The psunix installation package

Installing the psunix installation package

The psunix archive package contains the Unix Listener and other tools and files used to perform Bravura Security Fabric operations on Unix systems. There are versions for each type of supported Unix system. The packages are installed in the unix directory when you choose a complete Connector Pack installation, or select them as part of a custom installation.

To install the package on a Unix system:

  1. If you did not select the Unix Installation Packages when you installed Connector Pack, run setup from the main software installation to modify your instance.

    The setup program displays the Select an instance to configure page.

    1. Click Connector Pack 64-Bit.

    2. Click Modify.

    3. Choose Change.

      Ensure that the select 30798.png msi-icon icon is selected for Unix Installation Packages , and the appropriate packages, on the component selection page.

    Click Change, then complete the installation procedure.

  2. Copy the psunix-<os>.<cpu>.tar.gz file from the unix directory to a scratch directory, such as /tmp/, on the Unix server.

  3. Log into the Unix server with administrative privileges, and extract the files from the psunix archive. For example, type:

     cd /tmp 
 tar -zxvf psunix-linux-glibc-2.28.x64.tar.gz

Running the install.sh script

sh install.sh [-c <n>] [-ni] [-inf <path>/idmsetup.inf] [-inst <instancename>] [-rf <responsefile>] [-bd <dir>]
Table 1. psunix installer options

Option

Description

-h

Displays usage statement.

-v

Displays version.

-bd <dir>

Specifies a base directory (default /usr/local/psunix)

-c <comp>

Specifies the component to install. Required in non-interactive mode. Optional in interactive mode.

-inf

Specifies the path to the idmsetup.inf file. If omitted, you must enter communication key (or Master Key) and other information when prompted.

-inst

Specifies the instance name for location of the psunix files. If omitted, files are copied to the /usr/local/psunix/default instance. See Determining the psunix instance for more information about the instance location.

-ni

Installs in non-interactive mode.

-rf

Specifies the response file for non-interactive mode. If not specified the default is psunix-responsefile.cfg .



For the -c argument, the component is identified numerically where:

  1. Unix Listener

  2. Bravura Pass passwd transparent synchronization trigger

  3. Bravura Pass LDAP trasparent synchronization trigger

  4. Bravura Privilege local service (not supported in Bravura Security Fabric 8.2.x)

Installing interactively takes less preparation and allows you to specify settings during installation. Installing non-interactively allows you to install components unattended on many systems. You must edit the response file (psunix-responsefile.cfg) and the applicable configuration files before installing non-interactively.

Examples

  1. To start installation in interactive mode:

    sh install.sh

  2. To pre-select the Listener and use the idmsetup.inf from the Bravura Security Fabric installation to supply the communication key (or Master Key):

    sh install.sh -c 1 -inf ./idmsetup.inf

  3. To install the Listener in non-interactive mode:

    sh install.sh -c 1 -ni

  4. To install the Listener in non-interactive mode, using a response file named alt-response.cfg:

    sh install.sh -c 1 -ni -rf alt-response.cfg
