• Web Browser requirements:
  • Netscape Communicator 4.76 or later

  • Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 SP2 (Service Pack 2)

Hardware Requirements

The hardware requirements are similar to the iPlanet Web Server's hardware requirements. The following are the minimum system requirements for:

• A minimum of 128 MB RAM.

• A minimum of 150 MB hard disk space for the installed server files, although double (2x) this amount is required during the installation process. After installation you can remove the installer files.

Product Limitations

• Cannot upgrade from an older version of the iPlanet Delegated Administrator. Instead, you need to uninstall the previous version of iPlanet Delegated Administrator and install the version of the product bundled with the new version of Messaging Server that you install.

• Will only work with user or group entries provisioned using the iPlanet Delegated Administrator command line interface, the iPlanet Delegated Administrator GUI, or the iPlanet Messaging Server Provisioning Guide. Follow the guidelines in the Provisioning Guide to upgrade existing entries for use with the iPlanet Delegated Administrator.

• If you are migrating your mail server from SIMS or Netscape Messaging Server to iPlanet Messaging Server, iPlanet Delegated Administrator for Messaging and Collaboration will work with your user or group entries, provided that you follow the migration process outlined in the iPlanet Messaging Server Migration Guide.

• If your Messaging Server deployment has separate Configuration and User/Group directories, the iPlanet Delegated Administrator configuration cannot be stored in a separate directory from the User/Group directory. Instead, the Delegated Administrator configuration must be stored in the User/Group directory.
