Identity Manager contains a visual configuration tool that provides a simple yet powerful way to design and configure Identity Manager projects. Designer for Identity Manager allows you to:
Graphically model the implementation
Re-use configurations to help reduce deployment time
Create and test scenarios to ensure proper policy definition before deploying in production
Automatically generate project documentation for all implementation details
Use the offline mode to safely configure implementations outside of the production environment
Design and manage policies
Drivers can be deployed through Designer or iManager. Novell® recommends that you use Designer to configure and test the drivers, and that you use iManager for administration after drivers are deployed into your environment. For more information about Designer, see the Designer 2.1 for Identity Manager 3.5.1 .
