WebSphere Application Server
When using WebSphere as the CA Identity Manager application server, note the following:
- The Identity Manager Server is a J2EE application that is deployed on a supported application server.
- If you are installing CA Identity Manager on Solaris, run the installation as root.
- When using WebSphere on Windows, be sure that your Admin username is less than 12 characters long. If you have a username that is 12 characters or greater, CA Identity Manager will not work. For example, the username "Administrator" is greater than 12 characters and will cause CA Identity Manager to fail.
- Be sure to install WebSphere in a directory pathname that contains no spaces.
- The Application Server connects to the Provisioning Server and other servers by SSL. See the Application Server documentation for information on configuring SSL, including information on certificates and keys.
