Is it possible to pass admin password while installing aem instance through terminal ?

[MayurSatav]

Hi,

When we install AEM instance through terminal with the help of  java -jar aem-author-p4502.jar command, it asked for admin password as shown in below screenshot

I am working on one automation and wanted to know is there any way to pass this password along with java -jar aem-author-p4502.jar command. So that we don't have to enter it later? It will directly take it from argument we passed with command.

Thanks

hi @MayurSatav , Currently there are not any parameters which you can provide to pass username and password using command prompt

Hi @MayurSatav ,

Yes, that's possible using the -nointeractive Flag.

• Upon running the instance from the command line, you will be presented with the option to change the admin password during the installation process:
  
  

• You can also choose to specify the password from a properties file. This is done by using the -nointeractive flag combined with the -Dadmin.password.file system property.

  Below is an example:

  java -Dadmin.password.file =/path/to/passwordfile.properties -jar aem6.3.jar -nointeractive
  

  The password inside the passwordfile.properties file needs to have the below format:

  admin.password = 12345678
  

  NOTE:

  If you simply use the -nointeractive parameter without the -Dadmin.password.file system property, AEM will use the default admin password without asking you to change it, essentially replicating behaviour from earlier versions. This non interactive mode can be used for automated installations using the command line in an installation script.

Hope that helps!
