Install the DMZ Secure Proxy Server using the GUI

We can use the Installation Manager GUI to install the DMZ Secure Proxy Server for IBM WAS. Installing the DMZ Secure Proxy Server allows a secure proxy server profile to be created outside of the cell.

Install Installation Manager:

  1. Perform one of the following procedures:

    • To use the Installation Manager that is included with this product, perform the following actions:

      1. Obtain the necessary files from the physical media or the web.

        There are three basic options for obtaining and installing Installation Manager and the product.

        • Access the physical media, and use local installation

          You can access Installation Manager and the product repositories on the product media. We can install Installation Manager on the system and use it to install the product from the product repositories on the media.

        • Download the files from the Passport Advantage site, and use local installation

          Licensed customers can download Installation Manager as well as the necessary product repositories from the Passport Advantage site. We can then install Installation Manager on the system and use it to install the product from the repositories.

          Tip: See How to download WAS V8.0 from Passport Advantage Online for a list of the IBM WebSphere Application Server v8.0 installation images downloadable from the IBM Passport Advantage Online website and other information.

        • Download a file from the Installation Manager website, and use web-based installation

          We can download and unpack a compressed file containing Installation Manager from the IBM Installation Manager download website. We can then install Installation Manager on your local system and use it to install the product from the web-based repository located at 

          http://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.websphere.NDDMZ.v80

          This location does not contain a web page that you can access using a web browser. This is a remote web-based repository location that add to your Installation Manager preferences before the Installation Manager GUI can access the files in this repository to install the product.

      2. Change to the location containing the Installation Manager installation files, and run one of the following commands:

        Administrative installation:

        • install.exe
        • ./install

        Non-administrative installation:

        • userinst.exe
        • ./userinst

        Group-mode installation:

        ./groupinst

        Notes on group mode:

        • Group mode allows multiple users to use a single instance of IBM Installation Manager to manage software packages.
        • Group mode is not available on Windows operating systems.

        • If you do not install Installation Manager using group mode, you will not be able to use group mode to manage any of the products that you install later using this Installation Manager.

        • Make sure that you change the installation location from the default location in the current user's home directory to a location that is accessible by all users in the group.

        • Set up your groups, permissions, and environment variables as described in the Group mode road maps in the IBM Installation Manager v1.4 Information Center before installing in group mode.

        • For more information on using group mode, read the Group mode road maps in the IBM Installation Manager v1.4 Information Center.

        The installer opens an Install Packages window.

      4. Accept the terms in the license agreements, and click Next.

        The program creates the directory for your installation.

      5. Click Next.

      6. Review the summary information, and click Install.

        • If the installation is successful, the program displays a message indicating that installation is successful.

        http://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.websphere.NDDMZ.v80

        This location does not contain a web page that you can access using a web browser. This is a remote web-based repository location that add to your Installation Manager preferences before the Installation Manager GUI can access the files in this repository to install the product.

    • Delete the default target location and leaving an installation-directory field empty prevents you from continuing.
    • Do not use symbolic links as the destination directory.

      Symbolic links are not supported.

    • Do not use a semicolon in the directory name.

      The DMZ Secure Proxy Server cannot install properly if the target directory includes a semicolon.

      This option allows you to choose between a 32-bit and 64-bit IBM Runtime Environment for Java.

      Notes:

      • This option displays only if you are installing on a 64-bit system.
      • This does not apply to Solaris x86 64-bit systems.
