Installing and Uninstalling on Windows

PKI Services Manager is available as a separate download at no additional charge when you purchase supporting products.

To install PKI Services Manager:

  1. Log in as an administrator.
  2. Start the Setup Program (Setup.exe) from the download site.
  3. Accept the default settings on the Advanced tab. (Creating an administrative installation image does not actually install the product — instead, it places the install files on a network location for later installation to multiple workstations.)
  4. Start the service.

Note

  • Starting the console or the service for the first time initializes PKI Services Manager. This creates the required data folders and default settings files. If these folders already exist, they are not changed; PKI Services Manager uses your existing data files and folders. (On UNIX the install script automatically initializes PKI Services Manager if required, and starts the service.)
  • Before PKI Services Manager can validate certificates you need to edit the default configuration and map files.

To uninstall PKI Services Manager

  1. Log in as an administrator.
  2. From the Windows Programs and Features (or the Add or Remove Programs) control panel, select PKI Services Manager.
  3. Click Uninstall (or Remove).

Install to this PC Installs PKI Services Manager to your computer.
Create an Administrative install image on a server An administrative install image does not actually install the product, instead, it creates an installation image that administrators can use to deploy PKI Services Manager to end users. When you create an administrative install image, an image of PKI Services Manager is copied to a network location for later installation to multiple workstations. This network location can be used by deployment tools to access and create packages that are deployed to workstations. Also, end users can perform installations by running setup.exe from this location.
Log file settings By default, an installation log file is created and then deleted after installation successfully completes to avoid accumulation of large log files after successful installations. To save a log file for all installations, including successful ones, select Create a log file for this installation, and clear Delete log file if install succeeds. The installation log file, which provides details about the installation, is saved in the user's Windows temporary folder (%tmp%) with a generated name that begins with atm. To open this directory, launch the Start menu Run command and enter %tmp%.
