This section provides the prerequisites and system requirements for installing the Remote Loader.
Before installing the Remote Loader, NetIQ recommends that you review the following considerations:
You must install the Remote Loader on a server that can communicate with the managed systems. The driver for each managed system must be available with the relevant APIs.
You can install the Remote Loader on the same computer where you installed the Identity Manager engine. If you have installed the engine 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 server.
You can install Java Remote Loader on platforms that do not support the native Remote Loader.
You can install .NET Remote Loader on .NET platform version 2.
(Conditional) To connect Identity Manager to Active Directory, you must install Remote Loader and the driver for Active Directory on a server that is a member server or a domain controller. You do not need to install eDirectory and Identity Manager on the same server as the connected system. The Remote Loader sends all of the events from Active Directory to the Identity Manager server. The Remote Loader then receives any information from the Identity Manager server and passes that to the connected application.
NetIQ recommends that you use the Remote Loader configuration with your drivers where possible. Use the Remote Loader even in cases where the connected system is on the same server as the Identity Manager server engine.
When you run the driver with the Remote Loader configuration, the following solutions apply:
Protects eDirectoryfrom any exceptions encountered by the driver shim.
Offloads driver commands to the remote application or database, which improve performance of the server that hosts the Identity Manager engine.
Allows you to run additional drivers on servers that do not host the Identity Manager engine.
