If you do not want to install eDirectory and Identity Manager on the server that has Active Directory installed on it, use the Remote Loader service. The Remote Loader service is installed and then connects to the server running Identity Manager. For installation instructions see, Deciding Whether to Use the Remote Loader
in the Novell Identity Manager 3.5.1 Administration Guide.
If you decide to use the Remote Loader and install it on a member server, you must configure the driver using an SSL connection between the Remote Loader and the Identity Manager server. For more information on how to set up an SSL connection, see Providing for Secure Data Transfers
in the Novell Identity Manager 3.5.1 Administration Guide.
