It appears there is no longer a Peoplesoft driver for IDM 3.6 (?).

64-bit, but not all the way thru
Submitted by ecyoung on 6 August 2008 - 10:15am.
Is it true that you can't have a full 64-bit system, meaning 64-bit OS (SLES), 64-bit eDir 8.8.3, and 64-bit IDM 3.6, all on the same machine (and be fully supported of course).

Re: 64-bit, but not all the way thru

Because of the solid architecture of eDirectory and IDM, scalability has never been an issue on 32-bit eDir & IDM. That said, Currently 64-bit IDM 3.6 is not yet publicly available. 64-bit IDM 3.6 is definitely on Novell's Roadmap. 64-bit eDir is a step towards it.
Supported version of 64-bit IDM 3.6 should be available on several platforms in first half of 2009 unless priorities change.
Thanks & Regards,
Kamal
