The CM servers comprises several sub-components that may be loaded into the same computer or distributed to several computers in order to obtain higher performance. See this list of CM server components.

Prerequisites

• Make sure you have access to the license file before starting the installation.

• A pre-installed database is required. See Configure database for use with Certificate Manager for details.

• Supported databases, see Certificate Manager - requirements and interoperability for more information.

Step-by-step instruction

Install server components

1. To make install_server.shexecutable, issue this command:
   chmod a+x install_server.sh

2. Execute install_server.sh.

3. Enter the full installation path, for example: /opt/cm/server
   If CM clients are already installed on this computer, the server installation must not be made to the same directory.

The  CMDB database must already exist and the JDBC component should be included to create the database connection parameters. If CF is selected without the CIS component, the CF will automatically be configured to run CIS locally within the CF service. If both the CF and CIS components are selected, CF will be automatically configured to connect to the installed independent CIS service (see Configure the Certificate Factory in Certificate Manager).

   • Install all clients at the same time. It is not possible to add new clients later. You must uninstall existing clients before you can reinstall, see Uninstall Certificate Manager server components and clients.

   • If you have a license for the functions Key Archive and Recovery or Card Production Manager but are not going to use them, you must set the following parameters in cm.conf:
     CardProductionManager.start=false
KARFactory.start=false
