2.0 Planning to Install Identity Governance

To run the Identity Governance product, you need the following components:

  • Databases for Identity Governance and Identity Reporting

    You can use Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, or Oracle.

  • An application server

    Identity Governance requires Apache Tomcat.

  • One SSO Provider (OSP)

  • LDAP authentication server (NetIQ eDirectory or Microsoft Active Directory)

  • (Optional) ActiveMQ

  • (Optional) Identity Reporting

  • (Optional) Audit Server

You can get the components from the NetIQ Downloads site. For your convenience, Apache ActiveMQ, Apache Tomcat and PostgreSQL are bundled in the same installation program. Oracle Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) is installed if Tomcat, ActiveMQ, or both are installed. If you already have the appropriate versions of PostgreSQL, ActiveMQ and Tomcat, you do not need to install the applications again. For a list of the appropriate versions to use with Identity Governance, see Hardware and Software Requirements.
