To run a silent installation of Identity Manager, create a properties files with the parameters required to complete the installation. The Identity Manager media includes a sample properties file:
Linux: /products/IDM/linux/setup/silent.properties
Windows: \products\IDM\windows\setup\silent.properties
To perform a silent installation:
In the installation directory, create a properties file or edit the sample silent.properties file.
In a text editor, specify the following parameters in the file:
Specifies the edition of the Identity Manager server. For example, Advanced Edition or Standard Edition. The installation program uses this information to configure the specified Identity Manager edition.
Specifies the LDAP distinguished name of the Administrator account for the Identity Vault. For example, c=admin,o=netiq. The installation program uses this account to connect the Identity Manager engine to the Identity Vault.
You might need to add this parameter to the sample silent.properties file.
Specifies the password for the Administrator account for the Identity Vault. For example, netiq123. You might need to add this parameter to the sample silent.properties file.
If you do not want to include the password value in the file, leave the field empty. The installation program then reads the value from the EDIR_USER_PASSWORD environment variable. Ensure that you have an environment variable for EDIR_USER_PASSWORD.
Specifies whether you want to install the Identity Manager server and drivers.
Specifies whether you want to install the 32-bit Remote Loader service and drivers. You can install both 32-bit and 64-bit versions on the same server.
Specifies whether you want to install the Fan-Out agent for the JDBC driver.
Specifies whether you want to install the 64-bit Remote Loader service and drivers. You can install both 32-bit and 64-bit versions on the same server.

Specifies whether you want to install iManager plug-ins.
Specifies whether you want to install the Utilities and system components for the Remote Loader.
Specifies whether you want to install the .NET Remote Loader service and drivers on the Windows server.
Specifies the path to the nds.conf file, which is the configuration file for the Identity Vault. For example, /etc/opt/novell/eDirectory/nds.conf.
If you have multiple instances of the Identity Vault, specify the appropriate value for each instance.
Specifies the IP address for the Identity Vault.
If you have multiple instances of the Identity Vault, specify the address for each instance.
Specifies the port number of the Identity Vault.
If you have multiple instances of the Identity Vault, specify the port for each instance.
To run the silent installation, issue one of the following commands from the directory for the properties file:
Linux: install.bin -i silent -f filename.properties
Windows: install.exe -i silent -f filename.properties
(Optional) For default installed locations, see /tmp/idmInstall.log.
