The hardware and software requirements for OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 described in this section represent the only environments in which it can be deployed with full support from Sun Microsystems. No support is provided for environments that do not meet the stated requirements.
Sun Microsystems assumes no responsibility or liability for any environments that don't adhere to supported hardware and software requirements for OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 as documented. Sun strongly recommends that you involve the Sun Professional Services organization before you begin the installation and deployment process. This may require additional expense on your part.
If you plan to use the OpenSSO configuration data store, you must deploy OpenSSO Enterprise on a local file system and not on an NFS-mounted file system. The OpenSSO configuration data store, which is deployed with OpenSSO Enterprise, is not supported on an NFS-mounted file system.

OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 |
Supported JDK Version |
---|---|
Server |
JDK 1.5.x or 1.6.x 64-bit JVM on supported web containers Solaris virtual memory requirements. For Solaris systems, configure at least twice as much virtual memory as the JVM heap size, especially when the JVM is configured in 64–bit mode with over 4 GB for the heap size. Therefore, you might need to increase the operating system swap space. |
Client (OpenSSO SDK) |
JDK 1.4.x, 1.5.x. or JDK 1.6.x |
Data Store Type |
Supported Data Stores |
---|---|
Configuration data store (also referred to as the Service Management data store) |
|
User data store |
|
Caution: Sun Java System Directory Server 6.2 is not recommended. For more information, see http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-66-235361-1. |

Component |
Requirement |
---|---|
OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 |
Two or more OpenSSO Enterprise instances must be running on different host servers and configured as a site behind a load balancer. The load balancer does not have any specific requirements. However, a load balancer that supports cookie-based sticky configuration usually provides better performance. |
Sun Java System Message Queue 4.1 |
Message Queue brokers must be running in cluster mode on different servers. |
Oracle Berkeley DB 4.6.18 |
The Berkeley DB client and database must be deployed on the same servers as the Message Queue brokers. You can deploy the Message Queue brokers and Berkeley DB on the same servers that are running the OpenSSO Enterprise instances. However, for improved performance, consider installing the brokers on different servers. |
For more information, see Chapter 8, Implementing OpenSSO Enterprise Session Failover, in Sun OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 Installation and Configuration Guide.
Policy Agent Version |
OpenSSO Enterprise Support |
---|---|
Version 3.0 policy agents |
OpenSSO Enterprise supports new version 3.0 J2EE and web policy agents, including new version 3.0 features. For more information, including the available version 3.0 agents, see http://docs.sun.com/coll/1767.1. |
Version 2.2 policy agents |
OpenSSO Enterprise supports version 2.2 J2EE and web policy agents. However, when deployed with OpenSSO Enterprise, a version 2.2 policy agent must continue to use version 2.2 features. For example, the agent must store its configuration data locally in its AMAgent.properties file, and OpenSSO Enterprise centralized agent configuration is not supported. For more information, including the available version 2.2 agents, see http://docs.sun.com/coll/1322.1. |
Version 2.1 policy agents |
OpenSSO Enterprise does not support version 2.1 policy agents. |
Database |
OpenSSO Enterprise Requirements |
---|---|
MySQL |
MySQL version 4.1.1 or later, because the OpenSSO Enterprise logger uses the MySQL STR_TO_DATE function. Note: The Solaris 10 OS includes MySQL Server 4.0.37, so you must upgrade this MySQL version to use OpenSSO Enterprise database logging. |
