You can install all of the components on one computer for evaluation purposes or you can use the integrated installer to install different components of Identity Manager on multiple systems and platforms. In order to do this, you must run through the integrated installation program multiple times and select the appropriate components.
Ensure that you have completed the following prerequisites before starting the integrated installation program.
IMPORTANT:The Event Auditing Service runs only in Linux environments. If you want to evaluate the identity applications and the Identity Reporting features in Identity Manager, you must install the Event Auditing Service on a Linux computer before using the integrated installer on a Windows computer.
Before installing eDirectory, you must have a method for resolving tree names to server referrals. NetIQ recommends using Service Location Protocol (SLP) services. Releases of NetIQ eDirectory before version 8.8 included SLP in the installation. However, after version 8.8, you must separately install SLP. For more information, see Using OpenSLP or hosts.nds for Resolving Tree Names
in the NetIQ Identity Manager Setup Guide.
You must configure a static IP address on the server for the eDirectory infrastructure to perform efficiently. If you use DHCP addresses on the server, eDirectory might have unpredictable results. Ensure that the DNS name of the computer can be resolved. If not, add an entry for this computer in the /etc/hosts file so that the DNS name is resolvable.
Synchronize time across all network servers. NetIQ recommends using the Network Time Protocol (NTP) option.
(Conditional) When installing components in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.x environment, ensure that the computer has the correct libraries. For more information, see Installing Identity Manager on an RHEL 6.x or 7.x Server
in the NetIQ Identity Manager Setup Guide.
(Conditional) To install on a SLES 11 (64-bit) platform, ensure that the following compatible library is installed:
libgthread-2_0-0-32bit-2.17.2+2.17.3+20080708+r7171-3.1.x86_64.rpm
Ensure that the unzip rpm is installed on any Linux platform you are using.
(Conditional) To install on a SLES 11 Service Pack 3 (64-bit) platform, ensure that the libstdc++33-32 bit library is installed. When this library is not present, the integrated installation succeeds with no errors, but you cannot log in to iManager. However, if you install iManager separately, the iManager installation program prompts you to install the library.
The /etc/hosts file can contain only one loopback address. If there is more than one loopback address, remove it by using an editor or system tools to correct the configuration. For example:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost #loopback #127.0.02 server1 123.45.678.9 server1
You must have administrative rights to the Windows computer in order to install Identity Manager with the integrated installer.
Your Windows operating system should be running the latest service packs before you begin the installation process.
The following requirements are applicable when you are installing all of the components, or most of the components, on the same computer. If you need to know requirements for a specific component, see Considerations and Prerequisites for Installation
in the NetIQ Identity Manager Setup Guide.
Use the following information to ensure that you can successfully install and configure your Identity Manager system.

One of the following:
IMPORTANT:NetIQ supports Identity Manager on enterprise-class virtual systems that provide official support for the operating systems where NetIQ products are running. As long as the vendors of the virtual systems officially support these operating systems, NetIQ supports the entire Identity Manager stack on them. |
|
Operating System Hotfixes |
Before installing Identity Manager, NetIQ recommends that you apply the latest operating system patches according to the manufacturer’s automated update facility. |
|
Web Browsers |
Desktop Computer: (at a minimum)
iPad: (at a minimum)
NOTE:To access the identity applications, the browser must have cookies enabled. If cookies are disabled, the product does not work. |
The integrated installation program installs the Identity Manager components in the locations specified in Table 2-1. On a Windows computer, you can specify the location of the installed components. On Linux computers, the installation process places the components in predefined locations.
