Installation guide

60 Identity Manager 4.0.1 Framework Installation Guide
You should install Identity Manager as the same user you used to install the non- root version of
eDirectory. The user who installs Identity Manager must have write access to the directories and
files of the non-
root eDirectory installation.
4 Execute the installation program for your platform.
Linux:
IDM4.0.1_Lin/products/IDM/linux/setup/idm-nonroot-install
Solaris: IDM4.0.1_Solaris/products/IDM/solaris/setup/idm-nonroot-install
5 Use the following information to complete the installation:
Base Directory for the non-root eDirectory Installation: Specify the directory where the non-
root eDirectory installation is. For example, /home/user/install/eDirectory .
Extend eDirectory Schema: If this is the first Identity Manager server installed into this instance
of eDirectory, enter
Y to extend the schema. If the schema is not extended, Identity Manager
cannot function.
You are prompted to extend the schema for each instance of eDirectory owned by the non-
root
user that is hosted by the non-
root eDirectory installation.
If you do select to extend the schema, specify the full distinguished name (DN) of the eDirectory
user who has rights to extend the schema. The user must have the Supervisor right to the entire
tree to extend the schema. For more information about extending the schema as a non-
root user,
see the
schema.log file that is placed in the data directory for each instance of eDirectory.
Run the
/opt/novell/eDirectory/bin/idm-install-schema program to extend the schema
on additional eDirectory instances after the installation is complete.
Utilities: (Optional) If you need an Identity Manager driver utility, you must copy the utilities
from the Identity Manager installation media to the Identity Manager server. All utilities are
found in the
IDM4.0.1_platform/product/IDM/platform/setup/utilities directory.
6 Activate Identity Manager. For more information, see Chapter 8, “Activating Novell Identity
Manager Products,” on page 73.
7 Create and configure the driver objects. This information is contained in each driver guide. For
more information, see the Identity Manager Drivers documentation (http://www.novell.com/
documentation/idm401drivers/).
7.5.2 Silent Installation of the Metadirectory Server
In order to run a silent installation of Identity Manager you must create a properties files with the
parameters required to complete the installation. There is a sample file included on the Identity
Manager media:
 Linux:
IDM4.0.1_Lin/products/IDM/linux/setup/silent.properties
 Solaris: IDM4.0.1_Solaris/products/IDM/solaris/setup/silent.properties
 Windows: IDM4.0.1_Win:\products\IDM\windows\setup\silent.properties
Start the silent installation by using the correct program for your platform:
 Linux:
IDM4.0.1_Lin/products/IDM/install.bin -i silent -f <filename>.properties
 Solaris: IDM4.0.1_Solaris/products/IDM/install.bin -i silent -f
<filename>.properties
 Windows: IDM4.0.1_Win:\products\IDM\windows\setup\idm_install.exe -i silent -f
<filename>.properties
Create a property file <filename>.properties with the following attributes, in the location from
where you run the Identity Manger installer:
