The Resource Kit comes with a VMware* image that contains a complete Identity Manager system with all of the products already installed and configured. This guide walks you through creating the same Identity Manager system that comes on the VM. You can follow these instructions to set up your own system to get a better understanding of all of the components that make up an Identity Manager system.
You can also follow these steps to create your own system on hardware instead of on a VM. You can use this system as a starting point for a customer, or use it as a proof of concept to show what Identity Manager can do.
It is important to make sure you install and configure the components in the order listed. If you do not, then the Identity Manager system does not work as designed. Use the following checklist to make sure you install and configure the components in the correct order.
Download the correct versions of the products used in the Resource Kit 1.2.
SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 10 SP2
eDirectory™ 8.8.3
iManager 2.7 SP1
Designer 3.0.1
Identity Manager 3.6
Novell® Audit 2.0.2 FP5
Sentinel™ 6.1
Section 2.1, Downloading Prerequisite Software tells you how to access the software.
Create an Identity Manager service account on the SLES server. For security purposes you should avoid logging in to the SLES server as root. Section 2.2, Creating an Identity Manager Service User and Group contains these instructions.
Enable the SLES server for multicast routing. This is an eDirectory requirement. For more information, see Section 3.1.1, Enabling the SLES Server for Multicast Routing.
Enable Network Time Protocol (NTP). eDirectory and Identity Manager are event-driven systems and rely heavily on time stamps. For more information, see Section 3.1.2, Network Time Protocol Configuration.
Install the Service Location Protocol (SLP). This is an eDirectory requirement. For more information, see Section 3.1.3, Installing the SLP User Agent and Server Agent.
Install eDirectory. For more information, see Section 3.2, Installing eDirectory 8.8.3.
Set the ndspath variable for each shell that is executed. This points the shell to the binary files that must be executed for eDirectory to work and it also enables the man pages for eDirectory. For more information, see Section 3.3, Configuring Your Environment.
Configure eDirectory. For more information, see Section 3.4, Configuring eDirectory.
Install iManager. For more information, see Section 4.0, Installing iManager.
Install Designer. For more information, see Section 5.0, Installing Designer 3.0.1 for Identity Manager.
Install the Metadirectory engine and the Identity Manager drivers. For more information, see Section 6.0, Installing the Identity Manager Metadirectory Engine and Drivers.
Configure your environment for the Resource Kit. This includes importing LDIF files into eDirectory to extend the schema and to create the eDirectory structure for the Resource Kit. For more information, see Section 7.0, Configuring the Environment for the Resource Kit.
Install the XPOZ test harness, which is used to test the solutions in the Resource Kit. For more information, see Section 8.0, Installing XPOZ and Executing XPOZ Scripts.
(Optional) Configure a secure mail relay for the Identity Manager system, so you can send e-mail without configuring an e-mail system. For more information, see Section 9.0, Configuring a Secure Mail Relay for Identity Manager.
Install and configure the User Application. For more information, see Section 11.0, Installing and Configuring the User Application.
Install and configure Novell Audit. This allows you to track events that occur in the Identity Manager system for compliance. For more information, see Section 12.0, Installing and Configuring Novell Audit.
Initialize the Resource Kit. This includes starting all of the drivers and then migrating the information that is in the Identity Vault into other systems. For more information, see Section 14.0, Initializing the Resource Kit.
Activate the Resource Kit. For more information, see Section 15.0, Activating the Resource Kit.
