The following prerequisites must be met before starting the tasks in Section 2.2, Synchronizing Passwords or Section 2.3, Password Self-Service.

  • Make sure you have a functioning Identity Manager system in place. To do so, complete the tasks in the NetIQ Identity Manager Setup Guide.

  • Make sure you have reviewed Section 1.0, Understanding Password Management and understand the concepts associated with password synchronization and password self-service.
