Chapter 2: Installation

Installing the CLI onto FreeBSD

PCs running FreeBSD do not support WebPAM PRO, therefore they cannot use the WebPAM PRO installer. Those systems use a binary file to install the CLI in a terminal window.

Choose the x64 binary file for a 64-bit OS or the x86 binary file for a 32-bit OS.

To install the CLI onto your FreeBSD PC or server:

1.Boot the PC or server, log in as root.

If the computer is already running, exit all programs. If you are not logged in as root, log out, then log in again as root.

2.Insert the Software CD into your CD-ROM drive.

3.Copy the CLI_Installer...FreeBSD.bin file from the Software CD \CLI\FreeBSD directory to the /root directory on your PC.

4.Open a terminal window and type

sh CLI_Installer...FreeBSD.bin -i silent

and press Enter.

CLI_Installer...FreeBSD.bin represents the exact name of the CLI binary file, such as

CLI_Installer_3_11_0000_00_x64FreeBSD.bin, or CLI_Installer_3_11_0000_00_x86FreeBSD.bin

5. Reboot the PC or server.

After the installation is finished, type cliib with any shell to start the CLI.

Go to “Chapter 6: Management with the CLI” on page 149 for information about using this application.
