WebSphere Application Server and WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment prerequisites

IBM MobileFirst™ Platform Server has some requirements for the configuration of WebSphere® Application Server and WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment that are detailed in the following topics.

Ensure that you fulfill the following criteria:

• Use a supported version of WebSphere Application Server.

• The application server must be run with JRE 7.0. By default, WebSphere Application Server uses Java™ 6.0 SDK. To switch to Java 7.0 SDK, see Switching to Java 7.0 SDK in WebSphere Application Server.

• The administrative security must be turned on. MobileFirst Operations Console, the MobileFirst Server administration service, and the MobileFirst Server configuration service are protected by security roles. For more information, see Enabling security.

• The JMX configuration must be enabled to allow the communication between the administration service and the runtime component. The communication uses SOAP. For WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment, RMI can be used. For more information, see Configure JMX connection for WebSphere Application Server and WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment.
