4.2 Changing the Identity Manager Version

You can import and deploy to all versions of Identity Manager from version 4.0.2 or later.

When you convert an earlier project, Designer defaults the Identity Manager version numbers to the latest version. During conversion, Designer informs you that this default is being applied.

You can change this version number by doing either of the following:

  • In the Outline view, right-click the Server object, select Properties, then select from the Identity Manager Version drop-down list.

  • In the Modeler, select an Identity Vault, click Window > Preferences, expand NetIQ and select Identity Manager, then select a version from the drop-down list.

You can also find information on upgrades, information on downgrades, and a link to a help topic. This information explains the key differences between versions of Identity Manager.

When you import into a new server (or create a server based on a server that you have browsed to in the directory), the new server inherits the imported version of Identity Manager.

If you do a live update in the server properties page, Designer updates the server to the current version of Identity Manager that is in the target environment.
