System Requirements

Operating environment 

i-Planet 2.0 software runs in the Solaris^(TM) 2.5.1, 2.6, and Solaris 7 operating environments. The basic firewall application provided and SecurID authentication do not run under Solaris 7.

Patches required from Sun Microsystems before using the Java^(TM) Development Kit (JDK^(TM)) in the Solaris 2.5.1 operating environment include: Patch No. 103566-08 or later (X11/OpenWindows^(TM) patch) and Patch No. 103640-08 or later (kernel patch). Refer to the URL http: //www.javasoft.com/products/jdk/1.2/install-solaris-patches.html or to http://sunsolve.sun.com for patch information.

System 

i-Planet 2.0 software ideally uses two machines: one server to function as a gateway between the Internet and your internal network ("the i-Planet gateway") and one server to function as a platform and applications server ("the i-Planet server"). 

• Machine type: a dual CPU Ultra 60 with 300 MHz is recommended for both the i-Planet gateway and for the i-Planet server.

• Memory: the gateway and the i-Planet server should each have a minimum of 128 Mbytes of memory.

• Disk space: the i-Planet gateway should have a minimum of 40 Mbytes of free disk space; the i-Planet server should have a minimum of 50 Mbytes of free disk space.

Browser 

A browser (Netscape Navigator^(TM) 4.04 or higher, Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher) and an Internet connection are required for a remote client to connect to the i-Planet server, and for the system administrator to use the Administration Console.

A patch from Netscape Communications Corporation is required if you are using the Netscape browser versions 4.04 or 4.05: Patch JDK 1.1AWT. This patch can be downloaded from the Netscape website.
