Chapter 5. Red Hat Directory Server 10.1
5.1. System Requirements
This section contains information related to installing and upgrading Red Hat Directory Server 10.1, including prerequisites and hardware or platform requirements.
5.1.1. Required JRE
Red Hat Directory Server 10.1 requires Oracle Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.8.0 or OpenJDK 1.8.0 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Note that you only need the JRE for the Directory Server Console.
Important
It is not possible to manage instances of Directory Server older than 8.1 (which used JDK 1.5) with the 10.1 Directory Server Console because they are using different JRE versions. You must migrate any older instance to Directory Server 10.1 if you need to manage that instance with the Directory Server Console.
