NetIQ Corporation recommends the fully tested and certified platforms described in this page. However, customers running on other platforms or with untested configurations will be supported until the point NetIQ Corporation determines that the root cause is the uncertified platform or configuration. Issues that can be reproduced on the certified platforms will be prioritized and fixed according to standard defect-handling policies. For more information about support polices, see Support Policies.
NetIQ Access Manager comes with two deployment options:
Deploying individual components (Identity Server, Access Gateway, Analytics Server and Administration Console). Each component can be installed and managed on separate servers. Access Manager 4.4 SP1 onwards, Administration Console, Identity Server, and Access Gateway can also be deployed as services on Amazon Web Services (AWS) EC2 and Microsoft Azure.
Deploying all components as an appliance. Access Manager Appliance is a soft appliance based on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. It bundles pre-configured Identity Server, Access Gateway, and Administration Console in one server. Analytics Server can be installed and managed on a separate server.
