6.3 Remote Loader
The Remote Loader gives you flexibility in your Identity Manager solution configuration. It provides both 32-bit and 64-bit support. By default, the installation program detects the version of the operating system and then installs the corresponding version of the Remote Loader.
Figure 6-4 Supported Operating Systems for the Remote Loader
If you have installed the Metadirectory server as a 32-bit application on a 64-bit operating system, you can install both a 32-bit and a 64-bit Remote Loader on the same machine.
Table 6-2 lists the supported operating systems for the Remote Loader.
