Issue/Introduction

 

We're installing a Policy Server and we'd like to know if AdoptOpenJDK
is the only OpenJDK fork supported by BroadCom for Layer7 SiteMinder
12.8SP3, or if other ones are supported by this product ?

 

Environment

 

Release : 12.8.03

Component : SITEMINDER -POLICY SERVER

 

Resolution

 

At first glance, as per our Support Matrix, for 12.8SP3, the only
version supported is AdoptOpenJDK 1.8.212 and higher :

2.4 Java Virtual Machine (JVM)

  The following table lists the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) support
  requirements for release 12.8.03:

    | CA Single Sign-On Component  | Java Runtime Environment                         |
