Run an Unattended Installation

You should have completed an initial SAML Affiliate Agent installation and, if necessary, modified the nete-af-installer.properties file. Now, you can use the file to run subsequent SAML Affiliate Agent installations.

To run an unattended installation

1. From a system where the SAML Affiliate Agent is already installed, copy the following files to a local directory.
   1. nete-af-version-win32.exe (Windows executable) or nete-af-version-operating_system.bin (UNIX binary) from the SiteMinder DVD or from where it resides on your system
   2. nete-af-installer.properties file from affiliate_agent_home
2. Place these files on your local system.
3. Open a console window and navigate to the directory where you copied the files.
4. Run the Agent executable with the -f and -i silent options, as follows:

   agent_executable -f properties_file -i silent

   Assuming that you run the installation from the directory where the executable and properties file are located, the command would be:

   Windows:

   nete-af-version-win32.exe -f nete-af-installer.properties - i silent

   Solaris:

   ./nete-af-version-sol.bin -f nete-af-installer.properties -i silent

   Linux 2.1:

   ./nete-af-version-linux.bin -f nete-af-installer.properties -i silent

   Linux 3.0:

   ./nete-af-version-rhel30.bin -f nete-af-installer.properties -i silent

   Note: If you are not running the command from the directory with the two files, specify the full path to each file. For Windows, if there are spaces in the directory paths, enclose the entire path between quotation marks.

   When the installation is complete, you return to the command prompt.

5. Check to see if the installation completed successfully by looking in the CA_SiteMinder_SAML_Affiliate_Agent _vversion_InstallLog.log file, located in the saml_affiliate_agent_home/install_config_info directory. This log file contains the results of the installation.
