* If needed for demo or even production purposes, OpenLDAP will be spun up and seeded with some demo users. OpenLDAP will be spun up with SSL enabled, as needed later for setting up IBM WebSphere Application Server properly.
* IBM TDI will be installed, configured, and run to populate profiles database in IBM DB2 with users from OpenLDAP
* IBM Installation Manager will be set up on the nodes where IBM WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment needs to be installed.
* IBM WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment will be set up where needed. Currently we tested it with Fixpack 21. By default, FP21 is going to be installed. Deployment manager and nodeagents profiles are going to be created, application security enabled, TLS certificated imported from LDAP, LDAP configured up to the point where it is ready to install HCL Connections 8.

The suggestion is to have them all downloaded in a single location, and for this you would need at least 50G of disk space. Run a small HTTP server just to be able to serve them, it can be as simple as a single Ruby one liner to open web server on specific port so that automation can connect and download it.

#### Note: There is a known issue in IBM WebSphere 8.5.5 Fixpack 22 where retrieve from port using TLS v1.3 or v1.2 ciphers may not work. See [PH49497: RETRIEVE FROM PORT NOT HONORING SSL PROTOCOL](https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/apar/PH49497) for details. Contact HCL Connections support or IBM WebSphere support for the iFix 8.5.5.22-WS-WAS-IFPH49497.zip and put it in the was855FP22 directory as the example below.
