CA EEM Getting Started › Installing on Windows › Server Installation Parameters

Server Installation Parameters

While installing CA EEM on Windows, you must collect information on the following command line parameters:

• -eiampath

  Specifies the path where the CA EEM Server will be installed. The default is C:\Program Files\CA\SharedComponents\Embedded IAM.

• -etdirpath [path]

  Specifies the path where CA Directory will be installed. The default is C:\Program Files\CA\Directory.

• -igpath [path]

  Specifies the path where iGateway will be installed. The default is C:\Program Files\CA\SharedComponents\iTechnology.

• -backupdir

  Specifies the location where the data from the existing installation is backed up.

• -capkiinstalldir

  Specifies the installation folder path for the CAPKI module. The default is C:\Program Files\CA\SC\CAPKI.

• -javahome [directory]

  Sets the JAVA_HOME variable to [directory] when calling the iGateway installer. The CA EEM installer prompts you to set the variable even if it already set. This parameter does not have a default value.

  Note: If you want to install CA EEM without java, you must set javahome to none.

CA EEM uses the following parameters during CA Directory installation. You can configure the parameters based on your needs.

Important! Before customizing the default port numbers ensure that no other services are configured to use the same ports.

• -dxadminport

  Specifies the port on which DXadmind listens for requests from DXmanager. This port is used for LDAP communication between DXadmind and DXmanager. DXadmind is a background process that runs on each host that contains a DSA. DXmanager uses DXadmind to communicate with the DSAs.

  Default: 2123

• -dsaport

  Specifies the port that the dsa uses to listen to any requests directed at it.

  Default: 509

• -ssldport

  Specifies the port that the CA Directory uses to listen to the SSLD server. The SSLD server is a background process that handles SSL and TLS authentication, encryption, and decryption for CA Directory.

  Default: 21847

• -routerport

  Specifies the port that the dsa uses to connect to the router dsa. A router DSA has no local data and no datastore. It can only route traffic to other DSAs.

  Default: 1684

• -dxdbsize

  Specifies the maximum size of the datastore for CA EEM.

  Default: 500 MB

• -dxuser

  Specifies a non-dsa user who can install, administer, and uninstall CA Directory. The dxuser can be a local system user or a network user.

  Note: If you have installed CA Directory using a local system user as the dxuser, then during uninstallation that local system user may be deleted. So, if you are using a local system user as a dxuser to install CA Directory, ensure that the user is not setup to run any other programs.

Note: On a computer with Microsoft Windows Server 2003, the maximum length of the string that you can use at the command prompt is 8,191 characters. With Microsoft Windows 2000, the maximum length of the string that you can use at the command prompt is 2,047 characters. For more information about InstallShield command length, see the Release Notes.
