Administrative UI Requirements

Ensure that you meet the following directory server and/or database requirements before Installing the Administrative UI:

• Object store—The Administrative UI is an asynchronous application that is event and task-based. The object store stores this information. A supported version of either MS SQL Server or Oracle is required to function as an object store.

  Important! If you are using WebSphere as an application server and MS SQL Server 2005 for the object store, enable XA transactions in MS SQL Server 2005 before installing the Administrative UI or the installation fails. More information exists in How to Enable XA on MS SQL 2005.

• Administrator user store—The Administrative UI authenticates SOA Security Manager administrator accounts using an administrator user store. A supported version of either an LDAP directory server or a relational database is required to function as the administrator user store.

Note: All of your administrator accounts must be stored in a single administrator user store. If you are upgrading to r12.1, you may use an existing user store as an administrator store.
