Installation example for AIX

This is an example installation of PingID SSH for AIX. Your installation might vary depending on your particular configuration.

Steps

  1. Download yum.sh from: https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/ezinstall/ppc/yum.sh.

    If you experience difficulty downloading yum.sh directly to the server, first download it to the local machine, and then copy it to the server using scp.

  2. From a terminal session, execute the following commands as root:

    source yum.sh
yum update
yum install unzip automake libtool gcc curl-devel

  3. Download and extract the PingID package.

  4. Go to the PingID installation directory: cd pingid-<version>

  5. Set the environment variables in preparation for the build process:

    export M4=/opt/freeware/bin/m4
env LIBTOOLIZE=glibtoolize

  6. From the terminal session, execute the following commands:

    autoreconf --install jansson/jansson-2.13.1
autoreconf --install libjwt/libjwt-1.12.0
autoreconf --install
 ./configure --with-pam --prefix=/usr
 make
 make install #as root

  7. Download the properties file. See Integrate PingID with SSH.

  8. Copy the properties file to /usr/etc/pingid/pingid.properties.

    Example:

    sudo cp pingid.properties /usr/etc/pingid/pingid.properties

    Do not make any changes to the contents of the file.
