Issue/Introduction

Getting an error when installing VS Catalog on Linux.

An Identity and Access Manager (IAM) is required for Virtual Service
Catalog. To connect to an existing IAM, enter the URL for an existing IAM
service.

[ERROR: Unresolved installer variable "iamServer"]

 

 

Environment

All supported DevTest releases.

Cause

Defect with VS Catalog install.

Resolution

Workaround:

Sill type in the URL for IAM as such:

https://localhost:51111/auth

You will have to manually update the VSCAT_HOME/application.yml file with the right URL because it is not getting updated properly on install:

svcatalog: 
  auth: 
    host: 
      url: https:///auth

Replace with

svcatalog: 
  auth: 
    host: 
      url: https://localhost:51111/auth

 

The VS Catalog will start properly after the application.yml is updated with the right url formatted.
