Installing Identity Manager 61
EDIR_USER_NAME=cn=admin,o=test
EDIR_USER_PASSWORD=test
METADIRECTORY_SERVER_SELECTED=true
CONNECTED_SYSTEM_SELECTED=false
X64_CONNECTED_SYSTEM_SELECTED=false
WEB_ADMIN_SELECTED=false
UTILITIES_SELECTED=false
For default installed locations, see /tmp/idmInstall.log .
If you have installed iManager, and you later want to install iManager plug-ins, you must set the
WEB_ADMIN_SELECTED value to true .
If you want to do a silent installation of Identity Manager on multiple instances, you must make sure
that the
<filename>.properties file has the following lines:
EDIR_NCP_PORT=524
EDIR_NDS_CONF=/etc/opt/novell/eDirectory/conf
EDIR_IP_ADDRESS=<xxx.xx.xx.xx>
The password is stored in a file for the silent installation of Metadirectory. You can also use the
EDIR_USER_PASSWORD environment variable to supply the password instead of writing it in a file.
If the EDIR_USER_PASSWORD variable is not set in the properties file, the installer reads the value
from the EDIR_USER_PASSWORD environment variable.
7.6 Installing the Remote Loader
The Remote Loader extends the functionality of Identity Manager by allowing the driver to access the
connected system without having the Identity Vault and Metadirectory server installed on the same
server as the connected system. As part of the planning process, you need to decide if you are going
to use the Remote Loader or not. For more information about the planning process, see Chapter 3,
“Technical Guidelines,” on page 23.

 Section 7.6.5, “Installing the Java Remote Loader on UNIX or Linux,” on page 65
 Section 7.6.6, “Coexistence of 32-Bit and 64-Bit Remote Loader,” on page 66
If you want to install the Remote Loader through a non-
root user, use the Java Remote Loader. The
Java Remote Loader can also be used when you customize your environment and install the Java
Remote Loader on a unsupported platform such as HP-UX. For more information, see Section 7.6.5,
“Installing the Java Remote Loader on UNIX or Linux,” on page 65.
7.6.1 Requirements
The Remote Loader requires that each driver’s connected system is available and the relevant APIs
are provided. Refer to the Identity Manager Driver documentation (http://www.novell.com/
documentation/idm401drivers/) for operating system and connected system requirements that are
specific to each driver.
