After you have installed the Policy Server on one system, you can reinstall it or install it on another system using an unattended installation mode. An unattended installation lets you install or uninstall the Policy Server without user interaction.
The installer provides a properties template (nete–ps–installer.properties) file that lets you pre–define installation variables. The default parameters, passwords, and paths in this file reflect the information you entered during the initial Policy Server installation.
In this file, you can either store encrypted or plain text passwords. If you are using encrypted passwords, for example, a shared secret or SiteMinder super user password, use the same values entered during the initial Policy Server installation. These passwords are encrypted in the file and cannot be modified. However, you can use plain text passwords by modifying the file.
The nete-ps-installer properties file is located in the siteminder_home\install_config_info directory.
Specifies the Policy Server installation path.
To run the installer in the unattended installation mode
Note: To reinstall the Policy Server on the same system, copy these files to C:\Temp. To install the Policy Server on another system, copy these files to C:\Temp on that system.
nete-ps-6.0-sp6-win32.exe -f nete-ps-installer.properties -i silent
Important! Before running a SiteMinder utility or executable on Windows Server 2008, open the command line window with Administrator permissions. Open the command line window this way, even if your account has Administrator privileges. For more information, see the release notes for your SiteMinder component.
If the nete-ps-installer properties file is not in the same directory as the installation program, enclose the argument with double–quotes if the argument contains spaces.
Example: nete-ps-6.0-sp6-win32.exe -f "C:\Program Files\Netegrity\siteminder\install_config_info\nete-ps-installer.properties" -i silent
Specifies that the installer run in the unattended installation mode.
The unattended installation begins. When installing the Policy Server, the installer uses the parameters specified in the nete-ps-installer properties file.
To stop the installation manually, use the Windows Task Manager and stop the nete-ps-6.0-sp6-win.exe and ps_install.exe processes.
To verify if the unattended installation completed successfully, see the CA_SiteMinder_Policy_Server_v6.0_SP6_InstallLog.log file in the siteminder_home\install_config_info directory. This log file contains the results of the installation.
