<strong>RSA</strong> <strong>Authentication</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> <strong>7.1</strong> <strong>Installation</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Configuration</strong> <strong>Guide</strong><br />
1 Preparing for <strong>Installation</strong><br />
• Hardware <strong>and</strong> Operating System Requirements<br />
• <strong>RSA</strong> <strong>Authentication</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> Components<br />
• <strong>Installation</strong> Types<br />
• Pre-<strong>Installation</strong> Tasks<br />
Hardware <strong>and</strong> Operating System Requirements<br />
Ensure that your system meets these minimum requirements for supported platform<br />
<strong>and</strong> system components. The requirements listed in this section serve only as<br />
guidelines. Hardware requirements vary depending on a number of factors, including<br />
authentication rates, number of users, frequency of reporting, <strong>and</strong> log retention. For<br />
more information, see the Performance <strong>and</strong> Scalability <strong>Guide</strong>.<br />
The values listed for <strong>RSA</strong> RADIUS disk space <strong>and</strong> memory are in addition to those<br />
for <strong>Authentication</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> when RADIUS is installed on the same machine with<br />
<strong>Authentication</strong> <strong>Manager</strong>. When RADIUS is installed on a st<strong>and</strong>alone machine, the<br />
values listed for <strong>Authentication</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> are sufficient.<br />
Note: You must install all of your <strong>Authentication</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> <strong>and</strong> RADIUS software on<br />
the same system types. For example, do not configure <strong>Authentication</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> on<br />
Solaris <strong>and</strong> then configure RADIUS on Windows.<br />
<strong>RSA</strong> recommends that you deploy <strong>Authentication</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> on machines to which<br />
only authorized users have access. For example, avoid deploying <strong>Authentication</strong><br />
<strong>Manager</strong> on machines that host other applications to which non-administrative users<br />
have access.<br />
Note: Ensure that your UNIX <strong>and</strong> Windows servers are designated by fully qualified<br />
domain names, for example, hostname.example.com.<br />
The server name must observe these conventions:<br />
• Each label, for example, “hostname” or “com,” only contains the letters “A” to<br />
“Z” (uppercase) or “a” to “z” (lowercase), the digits “0” through “9”, <strong>and</strong> the<br />
hyphen “-”.<br />
• Each label starts <strong>and</strong> ends with a letter or digit except for the label after the last dot<br />
“.”, which must begin with a letter, for example, .com.<br />
