This section covers operating systems, patches and service packs required to support Directory Server Enterprise Edition component products.
Directory Server, Directory Proxy Server, and Directory Server Resource Kit which includes Directory SDK for C and Directory SDK for Java share the same operating system requirements. These software components run on the operating system versions listed here. Certain operating systems require additional service packs or patches as shown in the following table.
You can obtain Solaris patch clusters and avoid downloading most individual patches. To obtain Solaris patch clusters, follow these steps:
Go to the SunSolve patch page at http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=patchpage.
Click the Recommended Patch Clusters link.
Download the patch cluster for your Solaris OS and Java ES versions.
Directory Server Enterprise Edition software is validated with full installations of the operating systems listed here, not with reduced “base” or “core” installations.
Directory Server runs on Solaris SPARC, on Solaris 10 AMD x64 systems, and on HP-UX PA-RISC systems in 64-bit mode. Directory Server runs on Solaris x86 systems, on Solaris 9 AMD x64 systems, on Red Hat systems, and on Windows systems in 32-bit mode.
Identity Synchronization for Windows components run on the operating system versions listed here. Certain operating systems require additional service packs or patches as shown in the following tables.
