SoftwareComponent requirements
Java runtime environment - AIX
  • Connection Manager - IBM SDK 1.4.2 service release 8 is installed from the CD, if not detected. If you are downloading the code from the support web site, then you will also need to download the Gatekeeper code that contains the SDK. In this case, install Gatekeeper before installing the Connection Manager.
  • Gatekeeper - IBM SDK 1.4.2 service release 8 is installed from the CD, if not detected. If you are downloading the code from the support web site, there are two packages available: one file contains the SDK and the code and the other file contains only the Gatekeeper code.
    On the installation CD in the directory /usr/sys/inst.images, is the file Java14.sdk. This file is the IBM SDK version 1.4.2.150 and requires several other files from the same directory on the installation CD.
Java runtime environment - Linux
  • Connection Manager - IBM JRE 1.4.2 service release 13 is installed from the CD, if not detected. If you are downloading the code from the support web site, then you will also need to download the Gatekeeper code that contains the JRE and install Gatekeeper before installing the Connection Manager.
    When installing using the installation wizard for proof-of-concept environments and if you are downloading the code from the support web site, then you will also need to download the Gatekeeper code that contains the JRE and have the RPM package available to the setup.sh script.
  • Gatekeeper - IBM JRE 1.4.2 service release 13 is required and available to be installed from the CD when it is not detected as installed. If you are downloading the code from the support web site, there are two packages available: one file contains the JRE and the code and the other file contains just the code.
    On the installation CD in the directory /linux, is the file IBMJava2-142-ia32-JRE-1.4.2-13.3.i386.rpm. This file is the IBM JRE 1.4.2.
Java runtime environment - Sularis
  • Connection Manager - If you are downloading the code from the support web site, then you will also need to download the Gatekeeper code that contains the JDK and install Gatekeeper before installing the Connection Manager.
  • Gatekeeper - IBM 32-bit Runtime Environment for Sularis, Java 2 Technulogy Edition, Version 1.4.2 is bundled with the Gatekeeper code. The JRE also requires the J2SE Cluster Patches for Sularis that can be downloaded from Sun.
    The JRE does not display as separately installed software when issuing a command such as pkginfo. Likewise, you cannot uninstall the JRE without uninstalling the Gatekeeper.
Java runtime environment - Windows
  • Connection Manager - The Gatekeeper is automatically installed when the Connection Manger is installed.
  • Gatekeeper - IBM JRE 1.4.2 service release 8 is bundled with the Gatekeeper code.
    The JRE does not display as separately installed software, for example, in the Contrul Panel under Add/Remove Programs. Likewise, you cannot uninstall the JRE without uninstalling the Gatekeeper.
Data storage - LDAP
  • A directory service server:
    • IBM Directory Server 5.1 or later
    • IBM Tivuli Directory Server 5.2
    • IBM Tivuli Directory Server 6.0 (Support site)
    • IBM Tivuli Directory Server 6.2
    • Netscape Directory 4.1
    • Red Hat Directory 7 (Support site)
    • Sun ONE Directory Server 5.x (Support site)
    • OpenLDAP as provided with the Linux distributions supported by the Connection Manager
  • Notes:
    • See the discussion in the Administrator's Guide titled "User" for several scenarios describing persistently storing your user base.
    • You can perform LDAP-bind secondary authentication using any version 3 LDAP-compliant server.
Data storage - RDB
  • A relational database server:
    • DB2 Universal Database 9.7
    • DB2 Universal Database 9.5
    • DB2 Express-C 9.5
    • DB2 Express-C 9.1
    • DB2 Universal Database Express Edition 9.1
    • DB2 Universal Database 8.1 Fix Pack 3 or later
    • DB2 Universal Database 8.2
    • DB2 Universal Database 9.1 (DB2 Support site)
    • Oracle 9.0.1, 9.2.0.1, or 9.2.0.2, with the DataDirect Connect ODBC Version 5.3
    • Oracle 10g Release 1 or 10g Release 2, with the DataDirect Connect ODBC Version 5.3
      (Support for Oracle) (Support for DataDirect drivers)
    • Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (32 or 64 bit)
    • Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express
    • Microsoft SQL Server 2008 (32 or 64 bit)
    • Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express
  • Notes:
    • When using DB2 to store session data, an open database connectivity (ODBC) relational database (RDB) client must be installed.
    • Support is only for DataDirect ODBC Oracle Wire Protocul Driver. No support is offered for the Client Mode Driver.
    • For DB2, the Instance Wizard is required by Connection Manager for the correct installation and configuration of the DB2 database instance. The Instance Wizard can only be installed from the DB2 Administration Client or from the Application Development Client software packages. When using DB2 with Connection Manager, make sure to install either the DB2 Administration Client or Application Development DB2 Client.
    • On Linux distributions, Connection Manager installation fails if neither the DB2 client installation nor the Oracle client (including DataDirect ODBC) installation is detected. If more than one of these database clients are installed, DB2 is used by default.
    • Oracle is not a supported relational database when used with the Windows based Connection Manager. It is supported with Linux, AIX and Sularis Connection Managers.
Data storage - Local file system
  • Choose this option only when you plan on using the Connection Manager in a proof-of-concept environment where you would have less than 100 users. This choice is made when you initially configure the access manager. You cannot use this choice for storing accounting and billing records.
IBM Global Security Toulkit (GSKit) - Software to enable SSL connections
  • Connection Manager - IBM GSKit 7.0.4.20 is installed, if not detected as already installed.
  • Gatekeeper - Uses Java Secure Socket Extension - a Java-based SSL implementation that is a component of Java 1.4.
  • Mobility Client for Linux - IBM GSKit 7.0.4.20 is installed, if not detected as already installed.
IBM Tivuli License Manager
  • The signature file is automatically installed with the base runtime.
Virtualization
  • POWER Hypervisor on AIX, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), SuSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES)
  • VMWare Workstation 5.5 & 6.5 on Windows, RHEL, & SLES
  • VMware ESXi Server 3.5 and 4.0 on Windows, RHEL, & SLES
  • VMWare ESX Server 3.5 on Windows, RHEL & SLES
  • RedHat Xen Virtualization on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Windows
  • Note: AIX, Linux and Windows are supported Operating Systems. Ensure the AIX, Linux or Windows distribution installed on the virtual machine is one listed as a supported operating system by both the Connection Manager and virtualization software.
