What's New in Designer 3.0 M2
This release contains numerous enhancements, bug fixes,
updated driver configs, and improved help across the board - all built
on a new patent-pending architecture that allows you to share and
version your projects in a team environment. Because the change was so
large, we have been unable to provide a converter in this
milestone, but we provide steps to get your old project data.

Recent Customer Quotes |
“Designer is the key to helping us successfully model,
deploy, document and maintain the Identity Management projects at
our customers sites. It allows us to use the power of Novell
Identity Manager in an easy way, without the need for base coding
and xslt-specialism, and to leverage customer's understanding for
complex IDM solutions. A topmost usability feature is the ability
to work on the project at a glance without needing to switch
between several IDM servers. The development team is open to
enhancements, resulting in rich Designer functionality for each
step in development, documentation and maintenance of our Identity
Management solutions. In summary, Designer is a professional tool
for delivering professional solutions to satisfied customers. ”

“I have been working with Novell's Identity Manager since v1.1,
and while the early versions were powerful, they were also very
time consuming and difficult to develop solutions with. Now, with
IDM v3.5 and Designer, the power of the IDM policy engine is exposed
and development simplified and made significantly faster and easier.
Designer allows me to accomplish in a day what used to take weeks
or months, from basic driver prototyping and development through
testing, production deployment, and documentation. ”
