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.
Procedure
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 key_ring_file_path_and_name -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 key_ring_file_path_and_name -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 admin installc.exe
input response_file_path_and_name -keyring key_ring_file_path_and_name -password password -acceptLicense
- On Windows as non-admin userinstc.exe
input response_file_path_and_name -keyring key_ring_file_path_and_name -password password -acceptLicense
- On other platforms, use install input response_file_path_and_name -keyring key_ring_file_path_and_name -password password -acceptLicense
