Install JBoss

CA IdentityMinder 12.6.2 works with JBoss 5.0 and 5.1 Enterprise Application Platform (EAP), 5.1 Open Source and JBoss 6.1 (EAP). Therefore, install a new version of JBoss if your version is before 5.0. You can install new version on the same system as the previous version, but in a different file location from the previous version. Also, install the JDK identified in the support matrix as supporting your version of JBoss.

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

When using JBoss as the application server, note the following points:

• The CA IdentityMinder Server is a J2EE application that is deployed on a supported application server.

  For JBoss 5, the iam_im.ear is deployed in the jboss_home/server/default/deploy folder. For a clustered installation, iam_im.ear is under jboss_home/server/all/deploy.

  For JBoss 6.1, the iam_im.ear is deployed in the jboss_home/standalone/deployments folder.

  Important! If any datastore file in the deploy directory is modified, JBoss loses the connection to that datastore and should be restarted.

• Install the required version of the JDK before installing the CA IdentityMinder Server. You can download the JDK from the following Oracle URL:
