X11 packages for Identity Manager application server

Issue/Introduction

Are xorg-x11 packages needed for Identity Manager Application server?

Environment

Identity Manager 14.5

Resolution

Packages starting with xorg-x11 typically belong to the X11 system, which provides the graphical environment. They are required for some installation utilities which support graphical mode. All the installation utilities support text mode and therefore graphical mode is optional. Unless explicitly mentioned in the documentation, xorg-x11 packages are not directly needed for the Identity Manager application server itself or any other related part of it. On the other hand, IM 14.5 Connector Server installation requires libX11.i686.rpm (operating system requirements) which might have some xorg-x11 libraries as dependencies.
