You must complete the steps in the following checklist before starting the Identity Governance installation.

Checklist Items

  1. Decide which servers you want to use for your Identity Governance components. For more information, see the following sections:

  1. Review the minimum required versions for the components. For more information, see Section 2.4, Hardware and Software Requirements.

  1. Install the supported versions of Zulu OpenJDK, Apache Tomcat, a database platform, an identity service, and an authentication service before installing Identity Governance. For the installation steps, see:

    For sample installation scripts, go to the product documentation site and look under the References section.

  1. Installation directories cannot contain any spaces. If you install Zulu Java OpenJDK, Apache Tomcat, or ActiveMQ in a directory with spaces, the OSP and Identity Governance installers fail.

  1. Ensure that you have a supported identity service installed and configured. For more information, see Section 3.7, Preparing or Installing an Identity Service.

  1. Determine if you will use TLS/SSL to secure communication between the required components and OSP, Identity Governance, or Identity Reporting. If you do want to secure communication between these components, ensure that you configure the application server, identity service, and the databases for secure communication before starting the OSP, Identity Governance, or Identity Reporting installations. For more information, see Section 3.9, Securing Connections with TLS/SSL.

  1. Determine if you will install any of the optional features that require additional components to be installed. For more information, see Section 3.10, Installing Optional Components.
