Use the following information to determine whether you should use the integrated installation program or one of the standalone installation programs.
NetIQ recommends using this program when you want to evaluate Identity Manager or create a test environment. The program bundles all necessary components into one installation process. The integrated installation program has the following capabilities:
Applies the default values for most settings
Installs all components on one computer or in a small, distributed environment
Uses PostgreSQL for all databases
Uses Apache Tomcat for all application servers
Should not be used in a clustered environment
Should not be used in a production environment
NetIQ recommends using this option for the staging and production environments of your identity management solution. The standalone installation programs give you more flexibility in setting up your environment. This process provides the following capabilities:
Allows you to customize component settings
Allows you to install in distributed environments
Supports multiple database platforms
Supports multiple application servers
Creates a supported production environment
For more information about using the standalone installation process, see the NetIQ Identity Manager Setup Guide.
