While you can use Management Console for Unix to install and configure Authentication Services as explained in Installing and configuring Authentication Services, you can also manually install the Authentication Services agent on each Unix, Linux, or Mac OS X host from the command line.
This section walks you through the process of installing the Authentication Services Unix agent directly from the command line. For information about installing, upgrading, and uninstalling the Authentication Services agent on supported platforms in an enterprise environment using platform package management tools, refer to Enterprise package deployment.
Before installing and configuring the Authentication Services Unix agent, One Identity recommends that you run the preflight tool to check a host's suitability to run Authentication Services. After you determine that the Unix host is ready, run the Authentication Services installation script, install.sh, to install the Unix/Linux agent.
One Identity provides the preflight utility to check a host's suitability to run Authentication Services by verifying a number of environmental considerations necessary for joining an Active Directory domain.
This utility obtains answers to the following questions:
The preflight command-line utility performs the following verifications.
You can find the preflight.sh script at the root of the ISO. This script runs the correct preflight version for your system.
The most important options and arguments to preflight are:
The domain you want to join with Authentication Services.
An identity with administrator rights for the Active Directory domain you want to join.
|
Note: The preflight utility does not make any changes to your system. |
To run preflight
# ./preflight.sh -u Administrator example.com
where Administrator is your user name and example.com is the name of your domain.
By default, preflight outputs the results of the verifications for the three types of checks (Install checks, Join checks, and Post-join checks) to the console. Run the preflight utility with the --verbose option to obtain detailed information about the various checks in those categories.
The last line of the output tells you whether you are ready to continue deploying Authentication Services.
If you did not get a Preflight Checks complete with status Success message, correct any failures indicated before continuing with the Authentication Services installation. Be aware of any "Advisories" that it returns, as they may effect your ability to install or join.

Note: If you get a message that says, Unable to locate Authentication Services Application Configuration, you can ignore that error for now and proceed with the Authentication Services installation. The Authentication Services Active Directory Configuration Wizard starts automatically to help you configure Active Directory for Authentication Services the first time you start the Control Center. Or, you can create the Authentication Services application configuration from the command line, as explained in Creating the application configuration from the Unix command line. |
|
Note: For information about other preflight options, either run preflight --help or refer to the preflight man page located in the docs directory of the installation media. See Resolving preflight failures for additional help in resolving issues. |
Follow the steps in this topic if you are installing a Authentication Services 4.2 for the first time; that is, if you are not upgrading from VAS 3.5.
The Authentication Services installation script, install.sh, installs Authentication Services, joins the domain, and allows you to install licenses. You can run the install script in interactive mode by using the -i option. This provides you with a menu of valid operations to perform, including Running preflight.
You can also automate the installation process by running install.sh in "unattended" mode using -q option. In this mode you may specify a set of commands for the script to perform.
