Installing Remedy SSO silently
Silent installations are used to deploy Remedy Single Sign-On to multiple systems. Silent installation of Remedy Single Sign-On involves generating an options file and then running the installer in silent mode.
The following sections provide steps to generate an options file and to run the installer in silent mode.
Before you begin
Perform all the tasks described in Preparing for installation.
To create an options.txt file
- Generate an options.txt file.
Copy the options that you want to install, and enter the installation parameters into the Templates for the options.txt file file.
(Linux) Ensure that no Ctrl+M characters were inserted in the options.txt file.
Templates for the options.txt file
Use one of the following example templates to create the options.txt file:
