CA Identity Manager Connector Guides › Connector Xpress Guide › Installing Connector Xpress › Installation Prerequisites

Installation Prerequisites

The following are the prerequisites for installing Connector Xpress;

• CA Identity Manager Server
• CA Identity Manager Provisioning Server

Install Connector Xpress

You do not need to install Connector Xpress on the same computer as CA IAM Connector Server or any other server component, including the Provisioning Server.

Important! We recommend that you disable all antivirus software before installing CA IAM Connector Server, CA IAM Connector Server SDK, and Connector Xpress.

Follow these steps:

1. Locate the CA Identity Manager installation download or other media.
2. Extract the product files (ZIP or TAR).
3. Navigate to the following subfolder and double-click the setup file.

   Provisioning\ConnectorXpress
   

4. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation.

Install Connector Xpress Silently

Connector Xpress supports a silent mode of installation. To run a silent install, it is necessary to create a response file.

Follow these steps:

1. In a command window, navigate to where you extracted the Connector Xpress files, then to the following subfolder:

   Provisioning/ConnectorXpress
   

2. Do either of the following depending on whether you want to install the component as you create the response file, or whether you want to create a response file template to use with a silent install at a later time:
   • To create a response file and install the component at the same time, enter the following command and then run through the installation:

     setup -options-record install_response_file
     

   • To create a response file, but not install the component, enter the following command and then enter the required values in the template:

     setup -options-template install_response_file 
     

   Note: Use fully qualified path names when generating and running response files. For example, responsefile.txt is not valid but C:\responsefile.txt is valid.

3. Start the silent installation using the following command:

   setup -options install_response_file -silent
   

Uninstall Connector Xpress Silently

Connector Xpress supports a silent mode of uninstallation. To run a silent uninstall you must create a response file.

Follow these steps:

1. In a command window, navigate to the uninstall directory which is one of the following:
   • Windows

     C:\Program Files\CA\Identity Manager\Connector Xpress\_uninst
     

   • UNIX

     /opt/CA/IdentityManager/ConnectorXpress/_uninst
     

2. Do one of the following depending on whether you want to uninstall the component as you create the response file, or whether you want to create a response file template to use with a silent uninstall at a later time.
   • To create a response file and uninstall the component at the same time, enter the following command and then run through the uninstallation:

     uninstaller -options-record uninstall_response_file 
     

   • To create a response file, but not install the component, enter the following command and then enter the required values in the template:

     uninstaller -options-template uninstall_response_file 
     

   Note: Use fully qualified path names when generating and running response files. For example, responsefile.txt is not valid but C:\responsefile.txt is valid.

3. Start the silent installation using the following command:

   uninstaller -options uninstall_response_file -silent
