At the time of installation, you must specify a valid path for the JDK. To use the JDK version that is not co-packaged with the product, download the software from the following location:
JDK version 1.6.0: http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
JDK version 1.5.0: http://www.hp.com/products1/unix/java/java2/jdkjre5_0/index.html
When you use JDK 1.5.0 on AIX platform, Administration server may fail to start and displays an error message “Unable to find/open the administration server's certificate database”. This is due to the restricted security policy on the installed JDK and limiting key size.
For more information about security information on SDKs, see: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/security/50/
You can overcome this problem by downloading unrestricted security policy by clicking on “ IBM SDK Policy files”. The downloaded zip file is unpacked and the two JAR files are placed in the JRE directory (jre/lib/security/).
