Administering the 4620 Thin Client Directory
Application Platform Requirements
D-3
Application Platform Requirements 5
It is the LAN or System Administrator’s responsibility to provide and configure the LDAP server
and the operating environment on which the Thin Client Directory will be installed.
The recommended server configuration is Red Hat for Linux 8.0 (or greater) software; this version
facilitates optimal, automatic Thin Client Directory application installation. Other configurations (not
recommended by Avaya) require HTTP/Apache 2.0 and PHP Version 4.2.0 (with Version 4.2.4
preferred).

Pre-Installation Requirements (Apache/PHP) 5
Before installing the Thin Client Directory application, the PHP Apache module (included with Red
Hat 8.0) must be installed. If necessary, you can download this module for free from the
http://www.php.net/downloads.php website. Go to http://www.php.net for installation instructions,
otherwise, the distribution you download will contain its own set of installation instructions.
If you are not using Red Hat 8.0 or greater, Apache must be configured to accept PHP so the web
server recognizes it. This process differs depending on whether PHP is being installed on Linux or
Windows. Further configuration variations depend on the Apache version installed.
Avaya-Provided Download Files 5
Two Thin Client Directory application versions are available from the Avaya website at:
http://avaya.com/support
The recommended download version (avayadir-1.0-1.0.i386.rpm) is for Red Hat Linux 8.0 (or
greater) installations only. This download allows the Red Hat Package Manager to automatically
install the required directories and associated files in the correct locations.
The other version available is a Winzip-readable file, for those installations with Windows or any
other operating system that are not using Red Hat for Linux 8.0 (or greater). This version requires
you to select specific files to download and perform additional server/file customization to properly
install the Thin Client Directory application.
A README file containing Thin Client Directory Application installation instructions is also
available from the Avaya website, if needed.
