Symantec IGA Xpress control scripts

• CA Identity Suite

Issue/Introduction

Virtual Appliance provided a number of pre-defined 'alias' scripts to perform actions such as restarting, does Symantec IGA Xpress have similar Aliases?

Resolution

In the Virtual Appliance Broadcom had overall control of the Operating System and what end users were able to do within VAPP was limited.  We provided Aliases to perform routine activities such as restarting services, to actions such as clearing the contents of the Wildfly cache (/data/ and /tmp/ folders) that would otherwise not be possible due to the Virtual Appliance permissions model.

Symantec IGA Xpress leaves the OS control in the hands of the client, meaning there are no restrictions on the ROOT user, and clients are welcome to build and deploy whatever scripts are needed. 

We do provide several 'control' commands to perform basic actions such as starting and stopping components within the Deployment

igactl [-h] {start,stop,restart,status,is-active,is-enabled,cluster,repair,uninstall,sync,drimport,backup,listbkp,restore,restorev,diag,listv,encrypt,cleanpkgcache,portscan,reset,passwdxp}

You can read more about the available Alias here: IGA Xpress Commands

 

 

The latest release of IGA Xpress, Update 1.0.2 updates the control 'status' script with an 'all' option:

>igactl status all

balancer   running
imcs       running
idm        running
impd       running
impr       running
imps       running
suite      running
ustore     running
urouter    running

You can create an alias to more closely mirror the VAPP experience:

$> alias s="igactl status all"

/opt/brcm/iga$ s

balancer   running
idm        running
impd       running
impr       running
imps       running
suite      running
ustore     running
urouter    running

 

 

The latest IGA Xpress can be found in the Release Notes
