Manual installation without installer script

It is also possible to install Airlock IAM manually.

Basically, you have to perform the same actions the installer would:

  1. Download the Airlock IAM application archive, e.g. airlock-iam-8.0.tar.gz and transfer it to the target host.
  2. Extract it (target directory can be anything):
  3.  
    Terminal box
    cd /opt
tar -xvf airlock-iam-*.tar.gz
  4. Run it:
  5.  
    Terminal box
    ./airlock-iam-*/bin/iam -h       # Print help
./airlock-iam-*/bin/iam init -h  # Print help for init subcommand

./airlock-iam-*/bin/iam init -c ~/iam --instance "auth" --analytics LICENSE_DATA # Create instance named "auth" with default configuration templates and with license analytics enabled
ls ~/iam/instances/auth  # List files in "auth" instance directory, including "instance.properties"
./airlock-iam-*/bin/iam run -c ~/iam -i "auth"  # Launch instance named "auth"
 
Notice

For security reasons, Airlock IAM should never run as root. A dedicated user should be created to run Airlock IAM. The installer creates a user named airlock.

 
Notice

Starting with IAM 8.5, the IAM license and analytics feature is mandatory. If it is not configured, configuration activation will fail. The IAM CLI is used to configure the analytics plugin, during the init, reset, and upgrade operations. When you run any of these operations, you must specify your preferred analytics mode. For more information, see License and usage analytics.
