Prerequisites
Ensure that you meet the network requirements listed in Network Requirements.
Edit the /etc/hosts files on each virtual machine and add an entry to resolve its hostname to its private IP address.
Ensure that the virtual machines do not have a default firewall configuration that could prevent proper installation and use of the Access Manager components.
Ensure that the required port rules in the network security groups have been created. See Section 8.2.3, Configuring Network Security Groups.
Before starting Access Manager installations, ensure that the additional packages listed in the prerequisites sections of each Access Manager component are added.
Important Points to Consider before Installation
You must know the following points before you start the installation:
Re-importing Identity Server and Access Gateway is not supported.
Auto scaling of nodes is not supported. You can add or remove nodes manually. See Recommendations for Scaling Access Manager Components in Public Cloud.
Installation Procedure
Perform the following steps to install Access Manager components on virtual machines:
IMPORTANT:In the following steps, run the Access Manager installation scripts as a root user using sudo. For example, sudo sh <script-name>.
Copy the novell-access-manager-<version>.tar.gz file using Secure Copy (scp) to the virtual machines on which you will install Administration Console and Identity Server.
The following is a sample scp command that shows how to copy the installer using the SSH key and username specified while creating the virtual machine:
scp -i <key> <path/filename_of_tarball> <username>@<vm_ip>:/<path>
Copy the novell-access-gateway-<version>.tar.gz file to the virtual machine on which you will install Access Gateway.
Install Administration Console, Identity Server, and Access Gateway on respective virtual machines.
For information about how to install these components, see Installing Administration Console, Installing Identity Server, and Installing Access Gateway.
IMPORTANT:While installing Identity Server and Access Gateway, specify the internal IP address of the Administration Console machine. This ensures that communications among machines happen inside the firewall.
Configure Identity Server and Access Gateway.
For information about how to configure, see Setting Up a Basic Access Manager Configuration
in the NetIQ Access Manager 5.0 Administration Guide.
