This section lists general prerequisites for the computers that you want to host your Identity Manager components. In general, you should install all of the components so you can provide full identity management in your environment. However, you do not need all of the components, such as Analyzer or iManager.
An Identity Manager implementation can vary based on the needs of your IT environment, so you should contact NetIQ Consulting Services or any of the NetIQ Identity Manager partners prior to finalizing the Identity Manager architecture for your environment.
For information about the recommended hardware, supported operating systems, and browsers, see the NetIQ Identity Manager Technical Information website.
