This section describes the prerequisites needed to install the BEA AquaLogic Enterprise Security Administration Server, including system requirements, and prerequisite software and hardware. It does not include information for installing a Security Service Module, for which see Installing Security Service Modules.
The Administration Server requires certain software components to operate properly. Review these requirements carefully before installing the product.
Table 3-1 lists the system requirements for the Administration Server.
| Note: | The machine on which you install the Administration Server must have a static IP address. The IP address is used by the Security Service Modules and Service Control Manager for connectivity. Also, on a Windows platform, the file system must be configured for NTFS and not FAT. |
AquaLogic Enterprise Security Administration Server requires that you install one of the following servlet containers prior to installing the product:

BEA AquaLogic Enterprise Security uses an implementation of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.0 specification (see TLS Protocol). The server hosting the AquaLogic Enterprise Security Administration Server supports TLS on a dedicated listen port that defaults to 7010. To establish a secure connection, a Web browser connects to the Administration Server by supplying the listen port and the secure address (HTTPS) in the connection URL, for example,
https://myserver:7010.

Optionally, you can use Log4j to configure a reporting application to support auditing features. For further information on how to use Log4j with the Administration Server, see:
http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/docs/.

If you are using Apache Tomcat, the user performing the ALES installation must have permission to access the Apache Tomcat directory. Therefore, when you install the Apache Tomcat, you should specify this user as the User Name on the Apache Tomcat Setup: Configuration Options page or assign access permission to this user.
You can use Apache Tomcat with JDK 1.4 or JDK 1.5. Note the following:
If you use Tomcat with JDK 1.4, you must also install the JDK 1.4 Compatability Package, which is required by Tomcat 5.5 and which you can find on the Tomcat 5.5 download page.
If you use Tomcat with JDK 1.5, then you need to edit the BEA_HOME/ales22-admin/config/WLESTomcat.conf file to add the following parameter:
-Djavax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory=com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl
Otherwise Tomcat will use the org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl class, resulting in an exception when you attempt to log in to the ALES Administration Console.
The product software cannot be used without a valid license. When you install the Administration Server, the installation program creates an evaluation license that expires in 90 days.
To use the Administration Server in a production environment, you must purchase a license. For information about purchasing a license, contact your BEA Sales Representative.
If you are installing the Administration Server on a computer on which the Administration Server was previously installed, refer to Uninstalling and make sure all of the uninstall steps were completed; otherwise the installation may fail.
