ESRI Software

ArcGIS Server 9.3 Standard Enterprise edition
The Java Web Application Developer Framework (required for the GIS Portal Toolkit Map Viewer)
ArcGIS Desktop 9.3 (optional but highly recommended)

Third-Party Software

HTTP Server	IIS (5.0, 5.1, or 6.0, depending on Windows version) Apache 2.058
Servlet Engine	Tomcat 5.0.28, 5.5.17, 5.5.26
Database¹	SQL Server 2000 or 2005 Oracle 9i or 10g PostgreSQL
User Authentication/ Authorization	LDAP-enabled directory server² or simple authentication³
Java 2 Platform⁴	Standard Edition (J2SE) 1.5.0_06 or higher

¹ A Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) driver for the database is required.

² For full functionality of user-based roles in GIS Portal Toolkit 9.3, an LDAP-enabled directory server is required for the authentication mechanism. You may use an existing directory server if you already have one in your organization. If you currently do not have a directory server and wish to have user-based roles, you will need to install a directory server. Examples include Microsoft Active Directory, IBM Tivoli Access Manager, Sun OpenDS, and Apache Directory Server. Instructions on installing either Apache Directory Server or Sun OpenDS are available in the GIS Portal Toolkit 9.3 distribution documentation package.

³ Simple authentication, where the GIS Portal Toolkit has just one administrative user account, is available as an alternative to LDAP when setting up the GIS Portal Toolkit 9.3. It is a quick option for an introductory setup but is not recommended for production environments. Users wishing to use simple authentication need not install additional LDAP software. Setting up simple authentication can be achieved solely via the GPT configuration file and is described in detail in the installation guide.

⁴ Java 6 is not supported.
