Install Prerequisite Software

Before you install CA Identity Manager, do the following:

1. On the system where you plan to install the Identity Manager Server.
   • Install the application server
   • Install a supported Java Development Kit (JDK) or Java Runtime Environment (JRE) for CA Identity Manager on the application server system.

     If you are installing on a 64-bit operating system, be sure the JDK or JRE is the 64-bit version.

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

2. Install CA Directory on the system where you plan to install the Provisioning Directory. A supported version of CA Directory is included on your installation media.

   For details on installation, download the CA Directory documentation from the support site. When the installer asks about installing DXadmind for DXManager, you can safely uncheck this option. The Provisioning Directory does not use DXManager.

3. Install a second copy of CA Directory on the system where you plan to install the Provisioning Server. This installation is for routing purposes, so that the Provisioning Server can communicate with the remote Provisioning Directory.

Important! We recommend that you disable all antivirus software before installation. If antivirus software is enabled while installation takes place, problems can occur. Remember to re-enable your antivirus protection after you complete the installation.
