2.2.1 Installing Locally

A local installation installs the Lotus Notes driver on the same computer where you have installed the Lotus Domino server, the Identity Vault, and Identity Manager. However, if you find there is too much contention for Domino server resources, consider Section 2.2.2, Installing Locally On a Notes Client Workstation.

Figure 2-1 Use the Remote Loader for Local System Configurations

It is recommended that you always use the Remote Loader to load the Identity Manager driver for Lotus Notes, even if the driver is installed on the same machine as the Identity Vault and Identity Manager. For Windows installation, after you follow the steps in Installing Identity Manager on Windows , complete the installation process by following the steps in Installing the Connected System Option on Windows in the Identity Manager 3.5.1 Installation Guide . See Section 2.4.2, Installing the Lotus Notes Driver on Windows with the Identity Manager Connected System for the main steps.

For UNIX/Linux installations, see Section 2.4.3, Installing the Lotus Notes Driver through the GUI Interface On Linux Platforms or Section 2.4.4, Using the Command Line to Install the Driver on UNIX/Linux.

2.2.2 Installing Locally On a Notes Client Workstation

A local installation on a Notes client workstation installs the driver on the same computer where you have installed the Lotus Notes client. This option is the recommended installation practice.

It is recommended that you always use the Remote Loader to load the Identity Manager driver for Lotus Notes. For Windows installation, see Section 2.4.2, Installing the Lotus Notes Driver on Windows with the Identity Manager Connected System. For UNIX/Linux installations, see Section 2.4.3, Installing the Lotus Notes Driver through the GUI Interface On Linux Platforms or Section 2.4.4, Using the Command Line to Install the Driver on UNIX/Linux.

2.2.3 Installing the Driver Remotely on a Domino Server

A remote installation typically installs the driver on a different computer than the one where Identity Manager and the Identity Vault are installed. You must use this option when Domino and the Identity Vault are not on the same server. See Section 2.4.2, Installing the Lotus Notes Driver on Windows with the Identity Manager Connected System.

Figure 2-2 When Domino and the Identity Vault Are On Different Servers

When you install the Notes driver on a Domino server that is running on AIX, Solaris, or Linux, the driver requires the Remote Loader to be installed in the same location. Novell recommends using the Remote Loader with the Notes driver in order to reduce the effects of potential errors caused by a driver policy, which might adversely affect the Domino server’s operation. See Section 2.4.3, Installing the Lotus Notes Driver through the GUI Interface On Linux Platforms or Section 2.4.4, Using the Command Line to Install the Driver on UNIX/Linux.
