Access Manager amconfig Script

The amconfig script reads the silent configuration input file (amsamplesilent or a copy) and then calls other scripts in silent mode, as needed, to perform the requested operation.

To set configuration variables, copy and rename the amsamplesilent file. Then, set the variables in the file for the operation you want to perform.

To run the amconfig script, use this syntax:

amconfig -s input-file

where:

-s runs amconfig in silent mode.

To run amconfig.bat, either double click on the file or execute the file from the command prompt. The amconfig.bat does not accept any command-line parameters like the amconfig script.

The input-file is the silent configuration input file that contains the configuration variables for the operation you want to perform. For more information, see Access Manager amsamplesilent File Configuration Variables.

Several considerations for running the amconfig script are:

• You must be running as superuser (root).

• Specify the full path to the amsamplesilent file (or copy of the file). For example:

  # cd /opt/SUNWam/bin 
  # ./amconfig -s ./amsamplesilent

  or

  # ./amconfig -s /opt/SUNWam/bin/amsamplesilent

On Windows systems, to configure Access Manager, run amconfig.bat with AMConfigurator.properties. These files are installed in the javaes-install-dir\identity\setup directory, where javaes-install-dir is the Java ES 5 installation directory. The default value is C:\Program Files\Sun\JavaES5.

To run amconfig.bat, double click on the file or execute the file from the Windows command prompt.

Unsupported Scripts

In the Access Manager 7.1 release, the following scripts are not supported:

• amserver with the create argument

• amserver.instance

Also, by default amserver start starts only the authentication amsecuridd and amunixd helpers. The amsecuridd helper is available only on the Solaris OS SPARC platform.
