Installing Desktop Password Reset Assistant with the graphical user interface

You might install the Desktop Password Reset Assistant by using the graphical user interface.

Before you begin

Before you start, you must know the IP address and port number to communicate to the Identity server. You also must have a certificate authority (CA) installed on the desktop to protect the communication between the desktop and the Identity server.

About this task

The Desktop Password Reset Assistant installation program is available for download from the IBM® website. Contact your IBM account representative for the web address and download instructions.

To install the Desktop Password Reset Assistant, complete the following steps.

Procedure

  1. Download the Desktop Password Reset Assistant compressed file from the IBM website.
  2. Extract the contents of the compressed file into a temporary directory and change location to that directory.
    The content of the compressed file includes several files.
    • An install.htm file that describes how to download and run the adapter installer to unpack the encrypted adapter (.enc) file.
    • The compressed, encrypted .enc adapter file.
  3. Open the install.htm file and use its instructions to run the adapter installer, which decrypts the files that you extracted and provides the License Agreement window.
  4. In the License Agreement window, review the license agreement. To decrypt the installer package, the installation program requires that you accept the license agreement. If you do, select Accept and click Next.
  5. Start the installation program by using the SetupDPRA.exe file in the temporary directory. For example, select Run from the Start menu, and type C:\TEMP\SetupDPRA.exe in the Open field.
  6. In the Welcome window, click Next.
  7. Enter the IBM Security Verify Governance Identity Manager server host name or IP address and IBM Security Verify Governance Identity Manager SSL port number, click Next.
  8. Select a certificate file from your Identity server, if one exists, and click Next.
    Note: If you do not install the CA during the installation of the Desktop Password Reset Assistant, you can install it by using the manual instructions. See Installing the CA Certificate for the SSL connection.
  9. In the Install Summary window, review the installation settings. Click Back to change any of these settings. Otherwise, click Next to begin the installation.
  10. In the Install Completed window, click Finish to exit the program.
