Use this information to verify that your server meets hardware
and software prerequisites before implementing a single signon environment.
V5R4 iSeries™ server requirements
Note: Single signon
is also available in OS/400® Version
5 Release 2 (V5R2) and i5/OS™ V5R3.
However, the detailed configuration information in this topic is based on
the new single signon function that is only available in i5/OS V5R4
or later, such as policy associations.
To create a successful single
signon environment, ensure that all these requirements are met:
Note: If you intend to use the Synchronize Functions wizard in iSeries Navigator to propagate an existing
single signon configuration across multiple systems, you need to configure
the systems to use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to protect the transmission
of sensitive configuration information, such as passwords.
Client PC requirements
To create a successful single
signon environment, ensure that all these requirements are met:
Microsoft Windows server requirements
To
create a successful single signon environment, ensure that all these requirements
are met:
- Hardware planning and setup are completed.
- Windows 2000 Server or Windows Server
2003 is used.
- Windows Support
Tools (which provides the ktpass tool) is installed.
- TCP/IP is configured.
- Windows 2000 domain is configured.
- Users within the network are added to a Windows 2000 domain

You can use the provided planning work sheets to help you gather information and make decisions
for your single signon implementation. Each work sheet contains a list of
tasks that need to be completed.
