Administrative UI Installation Requirements

System Requirements

The following sections detail the minimum system requirements for installing the Administrative UI using the stand-alone installation option.

Note: For a list of supported CA and third-party components, refer to the CA SiteMinder® 12.51 Platform Support Matrix on the Technical Support site.

Verify the Windows UI Host System Requirements

A Windows Administrative UI host system for a stand–alone installation must meet the following minimum system requirements:

• CPU—x86 or x64, 1.2 GHz or better.
• Memory—1 GB of system RAM. We recommend 2 GB.
• Available disk space—840 MB.
• Temp directory space—3 GB.
• Screen resolution—1024 x 768 or higher resolution with 256 colors or better to view the Administrative UI properly.

Use the Platform Support Matrix to verify that the operating environment and other required third-party components are supported.

Verify the UNIX UI Host System Requirements

A UNIX Administrative UI host system for the stand–alone installation must meet the following minimum system requirements::

• CPU
  • Solaris—UltraSparc, 440 MHz or better.
  • Red Hat Linux—x86 or x64, 700 MHz or better.

    Note: The Red Hat 6 operating system relies on entropy for performance. Before you install the component, increase entropy. Otherwise, the installation takes an exceedingly long time, and the Administrative UI responses slow down during runtime.

    Use the following commands:

    mv /dev/random /dev/random.org
    ln -s /dev/urandom /dev/random
    

• Memory—1 GB of system RAM. We recommend 2 GB.
• Available disk space—840 MB.
• Temp directory space—3 GB.
• Screen resolution—1024 x 768 or higher resolution with 256 colors or better to view the Administrative UI properly.

Use the Platform Support Matrix to verify that the operating environment and other required third-party components are supported.

Required Linux Libraries

Certain library files are required for components operating on Linux operating environments. Failure to install the correct libraries can cause the following error:

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError 

If you are installing, configuring, or upgrading a Linux version of this component, the following libraries are required on the host system:

Red Hat 5.x

compat–gcc-34-c++-3.4.6-patch_version.I386

Red Hat 6.x (32-bit)

libstdc++-4.4.6-3.el6.i686.rpm

To have the appropriate 32-bit C run–time library for your operating environment, install the previous rpm.
