Install a WebSphere Application Server

Install a supported version of WebSphere and the JRE or JDK it requires.

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

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

   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.

2. Install the required version JDK or JRE before installing the Identity Manager Server.
