IX Installing the Single Sign-on and Password Management Components

In this section, you will install the components that help you configure Identity Manager for single sign-on access and for allowing users to reset their passwords:

  • One SSO Provider (OSP)

  • Self Service Password Reset (SSPR)

NOTE:You can use an alternative self-service program for password management. However, you might need to modify some configuration settings for Identity Manager. For more information, see Section 34.7, Configuring Forgotten Password Management.

NetIQ bundles OSP and SSPR in the same installation program for your convenience. You can choose to install both on the same server or install them individually. The installation files are located in the products/RBPM/osp_sspr_install directory in the Identity Manager installation package. By default, the installation program installs the components in the following locations:

  • Linux: /opt/netiq/idm/apps/osp_sspr

  • Windows: C:\netiq\idm\apps\osp_sspr

NetIQ recommends that you review the installation process before beginning.
