3.0 Deciding Whether to Use the Remote Loader

The Remote Loader allows you to run Identity Manager drivers on connected systems that do not host the Identity Vault and Identity Manager engine. The .NET Remote Loader works on Windows-based systems only.

The Remote Loader is capable of hosting Identity Manager application shims contained in platform-specific files through JNI, as well as the more-common Identity Manager application shims contained in platform-agnostic JAR files. The Remote Loader can run on any platform. However, platform-specific shims must be run on their native platform (for example, .so files on Linux/Unix).
