System information

5. Important Notes
The following sections contain important installation, configuration, and deployment information for
Red Hat Certificate System 7.2.
5.1. Installation Notes
•
Packages are non-relocatable. The Red Hat Certificate System base packages can not be installed
to a user-designated location.
•
Do not use the Autorun feature of the CD drive. If you use the Autorun feature with a CD created
from the ISO image, all subsystems (CA, DRM, OCSP, TKS, and TPS) as well as the Enterprise Se-
curity Client are installed on the system by default.
The preferred alternative is to run the installation scripts provided for the server, or to follow the in-
stallation instructions in the Red Hat Certificate System 7.2 Administration Guide.
5.2. Required JRE
Java™ 1.5.0 Java Runtime Environment (JRE). Certificate System does not support earlier versions of
the JRE. This JRE is required for running Tomcat, among other applications for the Certificate System.
On 32-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 platforms, Certificate System 7.2 requires the 32-bit version of
the IBM JRE 1.5.0. A pre-packaged binary distribution of this package, java-
1.5.0-ibm-1.5.0.0-1jpp_2rh:0.i386, is available through either the Red Hat Enterprise
Linux AS (v. 4 for x86) Extras Red Hat Network channel or the Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (v. 4
for x86) Extras Red Hat Network channel.
Similarly, for 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 platforms, Certificate System 7.2 requires the 64-bit
version of the IBM JRE 1.5.0. A pre-packaged binary distribution of this package, java-
1.5.0-ibm-1.5.0.0-1jpp_2rh:0.x86_64, is available through either the Red Hat Enterprise
Linux AS (v. 4 for AMD64/EM64T) Extras Red Hat Network channel or the Red Hat Enterprise
Linux ES (v. 4 for AMD64/EM64T) Extras Red Hat Network channel.
As root, run /usr/sbin/alternatives --config java to ensure that the IBM Java™ 1.5.0
JRE is selected.
Warning
Both the 32-bit xSeries (Intel-compatible) and 64-bit AMD/Opteron/EM64T versions of
the IBM J2SE JRE 5.0 RPM packages available through the IBM download site are
packaged in a format which is incompatible with Certificate System 7.2.
For 64-bit Solaris 9 (SPARC) platforms, download and install the latest version of the 64-bit Sun J2SE
Java™ Runtime Environment 5.0 (Update 8) available from the Sun download site, ht-
tp://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp.
