Novell Documentation: Identity Manager Drivers - Active Directory Prerequisites

2.1 Active Directory Prerequisites

Novell® Identity Manager 3.0.1 and its prerequisites, as listed in the Installing Identity Manager section in the Identity Manager 3.0.1 Installation Guide.
Windows 2003 Server, or Windows 2000 Server with Service Pack 2 or later.
Internet Explorer 5.5 or later on the server running the Active Directory (AD) driver and on the target domain controller.
Active Directory domain controller DNS name or IP address, depending on the authentication method.

Also, we recommend that the server hosting the Active Directory driver be a member of the Active Directory domain. This is required to provision Exchange mailboxes and synchronize passwords. If you don’t require these features, the server can be a member of any domain as long as the Simple (simple bind) authentication mode is used. To have bidirectional password synchronization function, the Negotiate authentication option must be selected.
