iManager 2.5 can be installed on a server (with or without eDirectory) or on a client workstation (Linux* or Windows*).
Before upgrading to iManager 2.5, delete any iManager 2.0.2 field patches from the iManager 2.0.2 packages directory. The following are platform-specific locations of this directory:
The npm file that you must delete is similar in name to iMan202_x.npm, where x is the field patch number.
NOTE:When installing iManager 2.5 on Novell Linux Desktop (NLD), review the following TIDs for additional information:
The following prerequisites apply to all server platforms. Additional platform-specific prerequisites are listed by platform in “Installing a New Version of iManager of iManager, p 11.
Supported Browsers: To run iManager, you need a workstation with Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1, Mozilla 1.7, or Mozilla* Firefox* 1.0.
IMPORTANT:Although you might be able to access iManager via a Web browser not listed, we do not guarantee or support full functionality.
eDirectory Management: iManager 2.5 can manage any server running Novell eDirectory 8.6.2 or later.
eDirectory Coexistence: iManager 2.5 can coexist on a server with eDirectory 8.7.3 or later installed.
Admin-Equivalent Rights: For the creation of a Role-Based Services (RBS) collection in the eDirectory tree and to run the iManager RBS Configuration Wizard, you must have admin-equivalent rights.
Server Memory: You must have a minimum of 512 MB of RAM in the server where you are installing or running iManager. 1024 MB is recommended. Specific hardware requirements are listed under each individual server platform in “Installing iManager, p 11.
Port Setup: To avoid port conflicts, find out which ports are in use on the server where you will install iManager and determine whether they will conflict with ports used by iManager. Versions of Apache and Tomcat installed with iManager attempt to use ports 80, 443, 8009, 8080, and 8005. If these ports are in use by another service, such as eDirectory, a problem is likely to occur. Installation instructions for each platform are located on page 11.
