Support for Open JDK 1.8

Products

• CA Identity Manager
• CA Identity Governance
• CA Identity Portal

Issue/Introduction

Does CA IDM 14.2 support open JDK 1.8 or do we need an oracle licensed JDK?

Environment

Release : 14.2

Component : CA IDENTITY SUITE (VIRTUAL APPLIANCE)

Cause

Oracle has moved to a new licensing model requiring customers to purchase a license for JDK.

Resolution

As of 6 Jun 2019, Open JDK is not yet supported with Identity Manager. The Product Management Team has plans to certify Open JDK as a replacement for Oracle's Java due to Oracle's new Java licensing model. There is no ETA yet available for certification of Open JDK.  Check the Platform Support Matrix in the product documentation for updates.
