JBoss, WebSphere, and the Identity Vault have individual Java Development Kit requirements.
JBoss Application Servers: On JBoss Application Servers, use the Java 2 Platform Standard Edition Development Kit version 1.5.0_14.
Use this version of the Sun JDK to start the Roles Based Provisioning Module installer as follows:
Linux/Solaris:
$ /opt/jdk1.5.0_14/bin/java -jar IdmUserApp.jar
Windows:
C:\Novell\InstallFiles\> "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_14\bin\java.exe" -jar IdmUserApp.jar
When the installation procedure asks for the full path of your Java installation, provide the root path of the Sun JDK. For example, the root path on Linux could be
/opt/jdk1.5.0_14
NOTE:SLES users: Do not use the IBM JDK that comes with SLES. This version is incompatible with some aspects of the installation.
WebSphere Application Servers: On WebSphere* Application Servers, use the IBM JDK that comes with the WebSphere Application Server 6.1. Apply the unrestricted policy files. The minimum fixpack level required is 6.1.0.9.
Identity Vault (Metadirectory) installer: The Identity Vault (Metadirectory) installer installs its own copy of the JVM on all platforms except NetWare®. On NetWare, the Identity Vault uses whatever version of Java is installed on the system.
