Server AIX 7.1 TL 5 with CentrifyDC Express 5.4.2-668
The documentation (link) to install centrify-adbindproxy-5.4.0-aix6.1-ppc.tgz (IBM AIX 6.1 or later) says
- gunzip centrifydc-adbindproxy-*-aix6.1-ppc.tgz
- inutoc .
- installp -aY -d centrifydc-adbindproxy-*-aix6.1-ppc.bff CentrifyDC.adbindproxy
Doing so returns...
Step 1 produces centrify-adbindproxy-5.4.0-aix6.1-ppc.tar
Step 2 returns new prompt
Step 3 Here in lies the issue. The command calls for a file with a .bff extension. Step 1 produced a file with .tar. No instruction on how to get us from one to the other.
My attempt to get the file to become .bff:
When I uncompressed the .tar file (tar xvf ), it produced 2 files: an html file and a same named .gz file.
I gunzip-ed the .gz file and it produced a file still with the same name as the original .tgz; however, it has no extension and added -bff to the name.
When I ran the installp command it responded with 0503-436... could not be accessed. Specify a valid device name.
I took a 'what if' and replaced the -bff with .bff but still no go. Same response.
Alternate Approach
Now, SMITTY did recognize the tar version of the file. Used it to run a mock install, and it returned a successful install message.
Not sure how reliable it is doing it this way. I used this alternate way to install this program the first time, and it worked once soon after its install. But after a reboot, the shares never came back online. Maybe it's coincidence.
Hence, why I am posting this. This time, I want to install it by the book.
Has anyone had success installing it using the same platform?
