Use the following information to determine whether you should use the integrated installation program or one of the standalone installation programs.
NetIQ recommends using this program when you want to evaluate Identity Manager or create a test environment. The program bundles all necessary components into one installation process. The integrated installation program has the following capabilities:
Can be run on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.3 or later, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 12 SP1 or later, or Windows 2012 R2 platforms
Applies the default values for most settings
Installs all components in a single server environment
Uses PostgreSQL 9.6.x for all supported operating systems
Uses Apache Tomcat for all supported operating systems
IMPORTANT:The following restrictions apply to using the integrated installation program:
Should not be used to install Identity Manager on RHEL 6.x and SLES 11 or later platforms
Instead, use the individual component installers to install the supported Identity Manager components on these platforms. For information about which components are supported on which platforms, see the NetIQ Identity Manager Setup Guide.
Should not be run in a console mode
Should not be used to install Identity Manager Standard Edition
Should not be used in a clustered environment
Should not be used in a production environment
NetIQ recommends using this option for the staging and production environments of your identity management solution. The standalone installation programs give you more flexibility in setting up your environment. This process provides the following capabilities:
Allows you to customize component settings
Allows you to install in distributed environments
Supports multiple database platforms
Supports multiple application servers
Creates a supported production environment
For more information about using the standalone installation process, see the NetIQ Identity Manager Setup Guide.
