1.5 Planning to Install the Driver

This section provides information for planning the installation and configuration process for the driver.

1.5.1 Installation Requirements

For information about installing the driver, see Installing the Driver Files.

1.5.2 Options for Installing the Driver Shim

You can install the driver shim on the Identity Manager server. Alternatively, you can use the Remote Loader service to run the driver on a server other than the Identity Manager server. In this case, the driver and the Remote Loader service run on the same server. The Remote Loader loads drivers and communicates with the Identity Manager engine on behalf of drivers installed on remote servers. For information about the operating systems supported for Identity Manager engine and Remote Loader, see the NetIQ Identity Manager Technical Information website.
