If the vendor for your operating system recommends installing the latest service packs, patch-bundles, and fixes, Software AG encourages you to follow that recommendation. If you experience problems with installed service packs, patch-bundles, or fixes, report those problems directly to the vendor.

If you are going to install on a Linux system, the library libcrypt.so must be present to support the security infrastructure, or the login using OS user names/authentication will not work. If you do not see the libcrypt.so file in the /usr/lib64 directory for Linux x86_64, or /usr/lib for Linux x86, install the rpm package glibc-devel.

If you are going to install on a Linux x86_64 system, install the rpm package compat-libstdc++ from your operating system distribution using the vendor instructions.

If you are going to install on a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP1 system, and you have configured the system to use the Blowfish algorithm to encrypt user passwords, download and install patch 18 Aug 2011 - glibc 4944 from Novell Support. This patch fixes an operating system bug relating to user authentication. For detailed information, see Novell’s SUSE Security Announcement: SUSE-SA:2011:035.
