Description 

Operating environment 

i-Planet 2.0 software runs in the Solaris(TM) 2.5.1, 2.6, and Solaris 7 operating environments. The basic firewall application provided and Security Dynamics' ACE software do not run under Solaris 7.

System 

i-Planet 2.0 software ideally uses two machines: one server to function as a gateway between the Internet and your internal network ("the i-Planet gateway") and one server to function as a platform and applications server ("the i-Planet server"). 

  • Machine type: a dual CPU Ultra 60 with 300 MHz is recommended for both the i-Planet gateway and for the i-Planet server.

  • Memory: the i-Planet gateway and the i-Planet server should each have a minimum of 128 Mbytes of memory.

  • Disk space: the i-Planet gateway should have a minimum of 40 Mbytes of free disk space; the i-Planet server should have a minimum of 50 Mbytes of free disk space.

Browser 

A browser (Netscape Navigator(TM) 4.04 or higher, Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher) and an Internet connection are required for a remote client to connect to the i-Planet server, and for the system administrator to use the Administration Console.

Patches required from Sun Microsystems before using the Java(TM) Development Kit (JDK(TM)) in the Solaris 2.5.1 operating environment include: Patch No. 103566-08 or later (X11/OpenWindows(TM) patch) and Patch No. 103640-08 or later (kernel patch).
