Required Programs And Dependencies - Red Hat CERTIFICATE SYSTEM 7.2 - ADMINISTRATION Administration Manual

Chapter 2. Installation and Configuration

2.2.2. Required Programs and Dependencies

The following must be installed before installing the Certificate System:
• Java™ 1.5.0 Java Runtime Environment (JRE). Certificate System does not support earlier versions
of the JRE. This JRE is required for running Tomcat, among other applications for the Certificate
System.
• On 32-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 platforms, Certificate System 7.2 requires the 32-bit version
of the IBM JRE 1.5.0. A pre-packaged binary distribution of this package, the java-1.5.0-ibm
rpm package, is available through either the Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (v. 4 for x86) Extras
Red Hat Network channel or the Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (v. 4 for x86) Extras Red Hat
Network channel.
A similar package is available for 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 platforms. This package is
available through either the Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (v. 4 for AMD64/EM64T) Extras Red
Hat Network channel or the Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (v. 4 for AMD64/EM64T) Extras Red
Hat Network channel.
As root, run /usr/sbin/alternatives --config java to insure that the IBM Java™
1.5.0 JRE is selected.
Warning
Both the 32-bit xSeries (Intel-compatible) and 64-bit AMD/Opteron/EM64T versions of
the IBM J2SE JRE 5.0 RPM packages available through the IBM download site are
packaged in a format which is incompatible with Certificate System 7.2.
• For 64-bit Solaris 9 (SPARC) platforms, the user must download and install the latest version
of the 64-bit Sun J2SE Java™ Runtime Environment 5.0 (Update 9) available from the Sun
download site, http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp.
IMPORTANT
The 64-bit Solaris version of the Certificate System requires the user to install the
32-bit version of the JRE as well as installing the 64-bit version. The 32-bit version
is used for the applet and Java™ Web Start support. Read
j2se/1.5.0/README.html, http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/ReleaseNotes.html, and
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/jre/install-solaris-64.html
System.
Under the section Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 9, Sun only makes this JRE
available through a self-extracting file which is incompatible with Certificate System since this
format does not use the native Solaris packaging utility database.
It is possible to obtain the Sun 5.0 JRE in a compatible format. Click Download under the JDK
5.0 Update 9 section, and, under Solaris SPARC Platform - J2SETM Development Kit
5.0 Update 9, select Solaris SPARC 32-bit packages - tar.Z (jdk-1_5_0_09-
solaris-sparc.tar.Z) and Solaris SPARC 64-bit packages - tar.Z (use
32-bit version for applet and Java Web Start support) (jdk-1_5_0_09-
solaris-sparcv9.tar.Z).
