System Requirements for Stages 7.11
Client Requirements
Stages is a web application, so a recent web browser is required on the clients.
| Browser | Supported Versions |
|---|---|
| Google Chrome | Latest Version |
| Microsoft Edge | Latest Version |
| Mozilla Firefox | Latest Version |
| Mobile Safari | Latest Version |
Note: The browser must have cookies and JavaScript enabled.
For full security support in Mozilla Firefox the browser setting “network.http.sendOriginHeader” needs to be enabled. This is already the case by default unless it has explicitly been set to the value “0”.
Server Requirements
Stages is a Java application and is executed on a Tomcat application server. The application server is automatically installed together with Stages.
The application server also acts as a web server. Thus, no additional web server (i.e. Apache or IIS) is required. If you do deploy Stages behind a web server (i.e. Apache or IIS), please ensure that:
- the https and wss (web socket) protocol URLs are forwarded for /stages and below.
- the https protocol URLs are forwarded for /reporting and below.
- the https protocol URLs are forwarded for /pkit and below, if you want the V6 Stages bookmarks to be redirected to their V7 counterparts.
Running Stages with a permanent license requires the Stages server machine to have a fixed IP address.
If the Stages user database should be synchronized with a Windows Active Directory Server via LDAP, a read-only user account on the ActiveDirectory server is required.
Stages is approved to run on virtualized environments, if sufficient resource isolation is assured (e.g. that intense CPU usage on another VM cannot degrade the Stages application VM performance).
