2.1 Where to Install the Driver

You must decide whether to install the driver locally or remotely. After you’ve decided where to install the driver, continue with Section 2.2, Meeting Requirements for the Driver.

2.1.1 Installing Locally

A local installation installs the driver on the same computer where you have installed the Lotus Domino server, the Identity Vault, and Identity Manager.

It is recommended that you always load the Identity Manager driver for Lotus Note using the Remote Loader, even if the driver is installed on the same machine as the Identity Vault and Identity Manager.

Figure 2-1 Use the Remote Loader for Local System Configurations

2.1.2 Installing Remotely

A remote installation typically installs the driver on a different computer than the one where Identity Manager and the Identity Vault are installed. You must use this option when Domino and the Identity Vault are not on the same server.

Figure 2-2 When Domino and the Identity Vault Are On Different Servers

When installing the Notes driver on AIX, Solaris, or Linux, the driver requires the Remote Loader to be installed in the same location. Novell recommends using the Remote Loader with the Notes driver in order to reduce the effects of potential errors caused by a driver policy, which may adversely affect the Domino server’s operation.
