Install WebSphere

CA Identity Manager 12.6.5 works with Websphere 8.5.x. If you need a new version of the IBM WebSphere, install the WebSphere server as described in IBM’s documentation. During the installation, perform these actions:

• Select the appropriate plug-in for your Web Server.
• Select the Server and Client options.
• Install the latest FixPack to the server and the required JDK.

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

When you create Websphere cell and node names, remember they are case sensitive in all operating systems. Please confirm that these names are in the correct case when you install CA Identity Manager.

Set the Sun Reference Implementation as the JSF Implementation Container

Before you install CA Identity Manager, you must set the Sun Reference Implementation as the JSF Implementation container. If you have already installed CA Identity Manager, do not open the user console before completing this task.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the WebSphere management console, and browse to the Enterprise Applications section.
2. Select an application you manage. You can choose any application.
3. From the Configuration pane, select JSP and JSF options under Web Module Properties.
4. Under JSF implementation, select your Sun Reference implementation, and apply the change.
5. Restart your WebSphere application server for the changes to take effect.
