7.1 Prerequisites

NOTE:The instructions apply to the standard architecture of the directory managed using an administration workstation.

  • Ensure that you meet hardware and software requirements listed in the NetIQ SecureLogin System Requirements.

  • Ensure that you provide a valid root CA certificate on every workstation during SecureLogin installation. The installation fails if the valid root CA certificate is not specified. When you install or migrate SecureLogin in LDAP environment, ensure that certificates used are certified by Certification Authority (CA). Server Certificates are installed and available on your LDAP server.

    IMPORTANT:Ensure that the Subject Name or Subject Alternative Name of the certificate in eDirectory matches with the SecureLogin LDAP server name.

  • Administrator access to the server, directory, and administration workstation.

  • If you intend to enable single sign-on for Java applications, install Java 1.7 or 1.8 on workstations prior to installing SecureLogin. You can download this from the Java website.

  • Back up the existing directory.

  • SecureLogin uses TLS 1.2 for more secured communication over the networks. It is not recommended to use TLS 1.1. However, if your environment does not allow using TLS 1.2, see Enabling TLS 1.1 In SecureLogin.
