2.5 Identity Server Requirements

The Identity Server is the second component you install, and it can be installed on Linux or Windows:

Clients that authenticate directly to the Identity Server can use any browser or operating system.

2.5.1 Linux Requirements

The Linux machine requires the following hardware and software:

  • 4 GB RAM.

  • Dual CPU or Core (3.0 GHz or comparable chip).

  • 100 GB hard disk.

    This amount is recommended to ensure ample space for logging in a production environment. This disk space must be local and not remote.

  • SLES 11 SP2 or SP3 64-bit operating system or RHEL versions 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, or 6.5 64-bit.

    RHEL: Ensure that the following rpms or higher versions are installed:

    • glibc-2.12-1.25.el6_1.3.i686.rpm

    • libgcc-4.4.5-6.el6.i686.rpm

    • libstdc++-4.4.5-6.el6.i686.rpm

    • ncurses-libs-5.7-3.20090208.el6.i686.rpm

    • nss-softokn-freebl-3.12.9-3.el6.i686.rpm

      Use the following command to install rpm:

      rpm -ivh | <rpm name>
      

      Use the following command to verify:

      rpm -qa | grep <rpm name>
      

    For more information about dependent RPMs and how to install these, see Installing Packages and Dependent RPMs on RHEL for Access Manager.

  • Because of library update conflicts, you cannot install Access Manager on a Linux User Management machine.

  • gettext

  • python (interpreter)

  • Static IP address.

  • No LDAP software, such as eDirectory or OpenLDAP, can be installed. (A default installation of SLES installs and enables OpenLDAP.)

For installation instructions, see Section 4.0, Installing the NetIQ Identity Server.

2.5.2 Windows Requirements

The Windows machine requires the following software and hardware:

  • 4 GB RAM.

  • Dual CPU or Core (3.0 Ghz or comparable chip).

  • 100 GB hard disk.

    This amount is recommended to ensure ample space for logging in a production environment. This disk space must be local and not remote.

  • Windows Server 2008 R2, 64-bit operating system, in either Standard or Enterprise Edition, with the latest patches applied

  • No LDAP software, such as eDirectory or OpenLDAP, can be installed.

  • Static IP address.

For installation instructions, see Section 4.0, Installing the NetIQ Identity Server.
