Requirements for a Distributed Authentication UI Server Deployment

Requirements for a Distributed Authentication UI server deployment include:

• The Distributed Authentication UI server must be installed in one of these web containers:

  • Sun Java System Application Server

  • Sun Java System Web Server

  • BEA WebLogic Server

  • IBM WebSphere Application Server

  For the specific versions supported of each web container, see the Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1 Release Notes.

• A Distributed Authentication UI server must use the same password encryption key as the Access Manager server instances in the deployment.

Several other considerations for a Distributed Authentication UI server include:

• If you are deploying multiple Distributed Authentication UI servers behind a load balancer, stickiness is not required for the load balancer to talk to only one Distributed Authentication UI server for authentication process completion.

• The HTTP Basic and MSISDN authentication modules are not supported through the Distributed Authentication UI.
