IdP 3.1.0.1 reinstall & Jetty

You don't.  If you want to move the installation you need to do an uninstall, move the target and do a reinstall to the position.  Nothing will be overwritten by the install process (so you can put nonsense into the all parameters it asks for except of course the target installation.

But this lack of overwrite means that you *will* need to edit jetty-base\start.d\idp.ini which contains absolute paths for:

jetty.backchannel.keystore.path
jetty.browser.keystore.path 
jetty.war.path

(and potentially jetty.jaas.path)

You don't have to change anything in the conf\* directory because that all keys off the idp.home which you specified when you installed.

I tried this this morning and it does work.

Note that the jetty and procrun installations remain in \Program Files\.  The only think of possible interest there is are the procrun logs and shibd_idpw.exe.

HINT: now would be a good time for you to run procrun and see what is happening to aacli.bat during your installation (but nobody else's)

> Is the installer being super aggressive about finding previous installations such that it might go after ImagePath in ControlSet002 (which I left alone)?

Yes, but that’s not how it does it.  The sources will tell you, but anything you learn from them is an implementation detail, subject to change &c &c (and you'd still need to edit idp.ini)
