The following specifications refer to the components that are installed to provide the core iGrafx platform functionality as well as platform extensions that enable additional platform capabilities.
iGrafx Platform Browser Access
Applies to users accessing any iGrafx® product via a web browser.
Browser
For the best user experience, use the latest versions of Google Chrome™ or Microsoft Edge®.
Provided the browser version is still under official public support by their manufacturer, iGrafx supports Microsoft Edge®, Google Chrome™, and Mozilla Firefox®. Microsoft Internet Explorer® is no longer under official public support and is therefore no longer supported.
Mobile access works best on tablets with mobile versions of the browsers mentioned above, or those included with iOS® or Android™ operating systems, provided that both the browser and operating system are still under official public support by their manufacturer.
iGrafx® requires a web browser with HTML5 support.
JavaScript
JavaScript must be enabled.
iGrafx Platform Application Server
An iGrafx Platform deployment consists of minimum on application server and a database server (see below). For increased performance it is recommended to separate the application and database server on separate (virtual) hardware and not combine them on a single machine.
Java Application Server
Recommended
iGrafx pre-deployed Tomcat 9.0
Minimum / Compatible
Apache Tomcat 9.0
Java Virtual Machine (JVM)
Recommended
OpenJDK Java™ Runtime Environment version 21.0 or newer
Minimum / Compatible

Operating Systems
Windows
Recommended
All editions of Windows Server 2025
Minimum / Compatible
All editions of Windows Server 2025 All editions of Windows Server 2022 All editions of Windows Server 2019 All editions of Windows Server 2016 All editions of Windows Server 2012 R2
Windows 11.x Windows 10.x
Hardware
Please additionally check system requirements for your chosen Application Server and Operating System. The system requirements of the Application Server and Operating System supersede the iGrafx® System Requirements. The below requirements define the available free resources available for the operation of the specified iGrafx® software component on the Application Server.
Processor
Recommended
See Server Sizing Recommendations
Minimum / Compatible
Physical or virtual CPU, 3GHz or greater, 2 cores or more
Memory
Recommended
See Server Sizing Recommendations
Minimum
At least 2 GB available for the JVM
Storage
Minimum
500 MB of free hard disk space to be used by the application server itself, configuration files and log files.
Authentication
Recommended
SAML2
Minimum
Local and LDAP directory (i.e. Active Directory) via:
Basic (credentials), SAML2, Kerberos, Siteminder / CA**, J2EE preauthentication.
** Siteminder authentication not available for the iGrafx desktop client, see SiteMinder/CA SSO authentication.
SSL Protocols
Recommended
TLS 1.3
Minimum
SSL 2.0, SSL 3.0, TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2
Two Way SSL
Supported for accessing the iGrafx® Platform via a web browser.
Enforced two way SSL disables the use of the iGrafx desktop client.
HTTP Verbs/Methods
Firewall or other network settings must not block any of the following HTTP methods: GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE.
Database Server for iGrafx Platform
The iGrafx platform requires Microsoft SQL Server.
Please see the SQL Server documentation for system requirements of the database server.
Database sizing
The required space allocation for the database depends on the desired usage patterns, documents and objects stored in a repository. We recommend to separate the tables required for administration and the actual data of a repository into separate databases.
See Server Sizing Recommendations for common sizing and growth estimates.
Microsoft® SQL Server
Recommended
SQL Server 2025 Standard or Web Edition
Minimum / Compatible
All editions of:
SQL Server 2025 SQL Server 2022 SQL Server 2019 SQL Server 2017
