Installation Steps:

For Sailpoint IIQ installation, we need some software’s, and the software’s is listed in the steps below.

Java (11.0.18_windows-x64_bin.exe): JDK
MySQL Database (mysql-installer-community-8.0.18.0) Database Server
Apache Tomcat (apache-tomcat-9.0.1-windows-x64): Application Server
IdentityIQ (Identityiq-8.4.zip)

Note: identityiq.zip should contain database scripts and war files.

Step 1: JDK Installation

Click Here to Download JDK 11

Download JDK, Once the JDK successfully downloads, run the installer as an administrator. During installation, accept the default wizards.
After the installation is successfully completed.
Go to the Windows button and type Click on it to “Edit the system environmental variables.“

Then click on environmental variables.

Under “environmental variables” we have to set Variable & Value for user variables and system variables.
In “User variables,” click on the edit button and add JAVA_HOME as the variable name and the path to your JDK where you have installed it on your local machine.

Once the Environment variables setup is complete, we have to test your JDK .
Go to the command prompt and enter javac -version and java version . If these two commands return information about your Java-installed version of the toolkit, which means your JDK has been installed successfully

Step 2: MySQL Installation

Download MySql Installer
Double-click on the MySQL installer.
You can accept the default wizard options for installation.

Click Here to Download MySQL 8.0

Note: During the installation process, one or more requirements may fail due to your local machine not having updated software. Please ignore it and move on to the next steps. If it is a mandatory requirement, the installation could not progress further,even if you continued.

During the setup, under “Accounts and Roles,” you need to choose a root password for your MySQL database.

Note:Make note of this password, which you will need later for other configuration steps.

After the completion of the installation

If you search for MySQL on your local machine, you can see the installed components.

Step 3: Install Apache Tomcat 9.0 Server

Step 4: IdentityIQ Installation

Note: To download the IdentityIQ file, you may need to login to the Sailpoint community. The file will be available in the Sailpoint community.

Download identityiq-8.4 zip file.
Create a \identityiq directory under the Tomcat webapps directory.

Unzip the identityiq-8.4 file in the default path and copy the content into the identity directory.

You can directly unzip the identityiq-8.4 into the identityiq directory.
database: contains the scripts to create or configure schemas, which will be used by IdentityIQ for working.

doc: contains documents related to installation.
Integration: Contains a list of connectors to connect to IdentityIQ with different tools.
identityiq.war: This war file can be deployed on an application server (Tomcat) to run IIQ.
Extract the identityiq.war file, go to the command prompt, and give the path of the identityiq.war file where it is located. Ex: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 9.0\webapps\identityiq.

Enter the command jar -xvf identityiq.war

In IdentityIQ,you will have the extracted content of the war file.

The creation of a database schema comes next.
Go to the command prompt and change to the C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 9.0\webapps\identityiq\WEB-INF\bin directory.
