Prior to installing any WSO2 Carbon based product, it is necessary to have the appropriate prerequisite software installed on your system. Verify that the computer has the supported operating system and development platforms before starting the installation.
...
Operating Systems/Databases/User Stores | - All WSO2 Carbon-based products are Java applications that can be run on any platform that is Oracle JDK 7/8 compliant. Also, we do not recommend OpenJDK as we do not support it or test our products with it.
- All WSO2 Carbon-based products are generally compatible with most common DBMSs. The embedded H2 database is suitable for development, testing, and some production environments. For most enterprise production environments, however, we recommend you use an industry-standard RDBMS such as Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MS SQL, etc. For more information, see Working with Databases. Additionally, we do not recommend the H2 database for use as a user store.
- WSO2 Identity Server is shipped with a default embedded Apache DS. However, in a production environment, it is recommended to use an LDAP like OpenLDAP, due to scalability issues that exist with Apache DS.
- For environments that WSO2 products are tested with, see Environments Tested with WSO2 Products.
See the known incompatibilities section to find out if this version of the product has issues running on your OS due to the JDK version. - If you have difficulty in setting up any WSO2 product in a specific platform or database, please contact us.

These applications are mandatory and are required to run the binary distribution of the WSO2 product. The binary distribution contains the binary files for both MS Windows, and Linux-based operating systems. It is recommended for most users.

| Some updates of JDK 1.8 (for example, JDK1.8.0_151) are affected by a known issue related to GZIP decoding. Until this issue is fixed, we recommend one of the following approaches: - Use either JDK1.8.0_144 or JDK1.8.0_077 updates. We have verified that these versions are not affected by the known issue.
- Alternatively, you can disable GZIP decoding for your product by following the steps given below. This will ensure that your product is not affected by the known issue.
- Open the
catalina-server.xml file from the <IS_HOME>/repository/conf/tomcat/ directory. Set the compression parameter (under each of the connector configurations) to false as shown below: | Code Block |
|---|
compression="off" |
- Restart the server.

| If you are using an Oracle JDK version lower than 8u161, you need to download the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy files from here and add the files to the security directory of your Java installation to avoid illegal key size errors when you try to invoke a secured Web service. |
- Oracle and IBM JRE 1.7 are also supported when running (not building) WSO2 products.
- We do not recommend OpenJDK.
