For the Instant Messaging Core subcomponent, Access Manager is required, but not necessarily a local copy. For the Instant Messaging Resources subcomponent, the Access Manager SDK must be local to Instant Messaging. Access Manager requires a web container, which can be remote. If you use Access Manager, Directory Server is required, but not necessarily a local copy. If you are using Access Manager with Instant Messaging, you must also use Access Manager SDK.
You must use Access Manager Legacy (6.x) installation type if you are installing Access Manager with Portal Server, Messaging Server, Calendar Server, Delegated Administrator, or Instant Messaging. Access Manager Realm (7.x) installation type can only be used if you are not installing any of these components.
The installer does not automatically select components that Instant Messaging depends on. You are responsible for selecting these components.
If you are deploying other components with Instant Messaging, the other components must be configured before configuring Instant Messaging.
Java ES components that are commonly deployed with Instant Messaging include Messaging Server, Calendar Server, and Portal Server (with Access Manager).
