Our organization held a meeting concerning Java. A long story made short, we’ve been directed that all instances of Java in our enterprise should be removed (or replaced with an open source product) if possible. Our job as SP Engineers is to perform that removal or replacement, or to report to that removal/replacement isn’t possible and would make SP non-functional with removal.
We are currently using IIQ but will be migrating to Security Cloud within the next year.
Does anyone have experience with this or know? Thank you!
Are you familiar with AWS Corretto? If Java isn’t required for overall application functionality we were wondering if this might be a good alternative. As of right now our servers and self-service servers all have Java instances present on them.
IIQ definitelly needs java as it runs in your local environment on application server but you are clear to use open source jdk. Here are supported jdks for IIQ 8.4
Would we need to upgrade from 8.2p3 to be able to administer Open JDK? We’ve found that Oracle now has a commercial fee so we were looking into OpenJDK anyway.
We are currently IIQ 8.2p3 but within the next year will start our migration to the Cloud. Just trying to find the most sensible course of action.
No, you don’t have to upgrade as openjdk is supported for quite long time eg. It is supported in 8.1 also, here you can see extract from 8.1 installation guide
This makes sense! I’d assume since Java/openJDK (one of the two) is necessary for the IIQ servers that it is also necessary for both the application and self-service (myidentity) servers as well.
