Creating a keyring

After using the Installation Manager to record a response file to install WebSphere® eXtreme Scale product offerings, you can choose to create a keyring file. If you are using a remote repository that requires authentication, then you can create a keyring for installation.

1. From a command line, change to the Eclipse subdirectory in the directory where you installed Installation Manager.
2. Start Installation Manager from the command line using the -record option.
   For example:

   • Administrator or non-administrator:

     IBMIM.exe -skipInstall "C:\temp\imRegistry" 
       -keyring C:\IM\im.keyring 
       -record C:\temp\keyring_response_file.xml

   • Administrator:

     ./IBMIM -skipInstall /var/temp/imRegistry 
       -keyring /var/IM/im.keyring 
       -record /var/temp/keyring_response_file.xml

   • Non-administrator:

     ./IBMIM -skipInstall user_home/var/temp/imRegistry 
       -keyring user_home/var/IM/im.keyring 
       -record user_home/var/temp/keyring_response_file.xml

3. When a window opens that requests your credentials for the authenticated remote repository, enter the correct credentials and save them.
4. Click File > Exit to close Installation Manager.
