What additional requirement is necessary for a MID server on a 64-bit Linux system?

A MID server installed on a 64-bit Linux system requires the 32-bit GNU C Library (glibc) as an additional requirement because the ServiceNow MID server application itself is typically built in a way that requires certain 32-bit libraries to function correctly. Many applications, including the MID server, use time-tested 32-bit libraries due to compatibility reasons, even on a 64-bit system. This ensures that the necessary support for various intrinsic operations, functions, and system calls can be successfully executed by the MID server.

The need for the 32-bit glibc specifically arises from the fact that certain Java applications, including those run by the MID server, rely on these libraries for proper execution. By providing a compatible environment through the installation of the 32-bit version of glibc, the MID server can function without compatibility issues that may arise if only 64-bit libraries were available.

In contrast, the other options, while they may pertain to different environments or use cases, do not directly address the critical need for library support on a 64-bit Linux system for the MID server to operate effectively.
