3.2.2 LDAP client

Any Access Manager component that requires communication with an LDAP

server needs the LDAP client. The client provides a set of tools and an API used

for communication with the LDAP server. The following components do not need

the LDAP client:

򐂰 Access Manager Runtime for Java

򐂰 Web Portal Manager

򐂰 Access Manager Attribute Retrieval Service

򐂰 Session Management Server

򐂰 Session Management Web Interface System

Basically, all Java-based Access Manager components do not require an LDAP

client.

Most of the time the required LDAP client is the IBM Tivoli Directory Server client

version 6.0. The exceptions are:

򐂰 If your Tivoli Access Manager system uses the Windows Active Directory

(AD) domain environment as the user registry, the required LDAP client is the

built-in Windows LDAP client required for AD.

򐂰 If Lotus Domino is used as your user registry server, the Access

Manager-supported client is the Lotus Notes client.

After the installation of the LDAP client package no configuration is necessary.

3.2.3 Tivoli Security Utilities

The IBM Tivoli Security Utilities provides common utilities that are required by

Access Manager Runtime. Tivoli Security Utilities package must be installed

before you can install the Access Manager Runtime package. After the

installation of the Tivoli Security Utilities package no configuration is necessary.

3.2.4 Access Manager License (PDlic)

This component contains license information for Tivoli Access Manager. The

Access Manager License component is installed automatically when an

installation wizard is used to install either the Access Manager Runtime, Access

Manager Session Management Server, or the Access Manager Runtime for Java

component.
