Installing and Uninstalling on Unix

To install PKI Services Manager

  1. Log in as root.

  2. Copy the installation package file to your computer and navigate to the directory that contains this file.

  3. Use gzip to unzip the package:

    gzip -d package_name.tar.gz

    For example:

    gzip -d pkid_1.3.0.999-i386-solaris.gz

  4. Use tar to expand the file:

    tar -xf package_name.tar

    This creates a directory based on the package name. For example: pkid_1.3.0.999-i386-solaris/

  5. Change to this directory. For example: cd pkid_1.3.0.999-i386-solaris

  6. Run the install script:

    ./install.sh

  7. You are prompted to specify installation locations. To accept the default locations (recommended), press Enter in response to these prompts.

Note

  • On Unix the install script automatically starts the service
  • Before PKI Services Manager can validate certificates you need to edit the default configuration and map files.

Uninstalling

  1. Log in as root.

  2. Run the uninstall script. This script is installed to the bin directory in the PKI Services Manager data folder. The default path is:

    /opt/microfocus/pkid/bin/uninstall.sh

The uninstall script renames your existing configuration directory (/opt/microfocus/pkid/config/ by default) using a name based on the current date, and time. For example, config.20140101143755. Your local-store directory and any certificates you have added to this directory remain unchanged.
