If you select a non-JRE installation option, you must ensure that your Java package includes Java
Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction policy les to enable registration of the
Endpoint Operations Management agent. If you select a non-JRE option and your Java package does not
include Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction policy les, you receive these
error messages Server might be down (or wrong IP/port were used) and Cannot support
TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA with currently installed providers.
Configuring JRE Locations for Endpoint Operations Management Components
Endpoint Operations Management agents require a JRE. The platform-specic
Endpoint Operations Management agent installers include a JRE. Platform-independent
Endpoint Operations Management agent installers do not include a JRE.
If you select a non-JRE installation option, you must ensure that your Java package includes Java
Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction policy les to enable registration of the End
Point Operations Management agent. For more information , see “Java Prerequisites for the Endpoint
Operations Management Agent,” on page 45.
Depending on your environment and the installation package that you use, you might need to dene the
location of the JRE for your agents. The following environments require JRE location conguration.
n
Platform-specic agent installation on a machine that has its own JRE that you want to use
n
Platform-independent agent installation
How the Agent Resolves its JRE
The agent resolves its JRE based on platform type.
UNIX-like Platforms
On UNIX-like platforms, the agent determines which JRE to use in the
following order:
1 HQ_JAVA_HOME environment variable
2 Embedded JRE
3 JAVA_HOME environment variable
Linux Platforms
On Linux platforms, you use export HQ_JAVA_HOME=
path_to_current_java_directory to dene a system variable.
Windows Platforms
On Windows platforms, the agent resolves the JRE to use in the following
order:
1 HQ_JAVA_HOME environment variable
The path dened in the variable must not contain spaces. Consider using
a shortened version of the path, using the tild (~) character. For
example,c:\Program Files\Java\jre7 can become
c:\Progra~1\Java\jre7. The number after the tild depends on the
alphabetical order (where a = 1, b =2, and so on) of les whose name
begins with progra in that directory.
2 Embedded JRE
You dene a system variable from the My Computer menu. Select Properties
> Advanced > Environment Variables > System Variables > New.
