Installer Properties for Platform

mz.container

Default value: " "

Example value: platform1

This property specifies an identifier for the installed container. Each container in the system must have a unique identifier.

Typical values for mz.container is the hostname, or a descriptive value for the purpose of the container.

The permitted characters for the container identifier are 'a-z','0-9' and '-'.

mz.home

Default value: /opt/mz

This property specifies the target directory for the installed container and is automatically set to the environment variable you specified for MZ_HOME when Setting Environment Variables for PlatformPreview.

install.types

Default value: platform,ui,ec

This property specifies which components of the system will be installed.

platform is the core Platform. ui is the web-based user interface, and ec is the Execution Context.

For a Platform Container installation, you must include platform.

install.admin.password

Default value: dr

This property specifies the password for the administrative user mzadmin.

install.silent.enabled

Default value: false

This property enables or disables silent installation. When set to true, the installation proceeds without prompting for user input. If set to false, user interaction will be required.

install.keystore.location

Default value: ""

This property specifies the path to an existing keystore file. If not provided, a self-signed keystore will be automatically generated in $MZ_HOME/keys using the configured keystore password (install.keystore.password).

install.keystore.password

Default value: ""

This property specifies the password for the keystore. When silent installation is enabled, a valid keystore password is required, regardless of whether a self-signed keystore is generated or an existing keystore is used.

install.keystore.alias

Default value: ""

This property specifies the alias for the keystore entry. It is optional for self-signed keystore generation. However, if install.silent.enabled is set to true and install.keystore.location is specified, an alias must be provided.

install.security

Default value: true

This property specifies if the password of the mzadmin user must be changed during the installation and if enhanced security user control will be used. A valid certificate in a keystore is required for the installation. If it is not already prepared, the installation process will create a new one when prompted. See Network SecurityPreview for more information on network security.

install.str.remote.enabled

Default value: true

This property enables remote execution. For example you can use the mzsh command system to start and stop pico instances on remote container hosts.

By default, this will perform the following steps:

1. Add the Platform's public key to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

2. Add SSH connection information for this host to the STR, including: 

   • ssh-address: The hostname of this host (for example, $(hostname))

   • ssh-port: 22: Default SSH port

   • hostkeys: Discovered SSH public keys for this host in known file locations

If this is not desired, or if the default values are not suitable, set this value to false.

It is still possible to enable remote execution after the installation by using the mzsh command topo setupremote.
