4.2 Using the Configuration Wizard

The Configuration wizard walks you through the configuration of all of the Identity Manager components you selected when you performed the installation.

To configure the Identity Manager components:

  1. (Conditional) To add a secondary server to an existing tree, complete the following steps:

    1. Navigate to the ndscheck utility, located by default in the following directories:

      • Linux: /opt/novell/eDirectory/bin/ndscheck

      • Windows: install_location\NDS

    2. Specify the mandatory parameters and run the following command:

      ndscheck [-h hostname port] [-a admin_FDN] [-w password]

  2. (Conditional) If you are continuing from Step 12 in the installation procedure, skip to Step 6.

  3. (Optional) Instruct the configuration process to apply the same password for all integrated installation configuration parameters. For more information, see Section 3.2, Using the Same Password for all Integrated Installation Configuration Parameters.

  4. (Conditional) To start the configuration manually, perform one of the following actions:

    • Linux (GUI): Enter ./configure.bin

    • Windows: Run configure.exe

  5. On the title page, select the appropriate language for the drop-down list, then click OK.

  6. Review the components that are installed on your system, then click Next.

  7. Select the components that you want to configure on the local server, and then click Next.

  8. Use the following information to configure the different components:

    • Identity Vault: Specify whether you want to create a new tree in the Identity Vault or are modifying an existing one, then configure the tree for your environment. For more information, see Section 5.1, Identity Vault.

    • Event Auditing Service: Specify the configuration information for your Event Auditing Service. For more information, see Section 5.3, Event Auditing Service.

      IMPORTANT:The Event Auditing Service can be installed only on Linux computers. However, a functioning Event Auditing Service is required to configure the Identity Reporting Module.

    • Identity Applications: Specify the configuration information for your identity applications. You must include an IP address or DNS name of an audit server, otherwise the configuration fails. For more information, see Section 5.4, Identity Applications.

      IMPORTANT:You must select Advanced Settings and change any field that contains localhost to be a valid IP address or DNS name. If you do not change the default parameter from localhost, the configuration fails.

    • (Conditional) Identity Manager Server: Specify the existing Identity Manager server information if you are installing into an existing eDirectory tree. For more information, see Section 5.2, Identity Manager Server.

    • Identity Reporting Module: You must have the Event Auditing Service installed and configured to use the Identity Reporting Module. You can only install the Event Auditing Service on a Linux computer. If you are using a Windows computer, you must install the Event Auditing Service on a Linux computer before you can configure the Identity Reporting Module on a Windows computer.

      Specify the configuration information for your Identity Reporting Module. For more information, see Section 5.5, Identity Reporting Module.

    • Tools: Linux only. Select Advanced Settings to change the default HTTP ports. For more information, see Section 5.6, Tools.

  9. Click Next to perform the configuration of the different components.

  10. Review the summary of the configuration information, then click Configure.

  11. Review the configuration summary, then click Done.

    NOTE:If there were any errors during the configuration, the integrated installer displays the location of the installation logs. Review the installation logs to find out why the configuration failed.
