Micro Focus recommends the verified components described in the following section. However, customers running on any component not provided in this list or with untested configurations will be supported until the point Micro Focus determines that the root cause is the untested component or configuration. Issues that can be reproduced on the verified component will be prioritized and fixed according to standard defect-handling policies. For more information about support polices, see Support Policies.
Ensure that the systems you install and use with Identity Governance meet the hardware and software requirements listed here.
This section provides the minimum requirements for the servers where you want to install Identity Governance. You can install Identity Governance and the required components in different configurations. For more information, see Section 2.3, Recommended Production Environment Installation Scenarios.
These system requirements provide server settings according to the size of your Identity Governance catalog. In a small catalog, you might collect fewer than 100,000 identities with 100,000 permissions and 80,000 groups.

For information about the different options on how to create and populate the different Identity Governance databases, see Section 5.0, Creating Databases for Identity Governance and Identity Reporting.
Identity Reporting is a separate product that comes with Identity Governance that provides detailed reports about your business-critical processes and systems. It is optional to install Identity Reporting. If you determine that you will install Identity Reporting, you install it after you have completed the Identity Governance installation.
This section lists the requirements for the server that hosts Identity Reporting when installing only for Identity Governance. For more information about whether to install the components on the same server, see Section 2.3, Recommended Production Environment Installation Scenarios.
Identity Reporting comes with Identity Manager and Identity Governance, however, the reports provided are different if you install the version that comes with Identity Manager than the version of Identity Reporting that comes with Identity Governance. There are different requirements if you want to install Identity Reporting in an Identity Manager environment. For more information about the system requirements for installing in an Identity Manager environment that includes Identity Governance, see System Requirements for Identity Manager.

Identity Governance generates the common event format (CEF) events which you can forward to an audit server to generate audit logs that can help prove compliance with regulations. Enabling auditing in Identity Governance is optional.
If you decide to use auditing, you must have your audit server installed and running. Identity Governance does not install the third-party audit servers for you. This section provides the minimum version of the audit servers where you want to send audit events from Identity Governance. We support the following audit servers using syslogger for use with Identity Governance:
ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager Suite 7.0.1 or later patched versions of 7.0.x
Sentinel 8.2.1 or later patched versions of 8.2.x
Sentinel Log Manager 8.2.3 or later patched versions of 8.2.x
Splunk 7.3.0-657388c7a488 or later patched versions of 7.3.x
To determine where you should install the audit server, see Section 2.3, Recommended Production Environment Installation Scenarios. You can enable auditing during the installation of the components or you can enable auditing after you have installed the components. It depends on your environment and your needs.
Identity Governance can send email notifications to managers, reviewers, administrators, or other people who must receive notifications about events or processes occurring. To be able to send emails and ensure that there are not any lapses in communication, you can install Apache ActiveMQ to guarantee that Identity Governance sends notifications using SMTP. Enabling email notifications is optional. If you choose to enable email notifications, Identity Governance supports the following:
Apache ActiveMQ 5.15.9, 5.15.12, or later patched versions of 5.15.x
Download from the Apache ActiveMQ website
ActiveMQ requires Apache Tomcat to run. You must install ActiveMQ using the same Apache Tomcat that Identity Governance uses. You can enable email notification during the installation of Identity Governance or Identity Reporting or you can enable email notifications after the installation. It depends on your environment and your needs.
