Environment

 

Policy Server: All Versions
Policy Server OS: Redhat

 

Cause

 

A 64 bit JRE was used for the Policy Server installation instead of a
32 bit JRE.

 

Resolution

 

Install the 32-bit JRE (which is shipped with the JDK) and update the
environment variables %NETE_JRE_ROOT% and %PATH% to point to the
32-bit JRE.
