1. Install CentOS 6

A word of caution : IBM software does not support the use of CentOS. However, I use CentOS regularly, because it resembles Redhat Enterprise Server (it’s not the same though) and in general, information that’s valid for RHEL is also valid for CentOS. So this setup is not suited for production purposes, only for demo/trial/… etc.

This blog will contain a series of entries describing how to set up ICS (IBM Collaboration Solutions) products and integrate them together, specifically integrate them using IBM Access Manager (WebSeal)

IBM Software used :

• Tivoli Directory Server 6.3
• Tivoli Access Manager for Web 6.3**

Other useful software:

2. Install DB2 for IBM Directory Server

DB2 is a component that’s needed for multiple components in the ICS product suite.

You need to get the software from Passport Advantage. I use the DVD image for TDS 6.3 in this case:
