The installation program (wizard) can guide you through the configuration settings for the Identity Vault. The installation program automatically defaults to wizard mode. However, you can also perform a silent installation.
This section assumes that you want to use eDirectory as the base structure for the Identity Vault.
When you start the installation program, it checks for Novell International Cryptographic Infrastructure (NICI) and Novell Client for Windows. The installation program will install or update these components as needed. If you install the Identity Vault on a computer already containing the Novell Client, eDirectory will use the existing Novell Client. You can install the Identity Vault for Windows without the Novell Client.
For more information about NICI, see the Novell International Cryptographic Infrastructure 2.7 Administration Guide. For more information on the Client, see the Novell Client for Windows documentation.
The installation program can install the server components for NetIQ Module Authentication Service (NMAS). During the installation, you must specify the login methods to use with NMAS. You must also install the NMAS client software on each client workstation where you want to use the NMAS login methods.
NOTE:
Starting with eDirectory 8.8, you can use case-sensitive passwords for all the utilities.
Your container names can include a period (dot). For information on using dots in container names, see Section 7.2.3, Prerequisites for Installing Identity Vault on a Windows Server.
