Before installing OSP, review the following considerations:
(Conditional) Even if you installed OSP with Identity Manager 4.5 or later, if you want to use OSP as your authentication service, you must install a separate instance of OSP for use with Identity Governance that is supported. For more information, see Section 2.4, Hardware and Software Requirements.
(Conditional) OSP requires trust certificates configured for secure communication for user authentication in a production environment. Depending on your Identity Governance solution, OSP might need to communicate with an identity service, a SAML provider, or one or more Advanced Authentication servers. For more information, see Section 3.2, Understanding the Keystore for the Identity Service.
OSP requires several generated symmetric keys along with public/private key pairs for signing, encryption, and TLS for use during normal operations to generate other key material. The installation program automatically creates the symmetric keys and key pairs and places them in the osp.pkcs12 file.
(Conditional) If you set up multiple instances of OSP for use in a high availability cluster, copy the osp.pkcs12 file from the installed location on the first server to the same location on the other member servers in the cluster. OSP must use the same keys on each member server in the cluster.
(Optional) If you want to enable auditing for OSP, you must configure the audit server to use TLS before beginning the OSP installation so that the OSP installer can connect to the audit server and retrieve the audit server’s certificate to add to the local keystore.
Use the following worksheet to gather the required information to successfully complete the OSP installation. You use the information that you gather with the guided installation, the console installation, and the silent installation. Select one of the installation methods to install OSP and use the worksheet so that you do not have to pause during the installation to find the required information.

The following procedure describes how to install OSP using the guided installation or the console installation. For information about how to perform a silent installation, see Section 4.2.5, Silently Installing One SSO Provider. Ensure that you meet the prerequisites for OSP before starting the appropriate installation for your environment. For more information, see Section 4.2.2, Considerations for Installing One SSO Provider.
If you are in a clustered environment, all of the nodes of the cluster must contain the same keystore and use the same certificates for secure communication. The OSP installer can do this work for you if you wait to stop Apache Tomcat at the Installation Summary screen of the OSP installer. You must do this for each node in the cluster. If you are not clustering OSP, you must stop Apache Tomcat before the installation starts.
To install OSP:
Ensure that you have completed the OSP Installation Worksheet before starting the installation. For more information, see Section 4.2.3, OSP Installation Worksheet.
Log in as root on a Linux server or as an administrator on a Windows server where you want to install OSP.
Download and extract the OSP installation file. For more information, see Section 2.2, Obtaining Identity Governance, Identity Reporting, Workflow Engine, and OSP.
If you are in a clustered environment, proceed to Step 5, otherwise, stop Apache Tomcat. For more information, see Section 3.4.3, Starting and Stopping Apache Tomcat.
From the directory that contains the installation files, complete one of the following actions:
Linux: Enter the following at a command prompt:
Guided: ./osp-install-linux.bin
Console: ./osp-install-linux.bin -i console
Windows: Enter the following from a command prompt:
Guided: osp-install-win.exe
Console: osp-install-win.exe -i console
NOTE:To execute the file, you might need to use the chmod +x or sh command for Linux to change the permissions on the installer or log in to your Windows server as an administrator.
Complete the installation, using the information you gathered in the OSP Installation Worksheet. For more information, see Section 4.2.3, OSP Installation Worksheet.
Review the pre-installation summary.
(Conditional) If you are in a clustered environment, stop Apache Tomcat at this time. For more information, see Section 3.4.3, Starting and Stopping Apache Tomcat.
Start the installation process.
(Conditional) At the end of the installation, if prompted, accept or reject any certificates, and acknowledge any errors.
The installer checks to see if you specified SSL for LDAP or audit. If so, the installer creates the trust store and attempts to retrieve the certificates. Untrusted certificates result in a prompt to accept or reject each certificate chain, with tabs showing extra certificates in the chain. The installer adds accepted certificates to the trust store.
