The AIM application installer prompts you for the following information:

• AIM Software License Agreement—You must accept the agreement.
• Install directory—The directory in which to install the AIM application.

This is the port number that you must provide when connecting to the AIM application from a Web browser, see Connecting to the AIM Application and Logging In.
• Database JNDI port number—The Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) port on which the database listens for requests from the AIM Service. Enter a port number from 1 to 65535. If the port is in use, a warning is displayed and you must enter a new port number.

  • Keystore Password—The password should be 6 characters or longer.
  • AIM Server Name—The server on which AIM is being installed.
  • AIM Server Organizational Unit—The organizational unit to which the AIM installation belongs. This information is optional.
  • AIM Installation Organization—The organization to which the AIM installation belongs.
  • AIM Server City or Locality—The city or locality in which the AIM server is located. This information is optional.
  • AIM Server State or Province— The state or province in which the AIM server is located.

• AIM Service RMI port number—The port on which the AIM Service will listen for requests from the AIM application. Enter a port number from 1 to 65535. Port number 1122 is the default.
• Username and group for the installation directory—A non-root username and group of the user that owns the AIM application installation, for example, aimuser and aimgroup. Username and group are only requested if the user installing the application is the root user. The username and group of the user must exist on the workstation.
• mySQL Port Number—Port number for the locally installed mySQL database. You can enter a port number from 1 to 65535. Port number 3306 is the default.

  Note: The AIM application and the JUNOScope software installations cannot use the same mySQL port number. They are separate installations, each with their own mySQL sub-installation. If the JUNOScope software mySQL instance is running, the AIM application installer detects that the default port 3306 is in use and displays a warning. The AIM installer returns you to the port screen to input a different port number.
