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.But if you do deploy Stages behind a web server (i.e. Apache or IIS), please ensure that:

When using configuration management system integration (e.g. IBM Rational ClearCase, CVS), a client installation of the respective configuration management system is required on the server.

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.
