Linux - Enable IAA via the configuration file

You can enable or install the Intrexx Administration API via the command line using a configuration file.

To do this, you will need the "configuration.yml" file, as described in the section Linux - Installing IAA Using a Configuration File."

You will also need an additional configuration file, "admin_api.yaml," in which you must specify the port for the IAA, the IAA username, and the IAA user's password. When installing the IAA at a later time, the "configuration.yml" and "admin_api.yaml" files are called as parameters, and the information stored in them is processed.

configuration.yml

After installing Intrexx, you will find a "configuration.yml" file at the following path:

<intrexx-installation-directory>/installer/cfg/configuration.yml

admin_api.yaml

The "admin_api.yaml" file looks like this:

                username: "example-user"
password: "example-password"
port: 4242
            

You can find a sample "admin_api.yaml" file in the Intrexx setup files (before installing Intrexx) at the following path:

<IX_Intrexx-Version>admin-api/cfg/admin_api_example.yaml

Enable IAA via the configuration file

To enable the IAA via a configuration file, you must run the "setup.sh" file, which you can find at the following path:

<intrexx-installation-directory>/installer/setup/content

The `setup.sh` script is called with parameters that reference the configuration files "configuration.yml" and "admin_api.yaml."

The subsequent installation steps are the same as those in maintenance mode.

The README file, located in the setup directory at admin-api/README.txt, also describes the procedure.

Manually Enter the Portal Password

After you have enabled the Intrexx Administration API, you must specify the password for your portal in the admin-api.yaml file. You can find these at the following path: \<intrexx-installation-directory>\admin-api\cfg\

For detailed information on this topic, see the section " Portal Password."
