Getting started
This topic summarize how to use each of the sections in
this book. You will learn how to plan the installation, complete the
installation, plan the configuration, and complete the configuration.
Planning the installation
Before installing Tivoli® Federated Identity Manager,
plan your environment and understand the product requirements.
Installing federated provisioning
Installing federated provisioning requires
deploying prerequisite
software. After installing the prerequisites, you can install the
WS-Provisioning runtime component.
Installing the management console
The management console is often installed on the same computer
as the management service and runtime. You can also install the console
on a separate computer.
Installing the IBM Support Assistant
IBM® Support Assistant
Lite is embedded in Tivoli Federated Identity Manager.
You can install it to provide access to support-related information
and to serviceability tools for problem determination.
Using silent mode installation Tivoli Federated Identity Manager can
be installed on a silent mode using a response file. You can install
several features at the same time on the same server or individual
features on separate servers by using a response file. This topic
provides procedures for the silent installation mode.
Upgrading to version 6.2.2
The process for upgrading from a previous version of Tivoli Federated Identity Manager can vary. It depends
on whether your existing environment had an existing or an embedded
version of WebSphere® Application Server.
tfimcfg reference
Use the tfimcfg command to configure LDAP
settings for the Integrated Solutions Console installation and to
configure WebSEAL as a Point of Contact server.
Configuring user registry for embedded WebSphere
If you installed the embedded version of WebSphere Application Server, the federated repository
was configured as your user registry. To use a different registry,
you must modify the WebSphere Application Server settings.
Reconfiguring the runtime when Tivoli Access Manager changes
If you configure Tivoli Access Manager multiple
times, your certificate does not match the certificate knowledge in
the policy server. You must remove files to clear the certificate
settings before you can successfully configure the runtime again.
Installing as a user other than root or administrator
If you install Tivoli Federated Identity Manager as
a user other than root or Administrator, clean the /tmp directory.
When you install the Web plug-in components, you must manually modify
some environment variables on the system where the plug-in is installed.
Running Tivoli Federated Identity Manager as a non-root user Tivoli Federated Identity Manager can
run as a non-root user. You must configure UNIX or Linux systems
for this functionality to work. These configuration steps are not
required for Windows systems.
The Installing
topics explain how to install the Tivoli Federated Identity Manager
components.
