1.2 About the Installer Program

The User Application installation program does the following:

  • Determines whether your licensing is for Identity Manager 4.0.2 Advanced Edition or Standard Edition. It then displays appropriate screens for the licensed edition.

  • Designates an existing version of an application server to use.

  • Designates an existing version of a database to use, for example PostgreSQL, Oracle, DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, or MySQL. The database stores User Application data and User Application configuration information.

  • Configures the JDK’s certificates file so that the User Application (running on the application server) can communicate with the Identity Vault and the User Application driver securely.

  • Configures and deploys the Java Web Application Archive (WAR) file for the Novell Identity Manager User Application to the Application Server. On WebSphere and WebLogic, you must manually deploy the WAR.

  • Enables logging through Novell or OpenXDAS auditing clients if you select to do so.

  • Enables you to import an existing master key to restore a specific Roles Based Provisioning Module installation and to support clusters.
