System Requirements

Check the requirements for the Administrative Server and the Browser before installing Management and Security Server.

Also check the requirements for the Metering Server and your Add-On Products.

Administrative Server Requirements

As the central component of Management and Security Server, the Administrative Server requires:

Server-class operating system
- For production, a server-class system is required.
- For initial testing or evaluation, a workstation could be used.

Server running JRE 8 or later

JRE 8 is installed by the automated installer (or multi-component manual installation).

Servlet engine with Java servlet 2.3 and JSP 1.2
- The automated installer installs a servlet engine by default.
- An application server, such as WebSphere, also meets the requirement.

Updated JCE Unlimited Strength Policy Files
- These files are installed by the automated installer. No further action required.
- Apply these files when you manually install Management and Security Server.
- These files must be applied each time you update your JRE.
- For more information, see JCE Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files.

Browser Requirements

A browser is required for the Administrative WebStation, and for users or administrators who use the Java-based login/links list applet to launch client sessions.

The browser must:

use JRE 8 or later.
run trusted applets.
support JavaScript and cookies.

NOTE:No browser is required for users or administrators who launch Windows-based sessions from the desktop (such as Reflection Desktop v16 or Rumba).
