IAG ActiveX client components are supported only on client endpoints running Windows operating systems with an Internet Explorer browser. For online installation, the browser must be configured to enable the download and running of signed ActiveX objects.
The Whale Component Manager ActiveX object installs the other client components. For initial online installation of Whale Component Manager, administrator privileges are required on the client endpoint.
Java client components cannot be installed using offline installation.
For Java client components, when IAG is not running SP2 JRE version 1.4 is required. IAG SP2 requires JRE version 1.5.
In IAG SP2, initial installation of the Endpoint Detection Java applet and the Attachment Wiper Java applet requires administrator privileges on the client endpoint.
There are no specific requirements for the IAG Client Trace and Socket Forwarding Helper components.
Although browsers other than those in the table above may be functional for site access, for full feature functionality only the listed browsers are supported.
