XI Installing the Identity Reporting Components

This section guides you through the process of installing the required components for running reports. The installation process includes all components required for the application:

  • NetIQ Identity Reporting

  • NetIQ Event Auditing System (EAS)

  • Identity Manager Managed System Gateway Driver (MSGW driver)

  • Identity Manager Driver for Data Collection Service (DCS driver)

NOTE:This section provides instructions for installing EAS, which sends audit information to the Warehouse. As an alternative for the EAS component, you can use a product such as NetIQ Sentinel.

The installation files are located in the products/EAS and products/Reporting directories within the .iso image file for the Identity Manager installation package. By default, the installation program installs the components in the following locations:

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

  • Windows: C:\NetIQ\IdentityManager\apps\IDMReporting

NetIQ recommends that you review the installation process before beginning. For more information, see Section 36.0, Planning to Install Identity Reporting.
