Prerequisites
This section lists the software and hardware requirements you must meet to run the driver.
Software Requirements
- NsureTM Identity Manager with the latest patches and product updates
For patches and product updates for Novell® products, see Product Updates.
- The software requirements listed for Identity Manager, in "Installation" in the Novell Nsure Identity Manager 2 Administration Guide.
- A Zone Integration Server and student information environment that complies with SIF standard 1.1 or 1.5r1.
NOTE: If necessary, the driver can be used with a student information system that is not SIF-enabled, as described in Sending Data from eDirectory to SIF.
- One of the following server operating systems:
- Novell NetWare® 6 or 6.5 with the latest Support Pack (you must obtain and install JVM 1.4.2 on NetWare)
- Windows NT*, 2000, or 2003 with the latest Service Pack
The Identity Manager Driver for SIF supports only English versions of NetWare and Windows.
- One of the following eDirectory versions:
- eDirectory 8.6.2 with the latest Support Pack
- eDirectory 8.7.3 with the latest Support Pack
Hardware Considerations
- Identity Manager and the Identity Manager Driver for SIF use approximately 5% of the system's memory and CPU for each Zone it connects to.
- An Identity Manager-dedicated NetWare system with a 1 gHz processor and 1 GB memory can support connecting to 10 Zones.
- In production, the driver's poll rate should be set at 900 seconds or higher.
