2.1 Prerequisites

NOTE: MSS 12.8, which is provided with Reflection for the Web 13.2, uses the Reflection for the Web Launcher—instead of the Oracle Java browser plug-in—to launch sessions. If you must use the Oracle Java browser plug-in, contact Customer Support for assistance.

Before installing Reflection for the Web 13.2, be sure that:

Your version of Management and Security Server is upgraded to 12.8 or higher.

The Reflection for the Web automated installer provides the option to upgrade MSS when both products are on the same machine.

If MSS is installed on a different machine (remotely hosted), be sure to upgrade it to version 12.8 or higher.

Note: If you need or prefer to use the Oracle JRE or Java plug-in, contact Customer Support for assistance.

Any Reflection for the Web or MSS component currently running is shut down.

If an earlier version was installed with an automated installer, the Reflection for the Web 13.2 automated installer will close the components for you.

The necessary account permissions are available to install components on the target server.

If you plan to use X.509 client certificates or secure LDAP access control, make sure the account used to run the Administrative Server has permission to write to the Java SDK certificate authority certificates file (cacerts). The default location in Windows is:

C:\Program Files\ Micro Focus\MSS\jre\lib\security

NOTE:Optional components, including the Security Proxy Server and Terminal ID Manager, can be installed along with Reflection for the Web or added later.
