B.1.1 Supported Web Browsers

B.1.2 Caveats

  • In order for some iManager wizards and help to work, you must enable pop-up windows in your Web browser.

  • iManager 2.7 can coexist in the same eDirectory tree with iManager 2.6.

  • If your network has more than three servers, or one or more servers that do not host eDirectory replicas, you must have SLP properly configured for iManager to log in. For more information, see SLP in the OES 2015 SP1: Planning and Implementation Guide.

  • iManager 2.7 can manage any server running Novell eDirectory 8.6.2 or later.

  • iManager 2.7 plug-ins are not compatible with previous versions of iManager. Additionally, any custom plug-ins you want to use with iManager 2.7 must be re-compiled in the iManager 2.7 environment.

B.1.3 Upgrading to iManager 2.7

In light of the Caveats mentioned above, Micro Focus recommends that you simply install iManager 2.7.x on your OES or later servers and download all of the plug-ins that apply to your services. For more information, see the NetIQ iManager Installation Guide.
