This section outlines the high-level business policy planning and project management aspects of implementing DirXML®.
This planning material provides an overview of the activities that would normally be taken from the inception of a DirXML project to its full production deployment. Implementing an identity management strategy requires you to discover what the needs are and who the stakeholders are in your environment, design a solution, get buy-in from stakeholders, and test and roll out the solution. This section is intended to provide you with sufficient understanding of the process so that you can maximize the benefit from working with DirXML.
We strongly recommend that a DirXML expert be engaged to assist in each phase of the solution deployment. For more information about partnership options, see the Novell Nsure Solution Partner Web site. Novell Education also offers courses that address DirXML implementation.
This section is not exhaustive; it is not intended to address all possible configurations, nor is it intended to be rigid in its execution. Each environment is different and will require flexibility in the type of activities to be used.
