Before You Begin

Before you install the Policy Server, complete the following procedures, if applicable:

Create a new UNIX account.
Modify the UNIX system parameters, if necessary.
Unset the localization variables, if necessary.
Install the documentation.
(Linux) Be sure that the required Linux libraries are installed to the Policy Server host system. For more information, see Required Linux Libraries.
(IBM Directory Server) If you are using IBM Directory Servers in your SiteMinder environment, edit the V3.matchingrules file by adding the following line:
```
MatchingRules=(2.5.13.15 NAME ‘integerOrderingMatch’ SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.27
```
The Directory store will not be configured correctly and the necessary SiteMinder objects will not be created if the V3.matchingrules file does not contain the change.
Stop the web server instance to allow the installation program to configure the Policy Server User Interface.
Trim the pre–SiteMinder system path to approximately 700 characters. The Policy Server installation fails if the system path length exceeds 1024 characters, including or excluding the directories SiteMinder adds.

Note: The Policy Server and Documentation installations each modify environment variables.
