Hello Vishnu,

Please refer to SDS 6.4 Download document:

For Windows: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/582851
(for other platforms just click on relevant tab with in the above tech note to take you to correct OS of your interest).

Scroll down in that page to find the table with heading "IBM WebSphere Application Server, Version 8.5.5 Base (multiplatform and multilingual)".

This table presents the part numbers which you may be able to download from Passport site (if you have correct entitlements).

Once after unpacking the first three parts in the same folder, you should be able to use that folder in Installation Manager to install the 8.5.5 base level of WAS. 

I'd also suggest you to update the WAS with latest fix pack levels.

If you need further assistance, please proceed to open a Case with "Directory Server" support team.

I hope this helps,
Thanks,
Ram.

Hi Ramamohan

Do you think it could be a more practical approach for IBM customer managing a fleet of ISDS V6.4 servers (Linux for instance) to deploy a separate ISDS Virtual Appliance 8.0.1.x for the sole purpose of using the pre-installed Liberty/Web Administration Tool (WAT) ? Then when there are bugs or CVEs that needs addressing for the ISDS WAT, applying an Appliance firmware such as 8.0.1.12 (or fixpack) is a much easier task (can be automated using Ansible) than rolling out a new Liberty Fix Pack on Linux and so on (not even considering the extra effort of installing first Liberty on a separate node with all the required prerequisites).

The pre-configured sdsinst1 LDAP server on the ISDS Appliance could then be left stopped as it would not be used.

Just my 2 cents.

Ramamohan, this is a valid point and thank you to raising it. Customer must be entitled to download ISDS VA. That being said, pretty much (I believe) all customer of ISAM or ISIM (licensed in UVU mode) should probably all be entitled to either download ISDS V6.4 or ISDS 8.0.x along the core licensed product (ISIM or ISAM). For other customers, yes this may be a different story.
