Anybody here ever try to install CiscoSecure ACS on Solaris on an Intel box?
I asked a related question before, when apparently the installation couldn't
find java for some reason, even though java was on the system (and in the
PATH and all that).  I solved this problem by just manually creating a soft
link to the java executable at the place where the Ciscosecure looked for
java (although I still don't understand why the installation script doesn't
have instructions to create the link itself).

But now it still is unable to create the database files.  Apparently, there
is some error where a particular script uses an input file, but the input
file is pure jibberish, so the script fails.  And because the script fails,
the database tables are never created, and because of that, the ACS cannot
start.  I will post the exact error message if anybody is interested.


But now I am wondering if it is possible to do this at all.  If there are
all these of problems in installing it, maybe it was just not meant to be.
Maybe running the Solaris version of ACS requires a SPARC-based workstation
(a Sparcstation or an Ultra),  and it is just not possible for Solaris ACS
to be on an Intel box (so I would have to use the Windows ACS).  I thought
that the operating system would provide an abstraction layer for
applications, so that the ACS wouldn't care what hardware Solaris was
running on, just as long as it is running.  But then again, I ain't no
Solaris superstar, so maybe I'm wrong.

So what I want to know is - has anybody ever successfully installed Solaris
on a x86 PC and then successfully installed the CiscoSecure ACS (with the
default SQLanywhere database)?  If so, did you get the kinds of errors that
I'm getting and how did you resolve them?  If you did not get these errors,
then why do you think I'm getting errors?  Or if you did not use
SQLanywhere, and used, say, Oracle, could you provide some simple
instructions as to how to go about installing Oracle so that ACS can use it
(I have the Oracle CD's, but I'm no Oracle guru)?

Thanx in advance
