# Installation Prerequisites

Autoform DM SSO has the following infrastructure requirements and dependencies.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> The information on this page applies only to self-hosted cloud and on-premises Autoform DM systems.
> 
> 
> 
> For Lasernet Group customers, software installation and configuration is done by the Lasernet Group. So, the only prerequisite is that [a supported IdP](/v1/docs/technology-and-sso-flow) is available and that a clear security design and plan for user, group, and environment usage has been devised.

## Autoform DM

Autoform DM 10.2 or later must be installed.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> It is assumed that an instance of Autoform DM that is configured to use HTTPS is available.
> 
> For Autoform DM installation instructions, see [Installation Guide](/v1/docs/autoform-dm-installation-guide).

## Keycloak

A running instance of Keycloak must be available and accessible to Autoform DM, end users, and any external services that want to use Autoform DM. This instance of Keycloak will require:

- A supported database (which will store the Keycloak configuration).

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> KeyCloak supports a number of database vendors, including MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle. We recommend using Microsoft SQL Server 2017 or later.
- That a JDK compatible with KeyCloak is installed and configured for KeyCloak to use.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> Use the latest LTS release of Java 11.
- SSL certificates (to secure network communications).
- That [a supported IdP](/v1/docs/technology-and-sso-flow) is available and populated with the users and groups that will access Autoform DM.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> High-level privileges in the IdP will be required to create the infrastructure needed to connect this to Autoform DM.

You must also consider whether access to Keycloak will be through a reverse proxy. Instructions are provided in the Configure Access to Keycloak via Proxy section of [Install and Configure Keycloak](/v1/docs/install-configure-keycloak).
