Sun ONE Identity Server 6.0 Installation and Configuration Guide

Chapter 6
Installing Identity Server Console

When you install Identity Server Management and Policy Services, Identity Server Console is also installed by default. You need not install it again on the same host. However, you may install it independently on another host. This makes it possible for you view Identity Server and manage users and policies from a remote location.

In this chapter, you will find step-by-step instructions to install Sun ONE Identity Server Console. The chapter is organized under the following topics:

Before You Begin

The following issues must be resolved before you start the Installation program:

    2. To run the Installation wizard, in the directory that contains the Installation program, enter the following command:

    UNIX

    ./setup

    Windows

    setup.exe

    To run the Installation program from the command line, in the directory that contains the Installation program, enter the following command:

    UNIX

    ./setup -nosdisplay

    Windows

    setup -nodisplay

    Note

    The remaining steps describe the GUI version of the Installation program.
