3.2.2 Related Software

This section provides an overview of the software related to Systemwalker Operation Manager.

Redistributable package [Windows version]

The redistributable package "Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable" is required software for Systemwalker Operation Manager.

If the "Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable" package does not exist, it will be installed automatically when Systemwalker Operation Manager is installed.

Do not uninstall the "Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable" package if Systemwalker Operation Manager is already installed.

Web Console encrypted communication

The certificate issued by the Certificate Authority is required for encrypted communications (SSL: Secure Socket Layer).

Certificates or CRLs are supported when they are issued by one of the following:

VeriSign, Inc.
Supports Secure Site and Secure Site with EV Certificates (EV SSL Certificates).
Cybertrust, Inc.
Supports SureServer for SSL Certificates.

Systemwalker User Management

To use the Systemwalker User Management function, one of the following programs is required to set up the Systemwalker authentication repository. Refer to the Systemwalker User's Guide - Systemwalker User Management and Single Sign-on for more information.

Interstage Directory Service
Use the Interstage Directory Service included with either of the following:
- Interstage Application Server Enterprise Edition V9.2 or later included with Systemwalker Centric Manager V13.4.0
- Interstage Application Server Standard-J Edition/Enterprise Edition V8.0.0 or later
Point
In IPv6 communication environments
Use the Interstage Directory Service included with either of the following products when performing operations in an IPv6 communication environment:
- Systemwalker Centric Manager V13.4.0 or later
- Interstage Application Server Standard-J Edition/Enterprise Edition V9.1.0 or later

Active Directory
If Active Directory is used as the Systemwalker authentication repository, the following operating systems are supported:
- Windows Server 2008 (including Server Core)
- Windows Server 2012 (including Server Core)
Note
Multi-domain environments are not supported if Active Directory is used as the Systemwalker authentication repository.

Point

When Active Directory is used to set up the Systemwalker authentication repository, Interstage Directory Service is still required in order to use single sign-on from the Systemwalker Web Console, which is done by linking with Systemwalker Centric Manager.

To use the Interstage Directory Service as the Systemwalker authentication repository, an electronic certificate will be required in order to set up the SSL communication environment (encrypted communication and authentication of the Systemwalker authentication repository server). Electronic certificates are supported when they are issued by one of the following:

VeriSign, Inc.
Cybertrust, Inc.

As an alternative, a simple Systemwalker certificate can be used, which does not cause any problems for encrypted communication, however since it is not issued by a Certificate Authority it cannot be used for server authentication.

Systemwalker Single Sign-On

One of the following products is required in order to use the Systemwalker Single Sign-On function:

Systemwalker Centric Manager V13.4.0 or later
Interstage Application Server Standard-J Edition/Enterprise Edition V9.0.0 or later

Point

Use the following products when Systemwalker Operation Manager is installed together with Systemwalker Single Sign-On Server or Interstage Application Server:

Systemwalker Single Sign-On Server for Systemwalker Centric Manager V13.6.1 or later
Interstage Application Server Standard-J Edition/Enterprise Edition V11.0.0 or later

Point

One of the following products is required when performing operations in an IPv6 communication environment and when Active Directory is used as the Systemwalker authentication repository for storing user information:

Systemwalker Centric Manager V13.4.0 or later
Interstage Application Server Standard-J Edition/Enterprise Edition V9.1.0 or later

Any of the following Web browsers can be used with the Systemwalker Single Sign-On function:

Internet Explorer 8/9/10/11

Point

If using Internet Explorer 10/11, use one of the following products as the Systemwalker Single Sign-On Server:

Systemwalker Single Sign-On Server for Systemwalker Centric Manager V13.6.1 or later
Interstage Application Server Standard-J Edition/Enterprise Edition V11.0.0 or later

Note

If a Systemwalker product and the Interstage Application Servers shown below co-exist, then the Systemwalker User Management function and Systemwalker Single Sign-On cannot be used. An error will occur when the environment is set.

Earlier than Interstage Application Server Enterprise Edition V6.0
Earlier than Interstage Application Server Standard Edition V6.0
Earlier than Interstage Application Server Web-J Edition V7.0
Earlier than Interstage Application Server Plus V7.0

To use the Interstage Directory Service as the Systemwalker authentication repository, an electronic certificate will be required to set up the SSL communication environment (encrypted communication and authentication of the Systemwalker authentication repository server). Electronic certificates are supported when they are issued by one of the following:

VeriSign, Inc.
Cybertrust, Inc.

Single Sign-On linked with ServerView Operations Manager

The following product is required in order to use the Single Sign-On function linked with ServerView Operations Manager:

ServerView Resource Orchestrator Cloud Edition V3.1.1 or later

Also, ServerView Operations Manager must be built and Single Sign-On linkage must be configured for the above product by using ServerView Operations Manager.

If using the Single Sign-On function with ServerView Operations Manager, the ServerView Operations Manager built during the installation of ServerView Resource Orchestrator Cloud Edition must be used as the authentication infrastructure.

Only those ServerView Operations Manager versions and directory services can be used, which are compliant with the ServerView Resource Orchestrator Cloud Edition. However, only a single domain environment is supported when Active Directory is used as the directory service.

Additionally, only those Web browsers can be used with the Single Sign-On function linked with ServerView Operations Manager, which are compliant with the ServerView Resource Orchestrator Cloud Edition management client. However, Web browsers that are not supported by Systemwalker Operation Manager cannot be used.
