Required Information

Gather the following required information before running the Policy Server installer or the Configuration wizard. You can use the Required Information Worksheet to record your values.

• JRE location—Identify the folder in which the installer can locate the supported JRE and ensure that the JRE is set correctly in the PATH variable. The installer cannot locate the JRE if the JRE is not set correctly in the PATH variable.
• Policy Server Installation location—Determine where the installer should install the Policy Server.
• Browser executable location—Identify the folder in which the installer can locate a supported web browser. Only required for access to the FSS Administrative UI.
• Encryption key value—Determine the encryption key value. An encryption key is a case-sensitive, alphanumeric key that secures data sent between the Policy Server and the policy store. All Policy Servers that share a policy store must be configured using the same encryption key. For stronger protection, define a long encryption key.
