You can silently install from an authenticated repository;
however, authenticated repositories need the appropriate credentials
for access.
Before you begin
You must have Installation Manager installed to install a
software package from an authenticated repository.
About this task
Installation Manager uses the Eclipse infrastructure to save
credentials in a file called a key ring file. While the contents of
the key ring file are encrypted, you can provide an additional level
of security by specifying a password to open the key ring file. For
additional information on key ring files, refer to the Eclipse workbench
user's guide available from www.eclipse.org.
To access authenticated
repositories in silent mode, complete the following steps:
- Start Installation Manager in user interface mode and specify
the following command-line parameters: -keyring <file>
[-password <password>]. For example, installc
-keyring c:\my_directory\im.keyring
- When you use Installation Manager in wizard mode and access
a protected repository, a window opens where you can enter your credentials.
Enter the correct credentials and then save them. Ensure that the Save
password check box is selected. The credentials
are saved into the specified key ring file.
- From the eclipse directory in the location you installed
Installation Manager in silent mode and specify the following command
line parameter: -keyring <file> [-password <password>].
During silent install, the credentials for the protected repository
are retrieved from the key ring file specified in the command line.
- On a command line, enter the appropriate command:
- On Windows as admininstallc.exe
--launcher.ini silent-install -input <input file path and name>
-keyring <key ring file path and name> -password <password>
- On Windows as non-adminuserinstc.exe
--launcher.ini user-silent-install -input <input file path and
name> -keyring <key ring file path and name> -password <password>
- On other platforms, use install --launcher.ini
silent-install -input <input file path and name> -keyring <key
ring file path and name> -password <password>
