Java Runtime Environments
A java runtime environment (JRE) is required to run the PKI java-tools, the pki-console, or the CA, DRM, OCSP, or TKS subsystems. Select the appropriate JRE based upon the operating system being utilized.
Fedora 8
The CA, DRM, OCSP, and TKS subsystems, PKI java tools, and PKI console require the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) IcedTea Open JRE 1.7 java to be used:
yum install java-1.7.0-icedtea
To insure that the appropriate version of java has been selected, become the root user, and run the following /usr/sbin/alternatives command to verify that this java has been selected. For example:
/usr/sbin/alternatives --config java
You will see output like this:
There are 2 programs which provide 'java'. Selection Command ----------------------------------------------- *+ 1 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.7.0-icedtea/bin/java 2 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.5.0-gcj/bin/java Enter to keep the current selection[+], or type selection number:
| IMPORTANT: | Additionally, be sure that the JAVA_HOME and CLASSPATH environment variables are unset in the user's command-line shell, and that the PATH environment variable does not reference a java executable that is different than the one set by the /usr/sbin/alternatives command. This can be checked by running the command which java which should return /usr/bin/java and/or the command java -version which should return the expected Java version. |
Fedora Core 6 and Fedora 7
The IBM Java JRE 5.0 is required to run most PKI subsystems. Please download the jpackage format (i.e. pxi32dev-20070511-jpackage.tar.gz) version from the following URL:
You may need to create an account to complete the download task.
After downloading the package, install the following RPM package:
- java-1.5.0-ibm-1.5.0.5-1jpp.{arch}.rpm
| NOTE: | Certain versions of the IBM JRE (e. g. - "java-1.5.0-ibm-1.5.0.5-1jpp") require the C++ compatibility library (e. g. - "compat-libstdc++"), or the following error may be seen at runtime ("libstdc++.so.5 cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"). To eliminate this potential issue, users may need to install the following package: |
yum install compat-libstdc++-33
| NOTE: | Sun's J2SE 5.0 should work also. |
To insure that the appropriate version of java has been selected, become the root user, and run the following /usr/sbin/alternatives command to verify that this java has been selected. For example:
/usr/sbin/alternatives --config java
You should then see output like this:
There are 2 programs which provide 'java'. Selection Command ----------------------------------------------- 1 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.4.2-gcj/bin/java *+ 2 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.5.0-ibm/bin/java Enter to keep the current selection[+], or type selection number:
| IMPORTANT: | Additionally, be sure that the JAVA_HOME and CLASSPATH environment variables are unset in the user's command-line shell, and that the PATH environment variable does not reference a java executable that is different than the one set by the /usr/sbin/alternatives command. This can be checked by running the command which java which should return /usr/bin/java and/or the command java -version which should return the expected Java version. |
Apache Web Server
The RA and TPS subsystems require the use of the system's default Apache web server.
