Installation: FPA-Installer.exe Command Line
Arguments

The following describes the available commands for FPA-Installer.exe. Be sure to wrap all complex passwords in double-quotes like "&()[]{}^=;!'+,`~ my c0mpl3x PW". As a result of this requirement, double quotes cannot be used in passwords or AES secrets. Paths that include a space also require double quotes.

Notes about the different Username arguments:

  • /PrimaryUsername and /AgentUsername are created as "internal FPA Service API users" that do not exist as local Windows or Domain accounts. Using "fpa_services" is only a suggestion.

  • /ServiceUsername must be a local Windows or Domain account. If a non-existent local account is specified, it will be created as a non-Administrator user. Local accounts are specified by using the format ".\username".

  • If no /ServiceUsername is specified during a "Install Agent" command then a local, non-Administrator Windows account named "fpa_services" will be created with a randomized and unsaved password. (Not to be confused with the API accounts previously-mentioned.)
