IT Administrator Requirements

Client Requirements

Integration Technologies Administrator is a Java program. In order to run it, you must have one of the following installed:

• Java 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition, Version 1.4.1 (J2RE) or later
• jview, release 5.00.3167 or later

You can download jview from Microsoft's Web site.

IT Administrator runs only on Windows platforms.

Server Requirements

• an LDAP V2 or V3 compliant server.

• the schema definitions file.

• the initial LDIF file for populating the required metadata, which is used to create the container structure that SAS expects. After the directory is set up, this file should not be needed.

Metadata Requirements

Before the SAS Integration Technologies Administrator can manage the SAS metadata, you must apply the provided schema and LDIF file to an LDAP server. The administration program requires the location and port number of the LDAP server and the location of the base of the SAS metadata. Both of these values are specified in the site.cfg file. For details on configuring the site.cfg file, see IT Administrator Installation and Startup.

The following is an example of the defined hierarchy and the location of the base directory. This structure is set up when you apply the supplied schema and LDIF file.

c=US
   o=SAS Institute (the base)
      cn=SAS
         sascomponent=sasPublishSubscribe
            cn=saschannels
            cn=sassubscribers 
         sascomponent=sasServer
            cn=sasservers
            cn=sasspawners
            cn=saslogins
         sascomponent=Archiving
            cn=sasarchivepaths

In the previous example, the distinguished name of the base entry is

   o=SAS Institute,c=US

The following structure must exist below the base entry:

   saschannels 
   sassubscribers 

Hardware Requirements

There are no hardware requirements for running the administrator application.
