Installing with IBM Installation Manager

Complete the steps to install IBM® Security Directory Server with the IBM Installation Manager.

1. On the IBM Installation Manager Start page, click Install.
2. On the Install Packages page, select the IBM Security Directory Server package for installation.
3. Click Next.
   IBM Installation Manager checks for the prerequisite packages on your computer.
4. If your computer does not meet the prerequisites check, the Validation Results page shows the prerequisites.
   1. To verify whether the prerequisite requirements are met after you install the prerequisite packages, click Recheck Status.
      For more information about the prerequisites, see Additional prerequisites.
   2. If all prerequisites are met, click Next.
5. Click I accept the terms in the license agreement, and click Next.
   The shared resources directory location is displayed.
6. Optional: Use the default path or specify a path in the Shared Resources Directory field. The shared resources directory is the directory where installation artifacts are stored so that they can be used by one or more product package groups. You can specify the shared resources directory only the first time that you install a package.
7. Click Next.
   The package group name and the default installation location are shown. The Create a new package group option is selected by default and only this option is supported for the installation of IBM Security Directory Server. A package group represents a directory in which packages share resources with other packages in the same group. A package group is assigned a name automatically.

   Restriction:

   IBM Security Directory Server can be installed only at the predefined location on the AIX® and Linux® systems. The path is specified by default in the Installation Directory field in IBM Installation Manager. Though this field is editable in IBM Installation Manager, if you change the path that is specified by default, you cannot click Next to proceed with the installation. You must revert to the default installation path for IBM Security Directory Server.

   For a list of the default installation locations on various operating systems, see Default installation locations.

   This restriction does not apply to Microsoft Windows operating systems. IBM Security Directory Server can be installed at any custom location on Microsoft Windows operating systems. Even if you select a custom installation location for IBM Security Directory Server, the idsinstinfo directory and the idsinstances.ldif file that it contains are always created on the partition that is specified by %SystemDrive%. If IBM Security Directory Server is installed on the E: drive and the operating system is on the C: drive, you might observe the following changes:

   • The idsinstinfo directory is created in the C: drive (C:\idsinstinfo), instead of in the E:\Program Files\IBM\ldap directory.
8. Click Next.
