Installing the Identity Manager Engine


Identity Manager Starter Pack components are installed on those servers that will participate in the data synchronization process. iManager components must also be installed on your iManager server if it is different from the server running the Identity Manager engine. To install the Identity Manager engine on your OES Linux server, complete the following steps:

1.

At the OES Linux server where you want to install Identity Manager, insert the Identity Manager Bundle Edition CD-ROM.

2.

Mount the CD-ROM, and then locate and execute the installation program /linux/setup/dirxml_linux.bin. You must execute this command as the root user.

3.

Review the Welcome information and press Enter to continue.

4.

At the License Agreement screen, review the agreement and enter Y to accept the usage terms.

5.

Specify the appropriate number (14) for the components you want to install. The DirXML Server (option 1) must be installed on the local OES server. Remember that Identity Manager drivers and management components can be installed on separate servers from the Identity Manager engine, if you like. To install multiple components on the local server, either perform the installation multiple times, or select option 4 and customize the component installation list.

6.

(Optional) Depending on the options you entered, you may be prompted for LDAP credentials or the server's SSL port.

7.

Verify the summary information and press Enter to begin the package installation. If you have selected to install the DirXML server, your eDirectory server will be shut down during the installation.

8.

After the installation has completed, press Enter to close the installation program.

9.

(Optional) If you only installed the DirXML engine, repeat the installation and install the web-based Administrator Server components (option 3) on your iManager server. This is required to install the DirXML plug-ins for iManager. After installing the plug-ins, restart Apache using rcapache2 restart before the plug-ins will take effect.

After completing the installation, the eDirectory daemon should be automatically restarted. However, if you installed iManager plug-ins, you will be required to manually restart the Apache server, as documented in step 9. After everything has been restarted, iManager is the administrative tool used to configure Identity Manager. Accessing iManager should now show two new categories in iManager's Navigation frameDirXML and DirXML Utilities. The options available beneath these categories are used to configure the actual data synchronization process and are described later in this chapter.
