The following table contains additional information about these properties:

Property	Note
IP/DNS names	Do not use a host name mapping to 127.0.0.1 or an IP address of 127.0.0.1 when specifying the IP address of a node.
`ENABLE_SYSTEM_CHECK`	If "y", check that the system meets the CPU and memory requirements for the component being installed. See Installation Requirements for requirements for each component. The default value is "n" to disable check.
`ENABLE_DYNAMIC_HOSTIP`	If a server has multiple interface cards, the "hostname -i" command returns a space-separated list of IP addresses's. By default, the Edge installer uses the first IP address returned, which might not be correct in all situations. As an alternative, you can set the following property in the installation configuration file. When set to "y", the installer prompts you to select the IP address to use in the install. The default value is "n". Caution: If you set `ENABLE_DYNAMIC_HOSTIP=y`, ensure that your property file does not set `HOSTIP`.
`ADMIN_EMAIL` `APIGEE_ADMINPW`	The system administrator's password must be at least 8 characters long and contain one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one digit or one special character. If you omit the password, you will be prompted for it. After installation completes, Apigee recommends that you remove the password from the configuration file.
`LICENSE_FILE`	The location of the license file, which must be accessible to the "apigee" user. For example, store it in the /tmp directory and chmod 777 on the file. The file is copied to the Edge installation directory.
`APIGEE_LDAPPW`	Specifies the OpenLDAP password. After installation completes, Apigee recommends that you remove the password from the configuration file.
`USE_LDAP_REMOTE_HOST LDAP_HOST LDAP_PORT`	If `USE_LDAP_REMOTE_HOST` is n, Edge automatically installs OpenLDAP when it installs the Management Server. Set `USE_LDAP_REMOTE_HOST` to y if you are connecting to a remote LDAP server. OpenLDAP is not installed with the Management Server. If you are connecting to a remote OpenLDAP server, use `LDAP_HOST` and `LDAP_PORT` to specify the IP address or DNS name and port number of the host.
`LDAP_TYPE` `LDAP_SID` `LDAP_PEER`	Set `LDAP_TYPE`=1 for OpenLDAP with no replication. `LDAP_TYPE`=2 corresponds to OpenLDAP with replication. If your Edge topology uses a single OpenLDAP server, specify 1. If your Edge installation uses multiple OpenLDAP nodes, such as in a 13-node production installation, specify 2. If you enable replication, set the following properties: `LDAP_SID`=1 - Unique ID for this LDAP server. Each LDAP node uses a different ID. For example, set to 2 for LDAP peer. `LDAP_PEER`=10.0.0.1 - IP or DNS name of LDAP peer.
`MP_POD`	Specify the name of the Message Processor and Router pod. By default, the name is gateway.
`REGION`	Region name. By convention, names are typically in the form dc-# where # corresponds to an integer value. For example, dc-1, dc-2, etc. You can use dc-1 unless installing in a multi-data center environment. In a multiple data center installation, the value is dc-1, or dc-2, etc. depending on which data center you are installing. However, you are not restricted to using only names in the form dc-#. You can use any name for the region.
`ZK_HOSTS`	The IP addresses or DNS names of the ZooKeeper nodes. The IP addresses or DNS names must be listed in the same order on all ZooKeeper nodes. Use the same format for `HOSTIP` as you use for `ZK_HOSTS`. That is, if you specify the IP address for `ZK_HOSTS` use an IP address for `HOSTIP`. If you use a DNS, then use a DNS name for both. In a multi-data center environment, list all ZooKeeper nodes from both data centers. Specify the ":observer" modifier on ZooKeeper nodes only when creating multiple data centers as described in a 12-host installation. In a single data center installation, omit that modifier. For more information, see 12-host clustered installation.
`ZK_CLIENT_HOSTS`	The IP addresses or DNS names of the ZooKeeper nodes used by this data center. The IP addresses or DNS names must be listed in the same order on all ZooKeeper nodes. Use the same format for `HOSTIP` as you use for `ZK_CLIENT_HOSTS`. That is, if you specify the IP address for `ZK_CLIENT_HOSTS` use an IP address for `HOSTIP`. If you use a DNS, then use a DNS name for both. In a single data center installation, these are the same nodes as specified by `ZK_HOSTS`. In a multi-data center environment, list only the ZooKeeper nodes in this data center. For more information, see 12-host clustered installation.
`CASS_CLUSTERNAME`	Optionally specify the name of the Cassandra cluster. The default name is "Apigee".
`CASS_HOSTS`	The IP addresses (not DNS names) of the Cassandra nodes. The first two nodes will be used as seed servers. The IP addresses must be listed in the same order on all Cassandra nodes. Cassandra nodes can have an optional ":dc,ra" suffix that specifies the data center and rack of the Cassandra node. Specify this modifier only when creating multiple data centers as described in a 12-host installation. In a single data center installation, omit that modifier. For example '192.168.124.201:1,1 = datacenter 1 and rack/availability zone 1, and '192.168.124.204:2,1 = datacenter 2 and rack/availability zone 1. In a multi-datacenter environment, to overcome firewall issues, CASS_HOSTS have to be ordered in a manner (as shown in above example) such that the nodes of the current datacenter are placed at the beginning. For more information, see 12-host clustered installation.
`CASS_AUTH` `CASS_USERNAME` `CASS_PASSWORD`	If you enable Cassandra authentication, CASS_AUTH=y, you can pass the Cassandra user name and password by using these properties. After installation completes, Apigee recommends that you remove the password from the configuration file.
`PG_USER` `PG_PWD`	By default, the PostgreSQL database has two users defined: 'postgres' and 'apigee'. `PG_USER` lets you change the username of the 'apigee' user. You cannot change the name of the 'postgres' user. By default, the PostgreSQL database has two users defined: 'postgres' and 'apigee'. Both users have a default password of 'postgres'. Use `PG_PWD` to set the password to a different value for both users at install time. After installation completes, Apigee recommends that you remove the password from the configuration file.
`PG_MASTER` `PG_STANDBY`	Set to enable Postgres master-standby replication, in the form: PG_MASTER=`IPofNewMaster` PG_STANDBY=`IPofOldMaster` Note: Apigee strongly recommends that you use IP addresses rather than host names for the `PG_MASTER` and `PG_STANDBY` properties in your silent configuration file. In addition, you should be consistent on both nodes. If you use host names rather than IP addresses, you must be sure sure that the host names properly resolve using DNS.
`SKIP_SMTP` `SMTPHOST` `SMTPUSER` `SMTPPASSWORD` `SMTPSSL` `SMTPPORT` `SMTPMAILFROM`	Configure SMTP so Edge can send emails for lost passwords and other notifications. If SMTP user credentials are not required, omit `SMTPUSER` and `SMTPPASSWORD`. `SMTPMAILFROM` is required.

In addition to the properties listed here, there are properties for configuring Apigee mTLS. For more information, see Configure Apigee mTLS.
