  2. Know your Web services setup.

    iManager must be installed on a web or a middleware server. Your web/middleware server must have the necessary Web services: an HTTP server, a servlet container, and a Java* Virtual Machine. Refer to the installation instructions for each platform in Installing Novell iManager .

  3. Install the iManager 1.5 software.

    Make sure you have admin-equivalent rights.

  4. Restart the server.

  5. At a machine running Internet Explorer 5.5 or later (recommended) or Netscape* 6.2 or later, enter the following URL:

    http://server_ip_address:port_number/eMFrame/iManager.html

  6. Set up your roles and tasks using the iManager Configuration Wizard.

    The iManager Configuration Wizard will launch the first time you run iManager, but you can launch the wizard anytime by clicking Configure > Plug-in Setup and Install > Configure iManager.
