Install and Configure CA SiteMinder® SPS Silently

After you have installed and configured CA SiteMinder® SPS for the first-time, you can reinstall it unattended at a later time or install another instance of CA SiteMinder® SPS unattended using saved configuration data.

After installation, CA SiteMinder® SPS creates a sample properties file in the sps-home/install_config_info folder. After configuration, the same properties file is updated with additional properties for configuration. This properties file is used for subsequent silent installation and configuration with customized values.

Follow these steps:

1. Open a command window.
2. Navigate to the folder where you installed the properties file. The default is sps-home/install_config_info.
3. Open the command prompt.
4. Perform one or both the following steps:
   1. Execute the following command to perform a silent installation:

      ca-proxy-12.5-operating_system -i silent -f ca-sps-installer.properties
      

      operating_system

      Defines the operating system, either win32, sol, or rhel30.

   2. Execute the following command to perform a silent configuration:

      ca-sps-config -i silent -f ca-sps-installer.properties
      

   The installation or configuration proceeds without further user interaction.
