Perimeter Server Silent Install/Upgrade Example

Edit online

In this scenario, assume that the user wants to build an appropriate installer.properties file to silently install/upgrade the More Secure Perimeter Server on Linux in the directory /data/PSms.

Additionally, the user wants to build the installer.properties file on a Windows platform to be used to install/upgrade PS silently on Linux.

Building installer.properties for Perimeter Server

In a CMD prompt, navigate to the directory where the SSP Perimeter Server installer is located (for example, c:\download\PSms).
Enter:
```
remote_perimeter_server\PS.V6010.Win_X64.exe
```
Note:
The installer.properties file, built using InstallAnywhere, is not sufficient for Perimeter Server silent installs. PS builds its own properties file (see below).
Enter appropriate values for the installation. Ensure that this is a fresh install and not an upgrade so that all required parameters are considered.

Once the installation is complete, SSP_PServer_install.properties will be built in the directory where Perimeter Server was installed.

Note: To specify SSP Engine Host name or IP Address add:

REMOTE_ADDR_RESPONSE_UX to silently install the More Secure Perimeter Server in Linux environment
REMOTE_ADDR_RESPONSE to silently install the More Secure Perimeter Server in Windows environment

      NETWORK_ZONE_2=
      NETWORK_ZONE_BOOLEAN_1=0
      NETWORK_ZONE_BOOLEAN_2=1

Copy SSP_PServer_install.properties to installer.properties

Because the response file built by InstallAnywhere is inadequate for silent install of PS, PS builds its own properties file which can be used to silently install PS.

Edit installer.properties files

Add as the first line:

INSTALLER_UI=silent

Change USER_INSTALL_DIR
```
USER_INSTALL_DIR=/data/PSms
```
For a Windows installation (or upgrade) use double backslashes (\\).

Change INSTALL_DIR

INSTALL_DIR=/data/PSms

For a Windows installation (or upgrade) use double backslashes (\\).

Note:

If a less-secure Perimeter Server is desired, change:


      REVERSE_CONNECT=false
      REMOTE_ADDR=
      REMOTE_PORT=
      NETWORK_ZONE_1=Perimeter Server is in less-secure
          zone
      NETWORK_ZONE_BOOLEAN_1=1
      NETWORK_ZONE_BOOLEAN_2=0
