Installing agentless adapters

The UNIX and Linux adapter and the LDAP adapter are the two agentless adapters that are bundled with the IBM Verify Identity Governance version 6.0.2. The adapters must be installed on the IBM® Security Directory Integrator. IBM Verify Identity Governance version 6.0.2 supports IBM Security Directory Integrator versions 7.2. You can install the adapters interactively or silently.

Before you begin

You must install the following components for the adapter to function correctly:
  1. IBM Security Directory Integrator version 7.2
  2. The Dispatcher
  3. The UNIX and Linux® adapter
Note: The LDAP adapter requires the Dispatcher only.

About this task

You can install the Dispatcher and the UNIX and Linux adapter, or the LDAP adapter interactively or silently. The Dispatcher must be installed on Security Directory Integrator before you install the UNIX and Linux adapter.

Procedure

  1. To install the Dispatcher interactively, run these commands:
    1. For Windows operating systems, type:
      cd \download\adapters
      Then type the following text as a single command:
      ITDI_HOME\jvm\jre\bin\java.exe -jar DispatcherInstall_70.jar
    2. For UNIX and Linux operating systems, type:
      cd /download/adapters
      Then type the following text as a single command:
      ITDI_HOME/jvm/jre/bin/java -jar DispatcherInstall_70.jar
  2. To install the Dispatcher silently, run these commands:
    1. For Windows operating systems, type:
      cd \download\adapters
      To install the Dispatcher in silent mode with the default settings, run the command:
      ITDI_HOME\jvm\jre\bin\java.exe -jar DispatcherInstall.jar -i silent
      To install the Dispatcher in silent mode and with one or more custom settings, use the -D parameter.
      For example:
      ITDI_HOME\jvm\jre\bin\java.exe -jar DispatcherInstall.jar -i silent
      -DUSER_INSTALL_DIR="C:\Program Files\IBM\TDI\V7.2"
      -DUSER_SELECTED_SOLDIR="C:\Program Files\IBM\TDI\V7.2\timsol"
      -DUSER_INPUT_PORTNUMBER=1099
      -DUSER_DISPATCHER_SERVICE_NAME="ISIM Adapters"
      Where:
      -DUSER_INSTALL_DIR
      Overrides the default Security Directory Integrator installation path.
      -DUSER_SELECTED_SOLDIR
      Overrides the default adapters solutions directory.
      -DUSER_INPUT_RMI_PORTNUMBER
      Overrides the default RMI port number on which the dispatcher listens.
      -DUSER_DISPATCHER_SERVICE_NAME
      Specifies the name of the Dispatcher service on the Windows operating system.
    2. For UNIX and Linux operating systems, type:
      cd /download/adapters
      To install the Dispatcher in silent mode with the default settings, run the command:
      ITDI_HOME\jvm\jre\bin\java -jar DispatcherInstall.jar -i silent
      To install the Dispatcher in silent mode and with one or more custom settings, use the -D parameter.
      For example:
      ITDI_HOME/jvm/jre/bin/java -jar DispatcherInstall.jar -i silent
      -DUSER_INSTALL_DIR="/opt/IBM/TDI/V7.2"
      -DUSER_SELECTED_SOLDIR="/opt/IBM/TDI/V7.2/timsol"
      -DUSER_INPUT_PORTNUMBER=1099
      -DUSER_DISPATCHER_SERVICE_NAME="ISIM Adapters"
      Where:
      -DUSER_INSTALL_DIR
      Overrides the default Security Directory Integrator installation path.
      -DUSER_SELECTED_SOLDIR
      Overrides the default adapters solutions directory.
      -DUSER_INPUT_RMI_PORTNUMBER
      Overrides the default RMI port number on which the dispatcher listens.
      -DUSER_DISPATCHER_SERVICE_NAME
      Specifies the name of the Dispatcher service on the Windows operating system.
  3. To install the UNIX and Linux adapter interactively, run these commands:
    1. For Windows operating systems, type:
      cd \download\adapters
      Then type the following text as a single command:
      ITDI_HOME\jvm\jre\bin\java.exe -jar PosixAdapterInstall_70.jar
    2. For UNIX and Linux operating systems, type:
      cd /download/adapters
      Then type the following text as a single command:
      ITDI_HOME\jvm\jre\bin\java.exe -jar PosixAdapterInstall_70.jar
  4. To install the UNIX and Linux adapter, or the LDAP adapter, in silent mode, run these commands:
    1. For Windows operating systems, type:
      cd \download\adapters
      To install the adapter in silent mode with the default settings, issue the command:
      ITDI_HOME\jvm\jre\bin\java.exe -jar PosixAdapterInstall_70.jar -i silent
      To install the adapter in silent mode and changing default settings, use the -D parameter.
      For example:
      ITDI_HOME\jvm\jre\bin\java.exe -jar PosixAdapterInstall_70.jar -i silent
       -DUSER_INSTALL_DIR="C:\Program Files\IBM\TDI\V7.2"
      Where
      -DUSER_INSTALL_DIR
      Overrides the default Security Directory Integrator installation path.
    2. For UNIX and Linux operating systems, type:
      cd /download/adapters
      To install the adapter in silent mode with the default settings, issue the command:
      ITDI_HOME/jvm/jre/bin/java -jar PosixAdapterInstall_70.jar -i silent 
      To install the adapter in silent mode and changing default settings, use the -D parameter.
      For example:
      ITDI_HOME/jvm/jre/bin/java -jar PosixAdapterInstall_70.jar -i silent
       -DUSER_INSTALL_DIR="/opt/IBM/TDI/V7.2"
      
      Where
      -DUSER_INSTALL_DIR
      Overrides the default Security Directory Integrator installation path.
