Installing OpenIAM on a non-root partition

By default, OpenIAM is installed on the root partition, meaning the folder /usr/local/openiam folder. However, there is an option of installing OpenIAM on /opt partition.

Note: The /opt partition is used as an example here. OpenIAM can be installed on any partition with enough space available.

To do it, please follow the steps below.

1. Install OpenIAM via RPM as described in the instructions with or without internet connection.

rpm -i openiam-4.2.X.noarch.x86_64.rpm

2. After installed, move OpenIAM folder to the /opt partition by executing the following command.

mv /usr/local/openiam /opt/

3. Create the symbolic link /usr/local/openiam and change its owner with running next.

ln -s /opt/openiam /usr/local/openiam
chown -h openiam:openiam /usr/local/openiam

4. Initialize OpenIAM with a usual command.

openiam-cli init
