4.1 Considerations for Configuring the Components

Before you use the integrated installation process to configure the installed components, review the following considerations:

  • You can configure only the components installed on the local computer.

  • Before installing or configuring, you can instruct the process to apply the same password to all integrated installation configuration parameters. For more information, see Section 3.2, Using the Same Password for all Integrated Installation Configuration Parameters.

  • Ensure that the /etc/hosts file includes entries for the 127.0.0.1 loopback address and the real IP address. For more information, see Section 2.3, Prerequisites and System Requirements.

  • If you are configuring the identity applications and the Identity Reporting components, you must select Advanced Settings and change any field that contains localhost to a valid IP address or DNS name. If you do not change the value from localhost, the configuration fails.

  • If you are configuring only the Identity Manager server, manually add the logging server details to the logevent.conf (Linux) and logevent.cfg (Windows) file. The integrated installation process updates the file with the logging server details only when you configure the identity applications or Identity Reporting.

  • Before adding a secondary server to an existing tree, you should perform a health check. The integrated installation process does not perform the health check for you.

  • When you add a secondary server to the tree, the server receives only a copy of the root and its own driver set partition.

    • If you also use the Data Collection Service driver as primary on this second server, the driver cannot see object changes that it needs to report. To configure the Data Collection Service driver on this server, see Configuring the Driver for Data Collection Service in the NetIQ Identity Manager Setup Guide.

    • If the Data Collect Service driver is on this section server, it must hold a copy of the tree partition to function.

For more information about the configuration values, see Section 5.0, Understanding the Configuration Parameters.
