One Identity recommends that you install One Identity Management Console for Unix, a separate One Identity product that provides a management console that is a powerful and easy-to-use tool that dramatically simplifies deployment of Safeguard Authentication Services agents to your clients. The management console streamlines the overall management of your UNIX, Linux, and macOS hosts by enabling centralized management of local UNIX users and groups and providing granular reports on key data and attributes.

Prior to installing Management Console for Unix, ensure your system meets the minimum hardware and software requirements for your platform.

Considerations:

  • To enable the Management Console for Unix server to interact with the host, you must install both an SSH server (that is, sshd) and an SSH client on each managed host. Both OpenSSH 2.5 (and higher) and Tectia SSH 5.0 (and higher) are supported.

  • Management Console for Unix does not support Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux)

  • When you install Safeguard Authentication Services on Oracle Solaris 11, the Oracle Solaris 10 packages are installed.

Default memory requirement

NOTE: For information about changing the default memory allocation setting in the configuration file, see JVM memory tuning suggestions in the One Identity Management Console for UNIX Administration Guide.
