Installing silently from authenticated repositories with IBM® Installation Manager

You can silently install packages from an authenticated repository. However, you must provide the credentials to access protected repositories.

1. Installation Manager uses the Eclipse infrastructure to save credentials to a key ring file. To generate the key ring file, navigate to the tools folder in the following location:
   • C:\Program Files\IBM\InstallationManager\eclipse\tools
   • /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/tools
2. Run the following command:
   • imutilsc.exe saveCredential -url <Installation Repository> -userName <user_id> -userPassword <user_pass> -keyring im.keyring
   • imutilsc.sh saveCredential -url <Installation Repository> -userName <user_id> -userPassword <user_pass> -keyring im.keyring
3. After the key ring file is generated, run the silent installation command:
   • IBMIc.exe --launcher.ini silent-install.ini -input <response file path and name> -keyring <path to the keyring file> -log <log file path and name>
   • ./IBMIM --launcher.ini silent-install.ini -input <response file path and name> -keyring <path to the keyring file>-log <log file path and name>
