As I prep for my next blog entry on the SAML Authentication with WS ONE Access, I was searching for the silent installation switches or options for the connector software. My script handles deploying the appliance in a semi-automated fashion, but I wanted to also automate the connector installation. Or at least, make it a […]

I built her in late 2018 to provide a solid baseline for light development, gaming, and virtualization with VMware Workstation.
