Access Manager Session Failover Requirements

If you are planning to implement Access Manager session failover, these components are required:

• Web container to run Access Manager: Sun Java System Web Server, Sun Java System Application Server, IBM WebSphere Application Server, or BEA WebLogic.

• Sun Java System Directory Server. All Access Manager instances must access the same Directory Server.

• Sun Java System Message Queue. The Message Queue broker cluster manages the session messages between Access Manager instances and the session store database.

• Berkeley DB by Sleepycat Software, Inc. (http://www.sleepycat.com/) is the default session store database. Use the version that is distributed with the Sun Java Enterprise System 2005Q4 release.

Access Manager session failover is supported on the following platforms:

• Solaris^TM OS, SPARC® based systems, versions 8, 9, and 10

• Solaris^TM OS on x86 platforms, versions 9 and 10

• Red Hat^TM Linux, Advanced Server and Enterprise Server

For the latest information about the supported versions of these platforms and components, see the Sun Java System Access Manager 7 2005Q4 Release Notes.
