System Requirements

The Policy Server on Windows requires an Intel Pentium III or better.

Before you install the Policy Server, make sure you are using a supported operating system and third-party software. For a list of supported operating systems, Web Servers, databases, Web browsers, LDAP Directory Servers, and servlet engines, go to the Technical Support site and search for the SiteMinder Platform Matrix for 6.0.

Note: For Internet Explorer 5.5, make sure you have SP2 since SP1 cannot post data greater than 4072 bytes.

In addition, make sure you have the following components installed on your computer:

• Memory: 512 MB system RAM (minimum).
• Hard disk space: 270 MB free disk space in the install location and 180 MB of free space in the system’s temporary file location. These requirements are based on a medium size policy database (about 1,000 policies).
• Screen resolution: 800 x 600 or higher resolution with 256 colors or better to properly view the Policy Server User Interface.
• JRE: Make sure you have the required JRE version. For the required version, search for the SiteMinder Platform Matrix for 6.0 on the Technical Support site. You can download the latest version at the Sun Developer Network (SDN).

Note: To run the OneView Monitor user interface, make sure you have the required Java SDK and Servlet Exec/ISAPI for Windows. For the required versions, search for the SiteMinder Platform Matrix for 6.0 on the Technical Support site. You also need ServletExec for JSP Password and Registration Services.
