Installing the Tivoli Remote Control Proxy Using a Response File

You can also install the Tivoli Remote Control proxy in silent mode. In this case, the installation process reads the necessary information from a response file instead of prompting the user for keyboard input. Use this method to install the Tivoli Remote Control proxy on workstations using 800x600 resolution with 16 colors, for example in VGA mode.

Table 20 lists the response files available on the Tivoli Remote Control CD in the RCPROXY directory:

Table 20. Response Files
Environment Response File Name Description
Tivoli Remote Control Proxy on top of Firewall Security Toolbox epp.rsp Use it when the endpoint proxy is already installed on the workstation where you want to install the Tivoli Remote Control proxy. The response file performs the same procedure described in Parent Tivoli Remote Control proxy on Top of Endpoint Proxy.
gwp.rsp Use it when the gateway proxy is already installed on the workstation where you want to install the Tivoli Remote Control proxy. The response file performs the same procedure described in Child Tivoli Remote Control Proxy on Top of Gateway Proxy.
Standalone Tivoli Remote Control Proxy stdl_epp.rsp Use it when neither the endpoint proxy nor the gateway proxy are installed on the workstation where you want to install the Tivoli Remote Control proxy and when parent must be the role of the Tivoli Remote Control proxy. The response file performs the same procedure described in Parent Tivoli Remote Control Proxy in Standalone Mode.
stdl_gwp.rsp Use it when neither the endpoint proxy nor the gateway proxy are installed on the workstation where you want to install the Tivoli Remote Control proxy and when child must be the role of the Tivoli Remote Control proxy. The response file performs the same procedure described in Child Tivoli Remote Control Proxy in Standalone Mode.

To install the Tivoli Remote Control proxy, perform the following steps:

  1. Place the Tivoli Remote Control proxy installation media in a drive accessible as a drive letter by the systems on which you want to install Tivoli Remote Control proxy in silent mode.
  2. Copy the response file to a local folder and edit it as necessary. Entries in response files use the following format: 
    keyword=value
    Note:
    After you have edited the response file, ensure that no blank lines follow the last entry.
  3. Install the Tivoli Remote Control proxy by running the following command depending on the operating system installed:

The configuration information is saved to the rcproxy.cfg file created in the installation directory.

The following are sample rcproxy.cfg files for a parent and a child Tivoli Remote Control proxy:
