IBM Tivoli Directory Server, Version 6.3

Options files for silent installation of servers and language packs

See the following sections for information about the silent installation options file for the servers, client only (from the client-only package), and language packs.

Server installation options file

The following text is in the server installation options file, InstallServer.txt, provided with Tivoli Directory Server:

#Sample response file for the Server/Client package
#(Lines beginning with # are comments)
# Be sure there are no blank lines in this file! 
# All lines that are not comments must be present; they cannot be commented out.
# Where indicated, values can be changed.
#
# The following 3 lines MUST be present, and NOT modified
-silent
-G createDirectoryResponse="yes"
-G replaceExistingResponse="yesToAll"
#
# install destination - this can be modified to install location 
-P product.installLocation="C:\Program Files\IBM\ldap\V6.3"
#
# Select the features to install. Note: if the server is selected, the 
# Client, JavaClient, and BaseServer will automatically be installed. If the
# ProxyServer is selected, the JavaClient, Client and BaseServer will 
#  automatically be installed.
# The coreqs will also be installed. For the server to be installed make
# sure that DB2 is already installed or that the active property is set 
# to true here in the file.
# To deselect a feature, set the field to false.
-P DB2Feature.active=true
-P BaseServerFeature.active=true
-P ServerFeature.active=true
-P ProxyServerFeature.active=true
-P JavaClientFeature.active=true
-P ClientFeature.active=true
-P WebadminFeature.active=true
-P GSKITFeature.active=true
-P AppSrvFeature.active=true
# Replace the following with a valid Userid for the Db2 administrator. 
# Used only if DB2 is being installed.
-W LdapInit.silentDB2Admin="db2admin"
# Replace the following with a valid password for the Db2 administrator. 
# Used only if DB2 is being installed.
-W LdapInit.silentDB2AdminPW="db2admin"
# This must be last line. Be sure no blank lines or carriage controls follow!

You can edit the following line to point to the desired target installation directory:

-P product.installLocation="C:\Program Files\IBM\ldap\V6.3"

Be sure that the installation location is not the same as the path where another version of the client is installed.

You can edit the features lines to disable a feature from being installed. For example, to indicate that you do not want to install the IBM Tivoli Directory Server Web Administration Tool, change

-P WebadminFeature.active=true

to

-P WebadminFeature.active=false

If you install DB2®, a Windows system user ID is created for the DB2 system ID. By default, this user ID is db2admin and the password is db2admin. If you want to use a different user ID or password, or both, you must modify them in the -W LdapInit.silentDB2Admin="db2admin" and -W LdapInit.silentDB2AdminPW="db2admin" lines.

Notes:
  1. This user ID must not be the user ID that will be used as the owner of the directory server instance.
  2. If you are not using an existing user ID, DB2 creates the user ID specified with the password specified. This is the preferred method.
  3. If you are creating a new user ID, be sure that the password meets the password requirements for your operating system. If your system has "Password must meet complexity requirements" enabled, be sure that the password you supply meets the complexity requirements. If it does not, installation will fail. See the Windows documentation for information about complexity requirements. .
  4. If you are using an existing Windows user ID, it must be a member of the Administrators group. In this case, be sure that the password you specify is correct. Otherwise, DB2 does not install correctly.
Note:
If you have any feature except the client, GSKit, or DB2 from the 6.0, 6.1 or 6.2 version, or the server from the 6.0, 6.1, or 6.2 version installed, you can install only the client. If this is the case, be sure to disable all other features by setting them to false.

Client installation options file

The following text is in the client installation options file, InstallClient.txt, provided with the client-only package:

# options file for silent install
# Use this file with the Client-only package
#(Lines beginning with # are comments)
# Be sure there are no blank lines in this file!
# All lines that are not comments must be present; they cannot be commented out.
# Where indicated, values can be changed.
#
# The following 3 lines MUST be present, and NOT modified
-silent
-G createDirectoryResponse="yes"
-G replaceExistingResponse="yesToAll"
#
# install destination - this can be modified to install location 
-P product.installLocation="C:\Program Files\IBM\ldap\V6.3"
# To deselect a feature, set the field to false
-P ClientFeature.active=true
-P GSKITFeature.active=true
# This must be last line. Be sure no blank lines or carriage controls follow!

You can change only the installation location in this file.

To change the installation location, change the following line to point to the desired target installation directory:

-P product.installLocation="C:\Program Files\IBM\ldap\V6.3"

Be sure that the installation location is not the same as the path where another version of the client is installed.

Language packs installation options file

The following text is in the language packs installation options file, InstallLP.txt, provided with Tivoli Directory Server:

# Sample of a response file for the Language pack Uninstall
# (Lines beginning with # are comments)
# Be sure there are no blank lines in this file!
#
# The following 3 lines MUST be present
-silent
-G createDirectoryResponse="yes"
-G replaceExistingResponse="yesToAll"
#
# Language Pack support file install destination - this can be modified to install location 
-P product.installLocation="C:\Program Files\IBM\LDAP\V6.3"
#
# Set the following entries to true to install a language feature 
# or keep it false to NOT install
#
-P GermanXlations.active=false
-P FrenchXlations.active=false
-P ItalianXlations.active=false
-P SpanishXlations.active=false
-P JapaneseXlations.active=false
-P KoreanXlations.active=false
-P BrazilianXlations.active=false
-P SChineseXlations.active=false
-P TChineseXlations.active=false
# This must be last line. Be sure no blank lines or carriage controls follow!

By default, no language packs are installed. To install the language pack for a language, edit the line for that language and change false to true. For example, to install the Japanese language pack, change

-P JapaneseXlations.active=false

to

-P JapaneseXlations.active=true
