Check the requirements for the Administrative Server and the browser before installing Management and Security Server:
As the central component of Management and Security Server, the Administrative Server requires:
Server-class operating system
Server running JRE 8 or later
JRE 8 is installed by the automated installer (or multi-component manual installation).
Updated JCE Unlimited Strength Policy Files
Each component that requires JRE also requires Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files. "Unlimited strength" policy files contain no restrictions on cryptographic strengths, in contrast to the "strong" but limited cryptography policy files bundled in a JRE.
The JCE Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files must be applied when you
manually install Management and Security Server.
upgrade your JRE (each time).
NOTE:If you use an automated installer or a multi-component manual installation file to install Management and Security Server, a self-contained JRE and servlet runner are installed, and the JCE Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files are applied for you.
If you choose the “no JRE” installer for UNIX, the files are not installed. Follow the steps To Apply the JCE Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files.
Download the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files from Oracle or IBM.
Be sure to download the correct policy file updates for your version of Java:
Java 8: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
IBM: https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/iwm/web/preLogin.do?source=jcesdk
Uncompress and extract the downloaded file. The download includes a Readme.txt and two .jar files with the same names as the existing policy files.
Locate the two existing policy files:
local_policy.jar
US_export_policy.jar
On Linux or UNIX, look in <java-home>/lib/security
On Windows, look in C:\Program Files\Java\jre<version>\lib\security
Replace the existing policy files with the unlimited strength policy files you extracted.
A browser is required for the Administrative Console, and for users or administrators who use the Java-based login/links list applet to launch client sessions.
When using the non-Java Administrative Server (HTML login) option, the browser must:
support JavaScript and cookies
When using the Administrative Server login, 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). Some exceptions may apply.
The Metering Server requires a server running JRE 8 or later.
