Required software includes the operating system, the WebSphere® Application Server Network Deployment product (also referred to as WebSphere Application Server), Java, and a database component. IBM® XDMS also requires an LDAP server if you intend to deploy it with the Aggregation Proxy.
The information provided here is intended for a basic installation that is not scaled or fully deployed.
For a list of required WebSphere Application Server fixes, refer to the readme file, WebSphereSoftwareForTelecomReadme.html, on the QuickStart CD.
Each component has different database needs. Refer to the planning section for each component to understand the database needs for that component.
The following databases are supported:
XDMS enablers and the IBM XDMS Aggregation Proxy retrieve users from an LDAP server. You can use any LDAP v3-compliant server for this purpose.
The IBM Tivoli® Directory Server (ITDS) is an example of such an LDAP server. Your WebSphere Application Server product license grants permission to install and use one copy of ITDS.
