Launching the appropriate installer
The installation is performed by using a shell script on the Unix platforms, or a Visual Basic Script on Windows™.
Platforms
The following scripts are provided to install IBM® Security Verify Directory Integrator:
Script Name | Platform | Description |
---|---|---|
install_server.sh | AIX, Linux™ | Used to install the runtime server. |
install_ce.sh | Linux™, MacOS | Used to install the configuration editor, examples, documentation, and the runtime server. |
install_server.vbs | Windows™ | Used to install the runtime server. |
install_ce.vbs | Windows™ | Used to install the configuration editor, examples, documentation, and the runtime server. |
Each script takes a single parameter, which is the name of the directory into which the software is to be installed. The specified directory must not exist and will be automatically created as a part of the installation process.
For example, to install the runtime server into the /opt/IBM/SVDI/V10
directory the following command would be used.
install_server.sh /opt/IBM/SVDI/V10
Note: The installation program uses default values for the ports on which the server listens. These ports can be modified within the solution.properties
or global.properties
file if nondefault ports
are required.
If the Windows™ installation scripts are run without any parameters, you are prompted for the required parameters during the installation process. This allows the installation scripts to be run directly from the Windows™ File Explorer by double-clicking the file name.
Note: The Window™ system, under certain situations, blocks the execution of the installation VB scripts. In order to allow the Windows™ system to run the blocked VB script, the properties of the script can be opened by using
Windows™ File Explorer, and the Unblock
property for the file can be enabled. Further information can be found in the corresponding troubleshooting page.
