2.0 Preparing to Install

Reflection for the Web 13.2 includes Management and Security Server (MSS) version 12.8.

During installation, the Reflection for the Web automated installer looks for a compatible installation of Management and Security Server on the same machine. If detected, you can use the existing one. If a compatible version is not detected, you can install MSS along with Reflection for the Web or use a remotely-hosted installation of MSS.

NOTE:When MSS 12.8 is installed, you will no longer be able to launch Reflection for the Web using the Oracle Java browser plug-in. Instead, you will use the MSS Assigned Sessions list and the Reflection for the Web Launcher. If you must use the Oracle Java browser plug-in to launch Reflection for the Web, contact Customer Support for assistance.

The Reflection for the Web automated installer presents these options:

  • Install both products on the same machine as a chained installation: MSS 12.8 first, and then Reflection for the Web 13.2.

  • Use the existing [compatible] installation of MSS on your system.

  • Use a remotely hosted [compatible] installation of MSS.

For initial testing, you can install Reflection for the Web and Management and Security Server on a workstation; however, we recommend installing on a server operating system for production.
