Setting up Novell^® Nsure^TM Resources is, in essence, orchestrating the communication of several systems. The following checklist outlines the high-level setup process; it should be completed in the order shown. Detailed information for this solution is provided in the Novell Nsure Resources Deployment Guide in the DOCUMENTATION directory on the Novell Nsure Resources CD. Detailed information for each of the components that comprise this solution is available with the component.

• Install Novell DirXML

  Where: On the server where eDirectory was installed.

  Why: Provides the engine for provisioning drivers.

  File location: The DirXML^® installation launches when you insert the Novell Nsure Resources CD.
