Important Considerations Before Installation

Be aware of the following:

The Policy Server install requires 200 MB of free space in /tmp.
If you are installing the Policy Server using telnet or other terminal emulation software, complete the installation using a console window, as described in Run the Installation Script Using a UNIX Console Window. If you do not, the installer throws an Java exception and exits if you try to run a GUI through a telnet window.
Running the Policy Server installer or Policy Server Configuration Wizard using an Exceed X-windows application can cause text in the dialog box to truncate due to unavailable fonts using Exceed. This limitation has no affect on the Policy Server installation or configuration.
Be sure that you use the correct installation program on Red Hat Advanced Server (AS) for Linux. For Red Hat AS 3.0, use nete-ps-6.0-sp6-rhel30.bin.
To avoid possible policy store corruption, be sure that the server on which the policy store will reside is configured to store objects in UTF-8 form. For more information on configuring your server to store objects in UTF-8 form, see the documentation for that server.
