Technology Notes

1. DSEE 6.3.1 and web containers.

   The Directory Server Control Center component of Directory Server Enterprise Edition must be deployed to a web container. It supports deployment on GlassFish Enterprise Server and Apache Tomcat (part of GlassFish Web Stack), but does not support deployment on Web Server. Because the other components of Directory Server Enterprise Edition do not interact with web containers, interoperability of them with web containers is not an issue.

2. Cohabitation of web servers, containers, and proxies.

   When installing any two web servers, containers, or proxies on the same system, you must ensure that no port conflicts arise as a result of the two products trying to provide the same listener service on an industry-standard port, such as an HTTP listener service bound to port 80. This potential port conflict arising from cohabitation applies to these products:

   • GlassFish Enterprise Server

   • Web Proxy Server

   • Web Server

   • GlassFish Web Stack (several components, including Apache Server and Apache Tomcat)

3. IDM 8.1 or JCAPS 6.2 and WS 7.0U6.

   Neither Identity Manager nor Java CAPS support Web Server as a web container. However, services and administrative interfaces for both products can be available through the reverse proxy plug-in feature of Web Server, provided that the services and administrative interfaces are deployed on a supported web container.
