Installing iManager
Novell iManager provides a global view of your network from one browser-based tool, allowing you
to proactively assess and respond to changing network demands.
Using iManager, you can administer Novell eDirectory and many Novell and third-party products,
including Novell Open Enterprise Server, Identity Manager, Novell Audit, and BorderManager. This
centralized management system eliminates administrative redundancy and unnecessary overhead,
saving your time and money.
This section includes the following information:
Section 1.1, “Server-Based and Client-Based Versions of iManager 2.7,” on page 9
Section 1.2, “Prerequisites,” on page 12
Section 1.3, “Self-Signed Certificates,” on page 12
Section 1.4, “Downloading and Installing Plug-Ins During Installation,” on page 15
Section 1.5, “Installing a New Version of iManager,” on page 15
Section 1.6, “Silent Installation of iManager Server,” on page 24
1.1 Server-Based and Client-Based Versions of
iManager 2.7
The traditional server-based version of iManager 2.7, 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.
1.1.1 Supported Platforms on iManager (server based)
iManager 2.7 supports the following server platforms:
