Identity Manager provides a wizard-based installation method for installing and configuring the following Identity Manager components:
Identity Manager Server
Identity Applications
Identity Reporting
The installer allows you to install and configure the components interactively or silently. The installation process allows you to specify the values for the installed components.
The installation process also creates a repository of dependent components such as JRE, Apache Tomcat, PostgreSQL, ActiveMQ, and OpenSSL on your filesystem. When you install multiple Identity Manager components on the same computer, the installation process refers to this repository instead of creating multiple copies of these components for each Identity Manager component that requires them. For example, Identity Applications and Identity Reporting use the same Tomcat when they are installed on the same computer.
Identity Manager supports interactive and silent installation methods. A silent (non-interactive) installation does not display a user interface or ask the user any questions.
Requires you to select the components that you want to install. Based on your selection, the components are installed.
You are required to specify the values for the components you want to install in the properties file. When the installation program is invoked, it reads these values from the properties file. You can use the same properties file to run silent installation on different computers in your environment.
The following table describes the components that are installed with the installation options provided by the installation program.
Table 3-1 Installation Options
|
Installation Option |
Components Installed |
|---|---|
|
Identity Manager Engine |
Installs the Identity Vault, Identity Manager Engine, Remote Loader Service, iManager Web Administrator and Identity plug-ins, Fanout Agent, and drivers. |
|
Identity Applications |
Installs Identity Applications, One SSO Provider (OSP), User Application driver, Roles and Resource Service Driver (RRSD), PostgreSQL, and Self Service Password Reset (SSPR). NOTE:If you want to install SSPR on a different server than Identity Applications, use the install.exe available at <iso mounted location>\common\sspr\ directory. |
|
Identity Reporting |
Installs Identity Reporting, OSP, PostgreSQL, Data Collection Service Driver (DCS), and Managed System Gateway (MSG) driver. |
You can configure the Identity Manager components in the following ways:
Typical
Custom
A typical configuration assumes default settings for most of the configuration options. In a custom configuration, you can specify custom values according to your requirement. You can configure most of the settings by using this option.
Many of the Identity Manager components require you to specify a password during the configuration phase. For faster configuration, you can instruct the process to apply the same password to all the configuration parameters.
The password must be a minimum of six characters. Do not use words that can be found in the dictionary. Dictionary words are vulnerable to freely available password-cracking tools that often come with dictionary lists. If you must use dictionary words, try combining them with numerals and punctuation.
