Agent Guide › Install the SiteMinder Agent for WebLogic › Software Requirements

Software Requirements

Install supported versions of required software before you install the SiteMinder Agent.

For a complete list of supported software, operating systems, Java environments, and prerequisite CA product versions, see the SiteMinder Agent for Application Servers Platform Support Matrix on the Technical Support site.

Requirements for all installations

Supported versions of the following software must be installed and properly configured before you install the SiteMinder Agent:

• Oracle WebLogic Server and any cumulative fixes for this application server. For WebLogic hardware and software requirements, see the WebLogic documentation.
• A supported Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is installed and the path to the JRE is present in your environment. For example, on UNIX systems, if your JRE is not in the PATH variable, run these commands:

  PATH=$PATH:JRE/bin

  export PATH

  • JRE

    Specifies the location of the Java Runtime Environment.

  Note: For a list of supported JREs, see the SiteMinder support matrix on the Technical Support site.

• SiteMinder Policy Server (typically on a different system in production environments).

Requirements for installations featuring advanced authentication

To use the SiteMinder Identity Asserter to challenge web requests that do not include a valid SiteMinder session cookie for credentials using advanced (other than Basic) authentication schemes, a supported SiteMinder Web Agent must also be installed.

Note: The SiteMinder Policy Server and Web Agent (where applicable) can be installed on different systems than the WebLogic Server.
