Use the default response file
Use the default response file to specify silent installation parameters for the environment.
Encrypt the administrator passwords. For more information about encrypting passwords, see the Create encrypted passwords for a response file topic.
Silent installation uses the parameters in a response file to install the same IBM Connections profile on multiple computers.
If we are silently installing IBM Connections as a non-root user in an AIX or Linux environment, specify that parameter in the silent-install.ini file.
- Navigate to the connections_root directory, and open the LC.rsp response file.
- Specify the installation parameters. See Default response file topic.
- Add the encrypted passwords to the relevant elements of the response file. The following example shows the elements for the Activities passwords:
<data key='user.activities.adminuser.password' value='encrypted_password'/>
<data key='user.activities.dbUserPassword value='encrypted_password'/>
where encrypted_password is the password after you encrypted it.
- Change the default WebSphere Application Server administrator name from wasadmin if your administrator name is different.
- Save the changes.
- If we are performing the silent installation as a non-root user on AIX or Linux systems:
- Open the silent-install.ini file for editing from the following location:
- AIX: IBM_Connections_set-up/IBM_Connections_install/IM/aix/silent-install.ini
- Linux: IBM_Connections_set-up/IBM_Connections_install/IM/linux/silent-install.ini
- Linux on System z : IBM_Connections_set-up/IBM_Connections_install_s390/IM/zlinux/silent-install.ini
where IBM_Connections_set-up is the Connections set-up directory or installation media.
- In the second line of the file, change admin to nonadmin.
- Save and close the file.
