Create an AMI for ASE

About this task

Complete the following steps to create an AMI for ASE.

Steps

  1. Create an RHEL 7.6 or Ubuntu 16.04 LTS EC2 instance

  2. Install the AWS CLI by completing the following steps:

    1. Install Python 2.7

    2. Enter the following command:

      sudo curl "https://s3.amazonaws.com/aws-cli/awscli-bundle.zip" -o "awscli-bundle.zip"

    3. Unzip the CLI bundle

      sudo unzip awscli-bundle.zip

    4. Install the CLI:

      sudo ./awscli-bundle/install -i /usr/local/aws -b /usr/bin/aws

  3. Download the ASE AWS binary. After downloading the file, copy the ASE file to the /opt directory.

  4. Untar the binary in the EC2 instance. At the command prompt, type the following command to untar the ASE file:

    tar –zxvf <filename>

    For example:

    tar –zxvf ase-rhel-4.0.tar.gz

  5. To verify that ASE successfully installed, enter the ls command at the command prompt. This should list the pingidentity directory and the build’s tar file. For example:

    /opt/$ ls
pingidentity ase-rhel-4.0.tar.gz

  6. Change directory to /opt/pingidentity/ase/bin

  7. Run the install_service.sh aws script:

    /opt/pingidentity/ase/bin$sudo ./install_service.sh aws

  8. Create an AMI using this EC2 instance.

    When you are creating the AMI, do not select the “No Reboot” option.