The installer displays errors in the following conditions:
A single warning about potential future failures for all rejected certificates
A single warning for any errors when connecting to the secured servers
When the installation process completes, review the OSP_Install.log file to see what the installer did. The default location of the OSP_Install.log file is here:
Linux: /opt/netiq/idm/apps/osp/logs
Windows: c:\netiq\idm\apps\osp\logs
Before starting Apache Tomcat again, delete the contents of the following two directories from Apache Tomcat that contain cached files. The directories are:
Linux: Default installation location:
/opt/netiq/idm/apps/tomcat/temp
/opt/netiq/idm/apps/tomcat/work/Catalina/localhost
Windows: Default installation location:
c:\netiq\idm\apps\tomcat\temp
c:\netiq\idm\apps\tomcat\work\Catalina\localhost
Start Apache Tomcat. For more information, see Section 3.4.3, Starting and Stopping Apache Tomcat.
A silent (non-interactive) installation does not display a user interface or ask you any questions. The installation files that you download from the Customer Center contain the osp-install-silent.properties. You must edit the osp-install-silent.properties file and add the correct parameters for your environment. Ensure that you have met the prerequisites before starting the silent installation. For more information, see Section 4.2.2, Considerations for Installing One SSO Provider.
Use the following information to properly populate the osp-install-silent.properties file with values from your environment and how to use the osp-install-silent.properties file to silently install OSP.
The silent properties file for OSP allows you to perform an installation without any interaction. The osp-install-silent.properties file is in the ZIP file that you download from the Customer Center. You must edit the file to add the appropriate values for your environment. The different properties in the file relate to the questions that you answer during a guided installation or console installation.
You would use the silent installation if you had several instances of OSP to install. We recommend that you install the first instance of OSP using the guided installation or the console installation with the -r parameter and a path where the installer creates a response file for you.
IMPORTANT:To ensure the installation runs correctly, create an empty file in the installation location before starting the installation.
A response file contains the correctly formated properties and values that you must add to the osp-install-silent.properties file for your environment. You can open the response file and copy the values from the response file to the osp-install-silent.properties file to simplify the process of creating the osp-install-silent.properties file.
You can also use the OSP Installation Worksheet to add the proper values to the osp-install-silent.properties file. You open the osp-install-silent.properties file in a text editor and then use the information you gathered in the OSP Installation Worksheet to add the correct values for your environment. For more information, see Section 4.2.3, OSP Installation Worksheet.
To create the osp-install-silent.properties file using the response file:
Download and extract the OSP installation files. For more information, see Section 2.2, Obtaining Identity Governance, Identity Reporting, Workflow Engine, and OSP.
Ensure that you have completed the OSP Installation Worksheet to have the information required to complete the installation. For more information, see Section 4.2.3, OSP Installation Worksheet
Create the response file.
From the directory that contains the installation files, complete one of the following actions:
Linux: Enter the following at a command prompt:
Guided: ./osp-install-linux.bin -r path-to-response-file
Console: ./osp-install-linux.bin -i console -r path-to-response-file
Windows: Enter the following at a command prompt:
Guided:osp-install-win.exe -r path-to-response-file
Console: osp-install-win.exe -i console -r path-to-response-file
NOTE:To execute the file, you might need to use the chmod +x or sh command for Linux to change the permissions on the installer or log in to your Windows server as an administrator.
Use the OSP Installation Worksheet to complete the first guided or console installation of OSP to create the response file. For more information, see Section 4.2.3, OSP Installation Worksheet.
Review the OSP_Install.log file to ensure that no errors occurred.
Linux: /opt/netiq/idm/apps/osp/logs
Windows: c:\netiq\idm\apps\osp\logs
Find and open the response file in a text editor.
Find and open the osp-install-silent.properties in a text editor.
Copy the values from the response file to the osp-install-silent.properties file.
NOTE:If you are deploying on Windows, ensure that you escape the backslashes '\' or the silent properties files does not work.
Close the response file and save the osp-install-silent.properties file.
(Conditional) When installing on a secondary node in a cluster, you can modify the silent properties file using the steps in Creating a Silent Properties File for Installing an Additional Node to Cluster OSP.
Proceed to Running a Silent Installation for One SSO Provider to see how to run the silent installation using the osp-install-silent.properties file for the next installation of OSP.
