For a smoother installation, complete the Section 1.4, Installation Planning Worksheet before beginning, and refer to it during the installation process.
An overview of the process of installing the driver follows. For detailed step-by-step instructions, see the Quick Start guide for your operating system type. If you are upgrading from Account Management 3.0, see Section B.0, Migrating from Novell Account Management 3.0 for additional information.
Verify that the prerequisites have been met. For details, see Section 1.3, Requirements.

Obtain the core driver distribution package for your target operating system.
Run the core driver installation program and respond to the prompts, performing initial configuration.
Configure the Identity Manager driver.
Populate your Census with the users and groups that you will use for your initial testing.
To do this, define Census Search objects and then run a Census Trawl. For details about this procedure, see Configuring the Census.
The installation of the core driver creates indexes for specific attributes of objects in eDirectory™. For installation into a very large tree, these indexes take some time to bring online. Before you begin your first Trawl, verify that the indexes are in the online state. For the attributes indexed by the core driver installation, see the list that follows this procedure.
To view the Server object indexes and their state:
In iManager, select > .
Select the Server object for the core driver.

For details, see Section 3.4.1, Rights Required for Web Interface Use.
Define the UID/GID Sets that you will use for your initial testing. For details, see Configuring UNIX UID/GID Sets.
Define the Platform Sets that you will use for your initial testing. For details, see Configuring Platform Sets.
You must define at least one UID/GID Set before you can define a Platform Set.
Define the platforms that you will use for your initial testing. For details, see Configuring Platforms.
You must define at least one Platform Set before you can define a platform.
After testing, install additional core drivers for performance and redundancy.
Activate the Identity Manager Fan-Out driver.
You can use the driver for evaluation purposes for 90 days. The driver will not work thereafter unless it has been activated. For details, see Section 2.3, Activating the Driver.
Fully deploy the Fan-Out driver throughout your enterprise as you gain confidence and experience.
