Operating System Requirements

This section covers operating systems, patches and service packs required to support Directory Server Enterprise Edition component products.

Directory Server, Directory Proxy Server, and Directory Server Resource Kit Operating System Requirements

To avoid downloading most individual patches, obtain Solaris patch clusters . To obtain Solaris patch clusters, follow these steps:

Go to the SunSolve patch page at http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=patchpage.
Click the Recommended Patch Clusters link.
Download the patch cluster for your Solaris OS and Java ES versions.

Note that installations on SuSE Linux Enterprise Server require you to reset several Java environment variables. See Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3 Installation Guide for more details.
