Chapter 3. Silent Installation
The Certificate System includes a tool, pkisilent, which can completely create and configure an instance in a single step. Normally, adding instances requires running the pkicreate utility to create the instance and then accessing the subsystem HTML page to complete the configuration. The pkisilent utility creates and configures the instance in a single step. The pkisilent tool must be downloaded independently. It is available through the Red Hat Certificate System 7.3 Red Hat Network channel.
Run this tool on a system which already has a subsystem installed, since this tool depends on having libraries, JRE, and core jar files already installed.
Two files are installed for the pkisilent tool:
pkisilent, the Perl wrapper script.
pkisilent.jar, the jar files containing the Java™ classes to perform a silent installation.
The utility can be downloaded and saved to any location and is then executed locally.
