IMPORTANT:If Administration Console and Identity Server are installed on different servers, both use 8080 and 8443 ports. If Administration Console and Identity Server are installed on the same server, Identity Server uses 8080 and 8443 ports and Administration Console uses 2080 and 2443 ports.
If you have Red Carpet or auto update running, stop these programs before you install Administration Console.
Verify that the machine meets the minimum requirements. See Prerequisites for Installing Administration Console.
Open a terminal window.
Access the install script as a root user:
Ensure that you have downloaded the software.
For software download instructions, see the release-specific Release Notes.
If you downloaded the tar.gz file, unzip it by using the following command:
tar -xzvf <filename>
Change to the novell-access-manager directory.
At the command prompt, specify the following:
./install.sh
Ensure that you have adequate space in the system before you proceed with installation.

The system displays an error message if /var uses BTRFS filesystem and the installation is terminated. You can change the filesystem from BTRFS to any other available filesystem, and then try installing.
Review and accept the License Agreement.
Novell Base and JDK for NetIQ are installed.
(Optional) The installer displays a warning if the host name of the system is mapped to the IP address 127.0.0.2 in the /etc/hosts file:
An entry of 127.0.0.2 in the /etc/hosts file affects the Access Manager functionality. Do you want to proceed with removing it (y/n) [y]
Specify Y to proceed.
The host name mapping to 127.0.0.2 may cause certain Access Manager processes to encounter errors when they attempt to resolve the host name of the machine. To avoid these problems, remove the 127.0.0.2 entry from the/etc/hosts file.
Verify that the required rpms are of the latest versions. Specify Y to proceed.
Specify the IP address of the local Administrator server.
Specify whether this is a primary Administration Console in a failover group. The first Administration Console installed becomes the primary console:
You can install up to three Administration Consoles for replication and failover purposes. If this is not the primary console, you must provide the IP address of the primary Administration Console.
Specify the administration username.
Press Enter to use admin as the default admin username, or change this to a username of your choice.
NOTE:
Administration Console username does not accept special characters # (hash), & (ampersand), and ()(round brackets).
If you are installing secondary Administration Console, the username must be from the o=novell container. If the username is from any other container, the Administration Console installation fails.
Specify the administration password. Use alphanumeric characters only.
NOTE:Administration Console password does not accept : (colon) and " (double quotes) special characters.
Confirm the password, then wait for the system to install components.
Record the login URL.
When installation completes, the login URL is displayed. It looks similar to the following:
http://10.10.10.50:8080/nps
Use this to configure Access Manager components.
Continue with Configuring the Administration Console Firewall.
