- SafeNet Luna SA Network HSM v5.4.1
Policy Manager
- A machine running one of the supported platforms for the Policy Manager listed above
- Dedicated workstation recommended, to minimize security risks
- When running the Policy Manager on Linux or Solaris, a Java 8 JDK must be properly installed and the JAVA_HOME environment set to the JDK installation directory path
- When running the Policy Manager on Linux, a modern file system such as ext2/ext3 that supports full Linux file semantics instead of a FAT32/NTFS partition. The FAT32/NTFS partition does not allow uid, gid, and symlinks
- Java version 1.8
- Network access to one or more Gateways with a valid HTTP URI, through port 8443.
- If running browser client version: ensure Java 8 Update 102 or higher is installed, with a supported Web browser
Web Browsers
Browser support for the Policy Manager Browser Client.
Browser | Supported Versions |
Internet Explorer | Tested against latest versions |
Firefox | Tested against latest versions Firefox is usable only in Java Web Start mode. This browser no longer supports the older browser client technology involving the Java applet. For more information, see Start the Policy Manager. |
Chrome | Not supported |
Other browsers not listed above may work, but CA Technologies cannot not ensure performance, security, and compatibility if used.

It is important to note the difference between the CA Single Sign-On Identity Provider and the CA Single Sign-On SDK:
- The versions listed in the table above describe the versions of the CA Single Sign-OnPolicy Serverthat is supported when the Authenticate Against CA Single Sign-On Assertion is used to authenticate credentials.
- The CA Single Sign-OnSDKthat is currently provided in the distribution archives is version 12.52 SP01 CR4, which is compatible only with RHEL 6 or earlier. This is the reason why RHEL 7 is excluded specifically in Install the CA Single Sign-On SDK for Software Gateways.
