This procedure describes how to do a silent install. A silent install requires no interaction during the installation and can save you time, especially when you install on more than one system. Silent install is supported for Linux and Solaris.
Obtain the appropriate installation files listed in Table 2-2.
Log in and open a terminal session.
Locate the Identity Manager properties file, silent.properties, which is bundled with the installation files. If you are working from a CD, make a local copy of this file.
Edit silent.properties to supply your installation parameters and User Application configuration parameters.
See the silent.properties file for an example of each installation parameter. The installation parameters correspond to the installation parameters you set in the GUI or Console installation procedures.
See Table 7-1 for a description of each User Application configuration parameter. The User Application configuration parameters are the same ones you can set in the GUI or Console installation procedures or with the configupdate utility.
Launch the silent install as follows:
java -jar IdmUserApp.jar -i silent -f /yourdirectorypath/silent.properties
Type the full path to silent.properties if that file is in a different directory from the installer script. The script unpacks the necessary files to a temporary directory and launches the silent install.
