About this task

The installp installation program installs IBM Verify Directory on an AIX system. If a supported version of DB2® is installed on the system, the installation process updates the ldapdb.properties file with the DB2 path name and version.

Procedure

  1. Log in as the root user.
  2. Access the command prompt.
  3. Change the current working directory to the directory where the IBM Verify Directory installable components are extracted and stored.

    The following options are available to you:
    • To accept the license agreement.
    • To decline the license agreement and exit the installation.
    • Go back to the parent folder:

    On accepting the terms in the license agreement, a license folder is created in the IBM Verify Directory installation location. The license folder contains IBM Verify Directory license files in all supported languages.
    Important: Do not modify or delete the license files in the license folder.
  6. Determine which IBM Verify Directory packages that you want to install. 
    cd images
installp -ld . | grep idsldap
