CLI Tool Installation Prerequisites
Review the prerequisites before you install the CLI Tool.
License for Vulnerability Data
The Illumio Core Vulnerability Maps license is required to import vulnerability data into the Illumio PCE. For information about obtaining a license, contact Illumio Customer Support. For information on activating the license, see Add the License for Vulnerability Data Upload.
Upload Vulnerability Data
When you plan on using the CLI Tool to upload vulnerability data, make sure you have the data to upload in advance. See Supported Vulnerability Data Sources.
Install Functional PCE
Because the CLI Tool is for managing resources on your PCE, you must already have installed a fully functional PCE.
Supported Computer Operating Systems
The following operating systems support the CLI Tool:
Linux
Ubuntu 18.04
Ubuntu 20.04
Centos/RHEL 7.9
Centos/RHEKL 8.4
Microsoft Windows
Note
The CLI Tool is not supported on Windows 32-bit CPU architecture. Ensure that you run it on Windows 64-bit CPU architecture.
Windows 2012 64 bit
Windows 2016 64 bit
Windows 10 64 bit
TLS/SSL Certificate for Access to the PCE
You need a TLS/SSL certificate to connect to the PCE securely. Requirements for this certificate are provided in the PCE Installation and Upgrade Guide.
Alternative Trusted Certificate Store
To secure the connection to the PCE, by default, the CLI Tool relies on your computer's trusted certificate store to verify the PCE's TLS certificate. You can specify a different trusted store. When you have installed a self-signed certificate on the PCE, an alternative trusted store might be necessary.
Example: Set envar for alternative trusted certificate store z
export ILO_CA_FILE=~/self-signed-cert.pem
Set the Illumio Core REST API Version
The CLI Tool uses v2 of the Illumio Core REST API by default.
