Prerequisites
This section lists the software and hardware requirements you must meet to run the driver.
Software Requirements
- NsureTM Identity Manager with the latest patches and product updates
For patches and product updates for Novell(R) products, see Product Updates.
- The software requirements listed for Identity Manager, in "Installation" in the Novell Nsure Identity Manager 2 Administration Guide.
- A Zone Integration Server and student information environment that complies with SIF standard 1.1.
: If necessary, the driver can be used with a student information system that is not SIF-enabled, as described in Sending Data from eDirectory to SIF.
- One of the following server operating systems:
- Novell NetWare(R) 5.1 or NetWare 6.5, with the latest Support Pack
- Windows NT* 4.0 with Service Pack 6a or later, or Windows 2000 Professional or Server with the latest service pack
This release of the DirXML Driver for SIF supports only English versions of NetWare and Windows.
Hardware Considerations
- Identity Manager and the DirXML Driver for SIF use 5% to 10% of the system's memory and CPU for each Zone it connects to.
- A Identity Manager-dedicated NetWare system with a 1 gHz processor and 1 GB memory can support connecting to 10 Zones.
- In production, the driver's poll rate should be set at 300 seconds or higher.
