Configuring a Red Hat Linux server

If you are installing on Red Hat Linux® Enterprise 8.0 or 7.0 you must complete configuration tasks before you install Identity Manager.

About this task

Before you install Identity Manager, ensure that you disable Security Enhanced Linux (SEL). The installer might fail because of SEL default policy restrictions. Also, verify that you have the correct Linux packages installed.

Note: If you encounter issues, see java.lang.NullPointerException during Identity Manager directory configuration on Red Hat Linux 7 during a fresh installation.
