8.2 SecureLogin Properties and Values

Use the following property values to install SecureLogin.

NOTE:All the commands described in this section display details on the user interface. Use option /quiet to stop displaying details on the user interface displays and option /passive for minimal display of details on the user interface. For example: NetIQSecureLogin.exe /install /quiet X_PRIMARYSTORE=MAD.

8.2.1 Installing in eDirectory Environment

When you install or migrate SecureLogin in LDAP environment, ensure that certificates used are certified by Certification Authority (CA). Server Certificates are installed and available on your LDAP server. For more information on how to export certificates from eDirectory using iManager, see Exporting Certificates from eDirectory Using iManager.

WARNING:Installing SecureLogin without a root CA certificate makes SecureLogin and the LDAP server open to security threats. It is not recommended to install SecureLogin without the root CA certificate.

IMPORTANT:Ensure that you provide the valid root CA certificate on every workstation during SecureLogin installation. The installation fails if the valid root CA certificate is not specified. However, if you want to install SecureLogin without the root CA certificate, see Installing SecureLogin in the LDAP Mode Without Root CA Certificate.

IMPORTANT:Ensure that the Subject Name or Subject Alternative Name of the certificate in eDirectory matches with the SecureLogin LDAP server name. If it does not match, create a new eDirectory certificate with the custom option in iManager.

IMPORTANT:Use the following command to upgrade SecureLogin without a root CA certificate.

NetIQSecureLogin.exe /install INSTALLWITHOUTCACERT=Yes

8.2.8 Silent Install

A silent install provides InstallShield Wizard with instructions for installing SecureLogin. To use a silent install, you must use a response file.

A response file is a text file (responsefile.ini) containing sections and keys. The response file is created during installation in <WidowsVolume>\NSLFiles\responsefile.ini. It captures your responses to the dialogs that you encounter during the installation. This is later used as an input for silent installation. It is recommended that you do not modify the responsefile.ini.

IMPORTANT:During silent install, the PATHTOISS property must contain the absolute path to responsefile.ini. If it is a relative path or if the file path is invalid, then SecureLogin installation is aborted.

For instance,

  • An administrator runs the graphical installer on a single machine. During the install, the administrator selects the configuration he or she wants to roll out to the machines of the target users.

  • At the end of the installation a response file is created and available located in <windows Volume>\NSLFiles. It contains the command line properties required to replicate the graphical installation the administrator has done.

  • The administrator can take this response file and copy it to the target machines or to a mapped network drive for use with target machine installs.

8.2.9 Installing SecureLogin Using The Responsefile.ini File

IMPORTANT:Upgrading SecureLogin using the responsefile.ini file is not supported.

To install SecureLogin on all the target machines with the responsefile.ini file, run the following command:

NetIQSecureLogin.exe /install X_PRIMARYSTORE=LDAP PATHTOISS="c:\temp\responsefile.ini" /quiet /log /log.txt

Substitute value of X_PRIMARYSTORE with one of the following values:

  • MAD -Microsoft Active Directory

  • ADAM - Active Directory Application Mode

  • NDS - NetIQ eDirectory with Novell Client

  • LDAP - NetIQ eDirectory with LDAP

If you try to install NSL using responsefile.ini in any of LDAP modes (like Gina/CP, CM and App mode), then these modes have certain prerequisites like NICI, NMAS etc. So it is important to pass value for Data store along with responsefile.ini.

For example :

NetIQSecureLogin.exe X_PRIMARYSTORE=LDAP PATHTOISS="C\Users....\responsefile.ini" /quietInstallation fails if we do not specify the X_PRIMARYSTORE, as prerequisites are not met. If prerequisites like NICI and NMAS is already present in the workstation, then do not specify X_PRIMARYSTORE value in command line

You can create a new response file or edit one from a previous installation. During the installation, the responsefile.ini is created in the <WindowsVolume>\NSLFiles folder.

IMPORTANT:Non-English users must first run MSI with transform file and then run the update sequentially.
