RSA Federated Identity Management (FIM) version 4.2 SP1
Apache TOMCAT 7 for Windows.
Issue
 FIM 4.2  SP1 cannot be used with Tomcat 7 windows service installation version
Deployment script fails to run.
Cause

Currently FIM invokes the scripts (catalina.bat/sh or startup.bat/sh etc..) available in the TOMCAT zip version for starting the FIM instance which are not available in the TOMCAT Windows Installer hence the deployment/startup scripts may not work for the installer version.

Cannot use the TOMCAT 7 windows service installer found here

?Core:
?zip (pgp, md5)
?tar.gz (pgp, md5)
?32-bit Windows zip (pgp, md5)
?64-bit Windows zip (pgp, md5)
?64-bit Itanium Windows zip (pgp, md5)
?32-bit/64-bit Windows Service Installer (pgp, md5)


Resolution
Use the windows.zip version of the TOMCAT 7 installer.
Notes
NOTE:- The reason zip version is used rather than the Installer version is because in zip version all TOMCAT scripts are available across platforms and FIM needed support on multiple platforms.
