Review the following system requirements to ensure that your server and client environments meet installation prerequisites:
iChain 1.5 required an approved proxy appliance to run on. With iChain 2.0, this restriction no longer applies. iChain 2.0 is a self-contained install and does not require licensed hardware to run. (iChain 2.0, however, will install and run on any proxy appliance that was approved for iChain 1.5.) A hardware certification program is being put in place that will identify other hardware that iChain will run on.
General guidelines for iChain 2.0 are as follows:
NOTE: Hardware issues that have been logged have almost always related to disk or LAN adapter drivers. If no matching drivers are found, multiple matching drivers are found, or other manual parameter input is needed during driver configuration, the install will hang (infinite dots). Included drivers for disk arrays are limited. If the iChain Proxy Server installs and the Mini Web Server can be configured and accessed correctly, then the hardware should be fully compatible.
You can find the list of approved hardware on theiChain product page.
The iChain authorization server can be installed on the following NDS eDirectoryTM version 8.5 platforms:
For additional information on the supported platforms and system requirements for NDS eDirectory version 8.5, refer to the NDS eDirectory 8.5 Quick Start available at the Novell Documentation site.
For NetWare installations, verify the following:
Print server
FTP server
Enterprise Web Server
Web Search
IBM* WebSphere* Application Server
NOTE: For increased security, we recommend installing the iChain authorization server in a tree separate from your corporate file/print tree. DirXML can be used to synchronize user account information between trees if desired.
We also recommend that the authorization server should be the first server in the tree so it contains the master replica of the tree.
The administrator workstation requirements are as follows:
