System Requirements

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.

Make sure you have the following components installed on your machine:

• Memory: 512 MB RAM
• Free disk space: 300 MB free disk space and 200 MB free disk space in /tmp.

  Note: Typically, 10 MB or less free disk space in /tmp is required for the daily operation of the Policy Server. The Policy Server creates files and named pipes under /tmp. The path to which these files and pipes are created cannot be changed.

• Screen resolution: 800 x 600 or higher resolution with 256 colors or better to properly view the Policy Server User Interface. Web browsers running on a display with less than 256 colors cannot properly display the Policy Server User Interface.
• JRE: Make sure you have the required JRE version installed. For the required version, search for the SiteMinder Platform Matrix for 6.0 on the Technical Support site. You can download the latest JRE version at the Sun Developer Network (SDN).

Note: To run the OneView Monitor user interface, you need the required version of Java SDK and ServletExec/AS for UNIX installed. For the required versions, search for the SiteMinder Platform Matrix for 6.0 on the Technical Support site. You also need ServletExec for Password and Registration Services.
