Install a WebSphere Application Server

To use IBM WebSphere as the application server for CA Identity Manager, install the WebSphere server as described in IBM's documentation.

Note: For a complete list of supported platforms and versions, see the CA Identity Manager support matrix on CA Support.

When installing the WebSphere server, select the following components during the installation:

• The appropriate plug-in for your Web Server.
• WebSphere 6.1 uses default messaging.
• For all WebSphere versions, be sure to select the Server and Client option.

Important! We recommend that you disable security at profile creation. For example, create a WebSphere 6.1 profile with the Security Enabled option unchecked.
