Identity Manager Components and System Requirements

Nsure Identity Manager contains components that can be installed within your environment on multiple systems and platforms. Depending on your system configuration, you might need to run the Identity Manager installation program several times to install Identity Manager components on the appropriate systems.

The following table lists the four installation components of Identity Manager and requirements for each system.

Web-based Administration Server

  • DirXML and Password Management iManager plug-ins
  • Driver configurations
  • End user password self-service
  • eGuide

One of the following operating systems.

  • NetWare 6 or 6.5 with the latest Support Pack
  • Windows 2000, XP, or 2003 with the latest Service Pack
  • Linux Red Hat AS or ES 2.1

    (Glibc version 2.1.1 or later and Kernel version 2.2.xx or later.)

  • Solaris 8 or 9

The following software.

  • Novell iManager 2.0.2 (includes of Apache 2.0.44 or later and Tomcat 4.1.18 or later)
  • Browser support is determined by iManager 2.0.2. For details and known issues, refer to the Novell iManager 2.0.2 Administration Guide.
  • You must go through the iManager Configuration Wizard to install portal content into eDirectory. This is required to use Identity Manager tasks out of the box, such as Password Self-Service and Forgotten Password features.

    This can be done during installation of iManager, which is the default. If you choose not to do it during installation, you must do it post-installation.

  • If you are installing eGuide, you must have a Web server and an Application server installed prior to running the installation program.
  • If you install iManager 2.0.2 on the same server where eDirectory is installed, the version of eDirectory must be 8.7.3.
  • (Netware) In order to install Novell eGuide 2.1.2, a valid JVM must be installed on the server.
  • (Windows) The Novell ClientTM 4.83 is available from Novell Software Downloads.
  • When logging into other trees with iManager to manage remote Identity Manager servers, you might encounter errors if you use the server name instead of the IP address for the remote server. Additionally, the LDAP server group object in NDS must be configured to require TLS on simple binds, and the trusted root certificate of the remote tree must be imported as a trusted certificate onto the Web server.

DirXML Utilities

  • DirXML License Auditing Tool
  • Application Tools (AD, Notes, SAP, PeopleSoft, and JDBC)
  • Nsure Audit Setup tool

Refer to the Identity Manager Driver documentation for requirements specific to each system.
