Where to Install the Driver

You must decide whether to install the driver locally or remotely. After you've decided where to install the driver, continue with Meeting Requirements for the Driver.


Installing Locally

A local installation installs the driver on the same computer where you have installed the Lotus Domino server, eDirectory, and Identity Manager.

If you are using Linux, Solaris, or AIX, you must always load the driver using Remote Loader, even if the driver is installed on the same machine as eDirectory and Identity Manager.

IMPORTANT:  Regardless of whether you pick a local or remote installation, the driver must always run on the same computer where the Lotus Domino server is installed.


Local installation for Windows doesn't require Remote Loader


Local installation for Linux or Solaris does require the Remote Loader


Installing Remotely

A remote installation installs the driver on a different computer than the one where Identity Manager and eDirectory are installed. You should use this option when Domino and eDirectory are not on the same server.

IMPORTANT:  Regardless of whether you pick a local or remote installation, the driver must always run on the same computer where the Lotus Domino server is installed.
