Description |
---|---|
File system |
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. |
Web container |
One of the following web containers must be running on the host server where you plan to deploy OpenSSO Enterprise:
Note: These web container versions and any subsequent updates to the version are supported. For more information about supported versions and open issues for each web container, see the Sun OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 Release Notes. |
Configuration Data Store |
OpenSSO Enterprise requires a data store for its configuration data, which you select when you run the GUI or command-line Configurator:
|
User Data Store |
OpenSSO Enterprise also requires a data store for its user data:
|
Password encryption key |
If you deploying OpenSSO Enterprise in a multiple server deployment, you must use the same password encryption key value for each OpenSSO Enterprise instance. Copy the encryption key value from the first instance and then use this value when you configure each additional instance. |
Web container runtime user permissions |
If the runtime user of the OpenSSO Enterprise web container instance is a non-root user, this user must be able to write to its own home directory. For example, if you are installing Sun Java System Web Server, the default runtime user for the Web Server instance is webservd. On Solaris systems, the webservd user has the following entry in the /etc/passwd file: webservd:x:80:80:WebServer Reserved UID:/: The webservd user does not have permission to write to its default home directory (/). Therefore, you must change the permissions to allow the webservd user to write to its default home directory. Otherwise, the webservd user will encounter an error after you configure OpenSSO Enterprise using the Configurator. |
Mode |
OpenSSO Enterprise is always deployed in Realm Mode. |
