Installing the DMZ Secure Proxy Server using the GUI

You can use the Installation Manager GUI to install the DMZ Secure Proxy Server for IBM WebSphere Application Server. Installing the DMZ Secure Proxy Server allows a secure proxy server profile to be created outside of the cell.

Before you begin

Install Installation Manager:
  1. Perform one of the following procedures:
    • If you want to use the Installation Manager that is included with this product, perform the following actions:
      1. Obtain the necessary files.
        There are three basic options for obtaining and installing Installation Manager and the product.
        • Access the physical media, and use local installation
          You can access the product repositories on the product media.
          1. Install Installation Manager on your system.

            You can install Installation Manager using the product media, using a file obtained from the Passport Advantage® site, or using a file containing the most current version of Installation Manager from the IBM® Installation Manager download website.

          2. Use Installation Manager to install the product from the product repositories on the media.
        • Download the files from the Passport Advantage site, and use local installation
          Licensed customers with a Passport Advantage ID and password can download the necessary product repositories from the Passport Advantage site.
          1. Download the files from the Passport Advantage site.
            Tip: See How to download WebSphere® Application Server V8.58.5.5 from Passport Advantage Online for a list of the IBM WebSphere Application Server Version 8.5 installation images downloadable from the IBM Passport Advantage Online website and other information.
          2. Install Installation Manager on your system.

            You can install Installation Manager using the product media, using a file obtained from the Passport Advantage site, or using a file containing the most current version of Installation Manager from the IBM Installation Manager download website.

          3. Use Installation Manager to install the product from the downloaded repositories.
        • Access the live repositories, and use web-based installation
          If you have a Passport Advantage ID and password, you can install the product from the web-based repositories.
          1. Install Installation Manager on your system.

            You can install Installation Manager using the product media, using a file obtained from the Passport Advantage site, or using a file containing the most current version of Installation Manager from the IBM Installation Manager download website.

            http://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.websphere.NDDMZ.v85 
            Note: This location does not contain a web page that you can access using a web browser. This is a remote web-based repository location that you must specify for the value of the -repositories parameter so that the imcl command can access the files in this repository to install the product.

          Whenever possible, you should use the remote web-based repositories so that you are accessing the most up-to-date installation files.

        Notes:
        • If you do not have a Passport Advantage ID and password, you must install the product from the product repositories on the media or local repositories.
        • With the Packaging Utility, you can create and manage packages for installation repositories. You can copy multiple packages into one repository or copy multiple disks for one product into a repository. You can copy packages from Passport Advantage or a web-based repository into a local repository for example. For more information on the Packaging Utility, go to the IBM Installation Manager Version 1.6 Information Center or the IBM Installation Manager Version 1.5 Information Center.