In a clustered environment, you can use the same silent properties file for each node. However, you might choose to run the guided installation or the console installation on the primary node with the -r parameter to create the response file. You can then silently install on the secondary nodes. You can quickly create a silent properties file from the response file that the guided installation or console installation creates. For more information, see Creating a Silent Properties File for One SSO Provider.
There are additional parameters that you must add to the osp-install-silent.properties file if you are installing secondary nodes in a cluster. Use the following procedure to modify the osp-install-silent.properties file for any secondary nodes in the OSP cluster.
To create an osp-install-silent.properties file for secondary cluster nodes:
After installing OSP on the primary node, locate the response file in the directory you specified. For more information, see Creating a Silent Properties File for One SSO Provider.
Locate the sample osp-install-silent.properties file, by default in the same directory as the installer program for OSP.
Open the files in a text editor.
Copy the parameter values from the response file to their corresponding parameters in the silent properties file.
Change the values that represent true/false settings:
Log file |
Silent.properties file |
---|---|
0 |
false |
1 |
true |
Change the values for the NetIQ servlet and auditing protocols as specified in the following table:
Log file |
Silent.properties file |
---|---|
|
NETIQ_SERVLET_PROTOCOL=http |
|
NETIQ_SERVLET_PROTOCOL=https |
|
NETIQ_OSP_AUDIT_PROTOCOL=tcp |
|
NETIQ_OSP_AUDIT_PROTOCOL=tls |
|
NETIQ_OSP_AUDIT_PROTOCOL=udp |
(Optional) Specify any number of certificate files and corresponding aliases to accept into the trust store. For example:
NETIQ_CERT_1_FILE=/home/username/Downloads/ldap_cert
NETIQ_CERT_1_ALIAS=osp-ldap
NOTE:You can specify the files in any order, and they must exist on the same machine as the OSP installer. The installer starts trusting with 1 and stops with the first missing consecutive number. So if you list files 1, 2, and 4, the installer only trusts certificates 1 and 2.
Save and close the files.
Copy the updated osp-install-silent.properties file to the server that becomes a node in the cluster.
Perform the silent installation on the new node using this modified file. For more information, see Running a Silent Installation for One SSO Provider.
A silent (non-interactive) installation does not display a user interface or ask any questions. Instead, the system uses information from the osp-install-silent.properties file to complete the installation. You would perform this type of installation if you have multiple installations to perform or you are deploying a clustered environment. This file is included with the OSP installation files. You must have the osp-install-silent.properties file populated with the correct values for your environment before you start the silent installation.
To perform a silent installation of OSP:
Ensure that you have created the osp-install-silent.properties file for your environment. For more information, see Creating a Silent Properties File for One SSO Provider.
(Conditional) If this server is an additional node to cluster OSP, ensure that you properly modify the osp-install-silent.properties file for the additional nodes in a cluster. For more information, see Creating a Silent Properties File for Installing an Additional Node to Cluster OSP.
Ensure that this server meets the prerequisites for OSP before starting the installation. For more information, see Section 4.2.2, Considerations for Installing One SSO Provider
Ensure that the OSP installation files are on this server. For more information, see Section 2.2, Obtaining Identity Governance, Identity Reporting, Workflow Engine, and OSP.
Log in as root on Linux server or an administrator on Windows server where you want to install OSP.
Stop Apache Tomcat. For more information, see Section 3.4.3, Starting and Stopping Apache Tomcat.
Copy the populated osp-install-silent.properties file to this server.
To run the silent installation, from a command prompt issue the following command:
Linux: ./osp-install-linux.bin -i silent -f path_to_silent_properties_file
Windows: osp-install-win.exe -i silent -f path_to_silent_properties_file
NOTE:If the silent properties file is in a different directory from the installation script, you must specify the full path to the file. The script unpacks the necessary files to a temporary directory and then launches the silent installation.
When the console prompt returns, review the log file to ensure that the installation completed successfully. The silent installation does not display any messages on the console.
The log file is located in the following default directory:
Linux: /opt/netiq/idm/apps/osp/logs/
Windows: c:\netiq\idm\apps\osp\logs\
When the installation process completes, continue to Section 6.0, Installing Identity Governance.
