The traditional server-based version of iManager 2.7.7, called simply iManager, is installed on a server that can access an eDirectory tree. The client-based version of iManager, called iManager Workstation, is installed on a client workstation rather than a server. Use the following guidelines to decide which version fits best in your environment, or whether your eDirectory management policies would benefit from installing both versions:
If you have a single administrator who always manages eDirectory from the same client workstation, you can take advantage of iManager Workstation. iManager Workstation is fully self-contained and requires little setup. It automatically starts and stops the resources it needs when it loads or unloads. iManager Workstation installs and runs on various Linux or Windows client workstations, has no dependencies on server-based iManager, and it can coexist with any other versions of iManager installed on your network.
iManager plug-ins do not automatically synchronize between iManager instances. If you have multiple administrators and use customized plug-ins, iManager Workstation and these plug-ins must be installed on each administrator’s client workstation.
If you manage eDirectory from multiple client workstations, or have multiple administrators, install iManager Server so that it is available from any connected workstation. Additionally, customized plug-ins only need to be installed once per iManager Server.
NOTE:iManager 2.7.7 Patch 11 is a full build installer. You don’t need to install the iManager base and patch separately. The full installer will install the iManager 277 base with the patch.
iManager supports the following products:

iManager Workstation bundles the following versions of Tomcat and Java:
Tomcat 7.0.81
Java 1.8.0_144 (32-bit)
If the iManager server setup program detects a previously installed version of iManager, it gives you the option to stop the installation process or remove the existing iManager, JRE, and Tomcat installations.
Because iManager Workstation is a self-contained environment, you can install multiple versions on the same workstation, including older versions of Mobile iManager. However, you should not attempt to run them simultaneously. If you need to use different versions, run one version, close it, and then run the other version.
The same eDirectory tree can be managed with iManager 2.7, iManager 2.6, and iManager 2.5. Your RBS Collection(s) should be updated for iManager 2.7. The updated RBS Collection(s) maintains backward compatibility with iManager 2.6 and 2.5.
