  2. Run the following script:

    /opt/novell/sentinel/setup/configure.sh

  3. Specify the number for the language you want to use for the installation.

    The end user license agreement is displayed in the selected language.

  4. Press the Spacebar to read through the license agreement.

  5. Enter yes or y to accept the license agreement and continue with the installation.

    For FIPS mode:

    /opt/novell/sentinel/jdk/jre/bin/keytool -list -keystore/etc/opt/novell/sentinel/config/.activemqkeystore.jks

    For Non-FIPS mode:

    /opt/novell/sentinel/jdk/jre/bin/keytool -list -keystore/etc/opt/novell/sentinel/config/nonfips_backup/.activemqkeystore.jks

    Compare the certificate output with the Sentinel server certificate displayed in Step 7.

    NOTE:If the certificate does not match, the installation stops. Run the installation setup again and check the certificates.
