CA EEM Getting Started › Installing on Linux and UNIX › Server Installation Script Parameters

Server Installation Script Parameters

While installing CA EEM, you must collect information on the following command line parameters that the script prompts for during the installation.

The script accepts the following command line parameters:

• -backupdir

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

• -capkiinstalldir

  Specifies the installation folder path for the CAPKI module.

  Default: /opt/CA/SharedComponents/capki

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.

• -eiamadminpw [password]

  Sets the EiamAdmin password to [password]

• -eiampath

  Sets the path where the CA EEM Server will be installed. The default is /opt/CA/SharedComponents/EmbeddedIAM.

• -etdirpath [path]

  Sets the path where CA Directory will be installed.

• -igpath [directory]

  Sets the iGateway path. The path must be a fully qualified path, such as -iisystem. The default is /opt/CA/SharedComponents/iTechnology.

• -javahome [directory]

  Sets the JAVA_HOME. This parameter defaults to the contents of the JAVA_HOME environment variable and is prompted for only if $JAVA_HOME is not set.

  Note: If you want to install CA EEM without java, you must set javahome=none. This is not applicable to HP-UX.

• -logfile [filename]

  Causes the installer to write log information to [filename], defaults to /tmp/eiam-install.log.

• -silent

  Runs the installation in silent mode. If a required parameter is not specified on the command line, the installation aborts and prints an appropriate message. It does not make any changes to the system unless all needed parameters are specified.

• -tempdir [directory]

  Specifies the directory to use for temp file storage. Default is /tmp/eiam_temp. This must be a fully-qualified path, and must be in its own subdirectory. This script uses rm -rf to remove the directory you specify hereupon script completion.
