4.3 Installing Identity Manager on NetWare

This procedure covers the installation of the Metadirectory Server, Web Components, and Utilities for NetWare. Before you begin, make sure your system meets the requirements listed in Section 4.2, Identity Manager Components and System Requirements.

  1. Download and extract the Identity Manager installation file. You can download the Identity Manager installation file from Novell's Download site.

  2. Once you extract the file, type nwconfig at the server console prompt.

  3. Select Product Options > Install a Product Not Listed.

  4. Press F3 (F4 if you’re using RCONSOLE), then specify the path to the Identity Manager NetWare installation files in the \NW directory.

    The graphical installation utility starts after a few moments.

    You can also begin the installation process by going directly to the server GUI and selecting Install from the Novell icon. In the Installed Products screen, select Add. Then in the Source Path screen, type the path leading to the products.ni file in the \NW directory. Click OK.

  5. After the files have finished copying, the Identity Manager Product Installation page appears. Click Next to begin the installation.

  6. Read the license agreement, then click I Accept.

  7. Review the Overview pages describing the system types, which include the Metadirectory Server, the Web Components, and the Utilities. Click Next to continue.

    This information is also covered in the table under Section 4.2, Identity Manager Components and System Requirements.

  8. In the Identity Manager Install page, select the components you want to install: See Section 4.2, Identity Manager Components and System Requirements.

    Figure 4-3 Identity Manager Installation Options

    The following options are available. For most installations you will select all of the components.

    • Metadirectory Server: Installs the Metadirectory engine and service drivers. On the NetWare platform, these include Identity Manager Drivers for eDirectory, LDAP, JDBC, GroupWise, Delimited Text, Composer, Avaya, SOAP, SIF, and the Novell Audit agent. Selecting this option also extends the eDirectory schema.

      Novell eDirectory must be installed before you can install this option. Install the Metadirectory Server component where you want to run the Metadirectory engine for Identity Manager.

    • Connected System: Installs the Remote Loader that allows you to establish a link between the connected system and a server running the Metadirectory engine. For NetWare, this option also installs the following drivers: LDAP, JDBC, GroupWise, Composer, Avaya, SOAP, SIF, and Delimited Text.

      NOTE:For the NetWare installation of Identity Manager, this option is not available and you will not see it on the Install screen.

    • Identity Manager Web Components: This option installs the Identity Manager plug-ins and driver configurations.

      Novell iManager must be installed before you can install this option.

    • Utilities: Installs additional scripts for the JDBC driver and utilities for other drivers. Most drivers don't have a utility connected to them.

  9. Click Next.

  10. Select the drivers you want to install, then click Next.

    Figure 4-4 Selecting Drivers for the Metadirectory Engine

    The Select Drivers for Engine Install page shows you which drivers can be installed on a corresponding platform. For example, on a NetWare server, you cannot install the Windows Active Directory driver.

    By default, all available drivers for the option are selected. We recommend installing all of the selected driver files so you won't need to run the installation program later if you want another driver. The driver files are not used until a driver is configured through iManager or through Designer and then deployed.

    NOTE:If you do not install all of the drivers at this time, you’ll need to rerun this installation program to install the drivers. Or you can use Designer to create, modify, and deploy driver files.

  11. When you see the informational message reminding you about product activation, click OK.

    You need to activate the drivers within 90 days of installation; otherwise, they will shut down.

  12. On the Schema Extension page, specify the following:

    Figure 4-5 The Schema Extension Page

    • User Name: Specify the username (in LDAP format, such as CN=admin,O=novell) of a user who has rights to extend the schema. In this screen, select a user (such as Admin) who has enough rights to extend the eDirectory schema.

    • User Password: Specify the user's password.

  13. Click Next. When the user information is validated, you see the first (of three) Components pages:

  14. On the first Components page, select the driver configurations and the iManager plug-ins, then click Next.

    Figure 4-6 First Components Page

  15. On the second Components page, click Next.

    The Novell Audit System Components for Identity Manager is highlighted if you have the Novell Audit System installed on the server. Otherwise, it is not selected. The Application Components selection installs components for such application systems as JDBC and PeopleSoft.

  16. The third Components page installs the utilities. Click Next.

    Platform-specific utilities are dimmed if they are available for platforms other than the one you are installing on. For NetWare, the only selection available is SQL Scripts for JDBC Driver.

  17. Read and verify your selections on the Summary page, then click Finish.

    Figure 4-7 Summary Page Shows Products and Components To Be Installed

    The Novell Identity Manager installation process shuts down eDirectory to extend the schema. The installation process commences installing the selected products and components.
