How to Install the Policy Server

To install the Policy Server, complete the following steps:

1. Review the Policy Server component considerations.
2. Review the Policy Store considerations.
3. Review the FIPS considerations.
4. Gather information for the Policy Server installer.
5. Run the Policy Server installer.
6. Verify the Policy Server installation.
7. (Optional) Restart the SNMP daemon.
8. (Optional) Configure the policy store.

   Note: A SOA Security Manager environment must contain at least one policy store. This step is optional only if you plan on using the Policy Server installer to automatically configure an ADAM or Sun One LDAP directory server as the policy store. Otherwise, you must configure a policy store in a supported LDAP directory server or relational database.
