ACE Management Server Administrator's Manual
Supported External Databases
An SQLite database engine is embedded in the ACE Management Server. Although this
database is adequate for testing purposes, use one of the following external databases
in production environments:
Windows‐based servers – Microsoft SQL Server 2000 or higher;
Oracle Database 10g
If you use a Microsoft SQL Server database, the database must be hosted on a
system that uses the same locale as the system that hosts ACE Management Server.
For example, if ACE Management Server is installed on a Japanese system, the
database server must also be installed on a Japanese system and must use Japanese
collation.
Linux‐based servers – PostgreSQL 7.4 or higher; Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Advanced Server 4.5 or higher.
Supported Proxies
You can deploy ACE Management Server with the following HTTPS proxy solutions:
Apache Proxy – Using mod_proxy
Zeus Technology Load Balancer – A commercially available load balancer and
traffic management solution
Required Web Browsers
The browser‐based ACE Management Server Setup application and the VMware ACE
Help Desk application require one of the following Web browsers:
Mozilla Firefox 1.52 or higher
Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher
Licensing
You must configure the server and enter the serial number in the server setup Web
application. If you do not, you cannot connect to the server in Workstation.
Your serial number is on the registration card in your package. If you purchased
VMware ACE online, the serial number is sent by email. Workstation and ACE
instances cannot connect to an ACE Management Server with an expired or nonexistent
license.
