. After installation is complete, check that the service is running by viewing the log file. The log file is located in /opt/netiq/npum/logs/unifid.log, if the default install location was used. If the manager installed correctly, services should be listening on 0.0.0.0:29120 and 0.0.0.0:443.

  3. If you have been supplied with a license, log in to the Framework Console and install the license. For information, refer to Accessing the Console, and then Downloading and Installing NetIQ Privileged Account Manager License.

    Syntax: msiexec /i <Installer Filename> /passive

    For more information about other msiexec command-line options, see Microsoft documentation.

  3. After installation is complete, check that the service is running by viewing the log file. The log file is located in C:\Program Files\Netiq\npum\logs\unifid.log, if the default install location was used. If the manager installed correctly, services should be listening on 0.0.0.0:29120 and 0.0.0.0:443.
