The installation utility can guide you through the configuration settings for the Identity Vault. Your choice of performing the installation as a root or a non-root user should match the method that you plan to use for installing the Identity Manager engine.
This section assumes that you want to use eDirectory as the base structure for the Identity Vault. For more information about the additional packages that you can use to support eDirectory on a Linux server, see “Linux Packages for NetIQ eDirectory” in the NetIQ eDirectory 8.8 SP8 Administration Guide.
WARNING:The install_location/etc/opt/novell/eDirectory/conf directory contains critical configuration information used for tracking and managing the eDirectory instances running on your server. Do not remove any contents from this directory.
