2.4 Installing the Lotus Notes Driver During Identity Manager Installation

During the installation of Identity Manager, you can select multiple components to install. Installing Identity Manager on Windows in the Identity Manager 3.5.1 Installation Guide walks you through installing the Metadirectory engine with the Lotus Notes driver and its driver utilities. Use this procedure if you are installing the Lotus Notes driver on the same computer where you are installing the Lotus Domino server, the Identity Vault, and Identity Manager.

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 Section 2.4.1, Installing the Lotus Notes Driver on Windows with the Identity Manager Metadirectory Server, complete the Remote Loader installation process by following the steps in Section 2.4.2, Installing the Lotus Notes Driver on Windows with the Identity Manager Connected System.

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

A remote installation typically installs the Lotus Notes 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. If you are installing the Notes driver on a Domino server running on Windows, go to Section 2.4.2, Installing the Lotus Notes Driver on Windows with the Identity Manager Connected System.

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 may 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 and select 2 to install the connected system software (Remote Loader).

2.4.1 Installing the Lotus Notes Driver on Windows with the Identity Manager Metadirectory Server

Follow the steps found in Installing Identity Manager on Windows in the Identity Manager 3.5.1 Installation Guide to install the Metadirectory engine with the Lotus Notes driver and its driver utilities. Ensure the following steps are a part of the installation process.

  1. During the Identity Manager installation process, select the Novell Identity Manager Metadirectory Server option, as well as the drivers you want to install, including the Lotus Notes driver.

  2. (Optioinal) Select the components to install, including the Lotus Notes Discovery Tool option if you need this tool.

  3. After you have installed the Identity Manager Metadirectory Server, it is recommended that you complete the Remote Loader installation process by following the steps in Section 2.4.2, Installing the Lotus Notes Driver on Windows with the Identity Manager Connected System.

  4. To configure the Lotus Notes driver, see Section 2.5, Importing the Notes Driver Configuration File in iManager or Section 2.6, Installing the Lotus Notes Driver through Designer.

2.4.2 Installing the Lotus Notes Driver on Windows with the Identity Manager Connected System

Use this installation procedure for a local installation on a Notes client workstation, and for a remote installation when Domino and the Identity Vault are not on the same server.

Follow the steps found in Installing the Connected System Option on Windows in the Identity Manager 3.5.1 Installation Guide to install the Lotus Notes driver and its driver utilities. Ensure that the following steps are a part of the installation process.

  1. During the Identity Manager installation process, first click Clear All, then select Connected System and Utilities. You should also select Identity Manager Web Components if you have the iManager utility installed on this server and you want Identity Manager plug-ins for Identity Manager and driver configurations added.

  2. Choose a directory to install the Novell Identity Manager Connected System, or keep the default. Click Next.

  3. On the Components To Install page, the Application Components selection installs components for such application systems as Lotus Notes. Select the utilities you want to install.

  4. If you are running iManager on this box, select Application Components and click Next.

  5. (Optional) Select the components to install, including the Lotus Notes Discovery Tool option if you need this tool, then click Next.

  6. To configure the Lotus Notes driver, see Section 2.5, Importing the Notes Driver Configuration File in iManager or Section 2.6, Installing the Lotus Notes Driver through Designer.

2.4.3 Installing the Lotus Notes Driver through the GUI Interface On Linux Platforms

A remote installation typically installs the Lotus Notes 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.

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.

Follow the steps found in Installing Identity Manager through the GUI Interface on UNIX/Linux Platforms in the Identity Manager 3.5.1 Installation Guide to install the Lotus Notes driver and its driver utilities. Ensure the following steps are a part of the installation process.

  1. During the Identity Manager installation process, select Custom. Select Remote Loader and Lotus Notes Driver on the Choose Install Set page. You should also select Identity Manager Plug-ins if you have the iManager utility installed on this server and you want Identity Manager plug-ins for Identity Manager and driver configurations added.

  2. By default, Identity Manager driver utilities are not installed on Linux/UNIX installations. You must manually copy the utilities from the Identity Manager installation CD to the Identity Manager server. All utilities are found under the platform’s \setup\utilities directory.

  3. To configure the Lotus Notes driver, see Section 2.5, Importing the Notes Driver Configuration File in iManager or Section 2.6, Installing the Lotus Notes Driver through Designer.

If you have installed the Identity Manager Metadirectory Server instead of the Remote Loader, it is still recommended that you rerun the installation procedure and install the Remote Loader through the Connected System option.

2.4.4 Using the Command Line to Install the Driver on UNIX/Linux

Follow the steps found in Using the Console To Install the Connected System Option on UNIX/Linux in the Identity Manager 3.5.1 Installation Guide to install the Remote Loader and the Lotus Notes driver. Ensure that the following steps are a part of the installation process.

  1. During the Identity Manager installation process, select 4-Customize. Select Remote Loader and Lotus Notes Driver on the Choose Install Set page. You should also select Identity Manager Plug-ins if you have the iManager utility installed on this server and you want Identity Manager plug-ins for Identity Manager and driver configurations added.

  2. By default, Identity Manager driver utilities are not installed on Linux/UNIX installations. You must manually copy the utilities from the Identity Manager installation CD to the Identity Manager server. All utilities are found under the platform’s \setup\utilities directory.

  3. To configure the Lotus Notes driver, see Section 2.5, Importing the Notes Driver Configuration File in iManager or Section 2.6, Installing the Lotus Notes Driver through Designer.

If you have installed the Identity Manager Metadirectory Server instead of the Remote Loader, it is still recommended that you rerun the installation procedure and install the Remote Loader through the Connected System option.
