Gatekeeper, a component of IBM(R) WebSphere(R) Everyplace(R) Connection Manager Version 5.0.1.4 This README file contains information you need for installing as well as information that was not available for our printed publication. __________________________________________________________________________ Table of contents 1.0 Software requirements 2.0 Hardware requirements 3.0 Getting help 4.0 Installing 5.0 Late-breaking information 6.0 Fixed Authorized Program Analysis Report (APAR) information 7.0 Trademarks and copyright __________________________________________________________________________ 1.0 Software Requirements You can install the Gatekeeper on any of these operating systems with the TCP/IP protocol installed: o IBM AIX(R) Version 5.1 o IBM AIX Version 5.2 o Red Hat Linux 7.3 o Red Hat Linux 8.0 o Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES o SuSE Linux 7.3 o SuSE Linux 8.0 o SuSE Linux 8.1 o SuSE Linux 8.2 o Sun Solaris 7 and Solaris 8 o Trusted Solaris 8 o Microsoft(R) Windows(R) 98 o Microsoft Windows NT(R) o Microsoft Windows 2000 o Microsoft Windows Me o Microsoft Windows XP Note: When upgrading your operating system from Windows 98 to Windows XP Home Edition, first uninstall the Gatekeeper, then install the operating system upgrade, and reinstall Gatekeeper. A Java(TM) runtime environment (JRE) is required to use the Gatekeeper. Details about the JRE depend on the operating system you are using: AIX - The Gatekeeper requires the IBM JRE Version 1.3.1.5 (and all of the things that the IBM JRE requires). On the installation CD in the directory /usr/sys/inst.images, are the files Java131.rte.bin.1.3.1.5.bff and Java131.rte.lib.1.3.1.5.bff. These files are the IBM JRE Version 1.3.1.5 and they require several other files from the same directory on the installation CD (for example, Java131.rte). When you install using smitty, choose the option AUTOMATICALLY install prerequisite software to make sure that the IBM JRE is installed from the installation CD, if it is not already installed. If you are downloading the code from the support web site, there are two packages available for AIX. One tar file contains the JRE and the code (144.4 MB) and the other tar file contains just the code (11 MB). Linux - The Gatekeeper requires the IBM JRE Version 1.3.1-6.0 service release 6 (and all of the things that the IBM JRE 1.3.1 requires). On the installation CD in the directory /linux, is the file IBMJava2-JRE-1.3.1-6.0.i386.rpm. This file is the IBM JRE 1.3.1. If you are downloading the code from the support web site, there are two packages available for Linux. One tar file contains the JRE and the code (23 MB) and the other tar file contains just the code (4.6 MB). Solaris - The JRE is built in to and part of the Gatekeeper install image. The JRE will not display as separately installed software when issuing a command such as pkginfo. Likewise, you cannot uninstall the JRE without uninstalling the Gatekeeper. Windows - The JRE is built in to and part of the Gatekeeper install image. The JRE will not display as separately installed software, for example, in the Control Panel under Add/Remove Programs. Likewise, you cannot uninstall the JRE without uninstalling the Gatekeeper. 1.1 Optional Software Requirements If the Gatekeeper is running on Windows platforms and you want to see the product support web site, install Microsoft Internet Explorer. If the Gatekeeper is running on AIX, Solaris, or Linux and you plan to use a browser, install Netscape Navigator. ___________________________________________________________________________ 2.0 Hardware Requirements CPU For x86 platforms (such as Intel(R)), 400 MHz (or greater) Pentium(R) processor. For Linux distributions, use x86 platforms. For RISC platforms, 375 MHz (or greater) processor. Memory Minimum of 128 MB RAM. Hard Drive Space Without tracing or logging (the default) For a Windows installation, 40.2 MB (or greater) of hard drive space. For an AIX installation that has the 1.3.1 JRE already installed, 14.9 MB (or greater) of hard drive space. For an AIX installation without the JRE installed, 49.3 MB (or greater) of hard drive space. For a Solaris installation, 63.9 (or greater) MB of hard drive space. For a Linux installation that has the 1.3.1 JRE already installed, 15 MB (or greater) of hard drive space. For a Linux installation without the JRE installed, 49.5 MB (or greater) of hard drive space. With tracing - Minimum of 12 MB With message logging - Minimum of 12 MB ___________________________________________________________________________ 3.0 Getting Help Online help is available with the Gatekeeper. Click the Help menu option, click the Tips button, or click How to... from the Tasks tab. ___________________________________________________________________________ 4.0 Installing See the IBM WebSphere Everyplace Connection Manager Administrator's Guide for information about installing for the first time or applying maintenance. The guide is in portable document format (PDF) and you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader Version 3.0 or greater to display or print it. This guide is located on the installation CD or on the web at: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/pvc/wecm/501/ _____________________________________________________________________________ 5.0 Late-breaking information 5.1 If you are running the Gatekeeper, then it is recommended that you do not use double-byte characters (such as Chinese, Korean, or Japanese) for password fields. 5.2 Traditional Chinese only Some zh_TW characters may not display well in the left pane if the font size has been changed to +5 or +6 from the default. To modify the font size in most of the Gatekeeper windows: Options Gatekeeper Properties Change Gatekeeper 5.3 Korean only Some ko_KR characters may not display well. To modify the font size in most of the Gatekeeper windows: Options Gatekeeper Properties Change Gatekeeper fonts 5.4 French only If you are running the Gatekeeper on Red Hat 7.3 Linux platform in the fr_FR locale, then make sure the NumLock key is OFF when you are entering data. 5.5 Trusted Solaris only If you are running the Gatekeeper on Trusted Solaris 8, then you may discover that the initial window sizing for some java widgets is too small. Resize the window. 5.6 New features for Version 5.0.1.1 o Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES o Support for Java runtime environment (JRE) version 1.3.1-6.0 which is required to use the IBM Key Management (gskit) software. _____________________________________________________________________________ 6.0 Fixed Authorized Program Analysis Report (APAR) information Problems resolved with version 5.0.1.1 include: IY52544 Verisign root certificates have expired, preventing HTTP access services from establishing SSL connections Problems resolved with version 5.0.1.4 include: IY55838 Cannot display object in Gatekeeper until exit and restart of GK IY59234f_1 Connection Manager needs to allow disablement of auto enrollment for externally authenticated users _____________________________________________________________________________ 7.0 Trademarks and Copyright AIX, Everyplace, IBM, and WebSphere, are trademarks or registered trademarks of the IBM Corporation in the United States or other countries or both.
