5.1 Basic Configuration

The most basic deployment configuration includes all Identity Manager components on one computer. You must ensure that the computer has the required memory, speed, and available disk space to meet the workload.

The all-in-one deployment is suitable only for installing Identity Management Proof-of-Concept (POC). Depending on the size and complexity of your environment, a single-server configuration might not be appropriate to implement a comprehensive identity management solution.

Optionally, you can install Identity Manager engine on one server and install all other required applications on one or more additional servers. The following figure illustrates this configuration:

In this configuration, components such as identity applications, iManager, OSP, and SSPR run on a separate server. You can include an additional server to host the components for reporting service to suffice the system requirements for running the Sentinel Log Management for IGA component. The server that has the Identity Applications requires Apache Tomcat Web application server, which includes the Tomcat embedded messaging server and client; and a JDBC driver. The JDBC driver enables Identity Applications to communicate with a database. Identity Manager supports JDBC driver types that connect to the supported databases.
