Credential for Drivers
The Bundle Edition requires a credential that allows you to use drivers beyond an evaluation period.
The credential can be found in the BCC license. In the Identity Manager interface in iManager, enter
the credential for each driver that you create for BCC. You must also enter the credential for the
matching driver that is installed in a peer cluster. You can enter the credential, or put the credential in
a file that you point to.
Identity Manager Engine and eDirectory Driver
BCC requires Identity Manager 3.6 or later to run on one node in each of the clusters that belong to
®
the business continuity cluster. (Identity Manager was formerly called DirXML .) Identity Manager
should not be set up as clustered resource. Each Identity Manager node must be online in its peer
cluster and Identity Manager must be running properly whenever you attempt to modify the BCC
configuration or manage the BCC-enabled cluster resources.
IMPORTANT: Identity Manager 3.6 is 32-bit and is supported only on the 32-bit OES 2 SP1 Linux
operating system, even on 64-bit hardware. Identity Manager 3.6.1 additionally supports the 64-bit
OES 2 SP1 Linux operating system.
For installation instructions, see the Identity Manager 3.6.x Installation Guide (http://
www.novell.com/documentation/idm36/idm_install/data/front.html).
The node where the Identity Manager engine and the eDirectory driver are installed must have an
eDirectory full replica with at least read/write access to all eDirectory objects that will be
synchronized between clusters. This does not apply to all eDirectory objects in the tree. For
information about the eDirectory full replica requirements, see Section 4.1.5, "Novell eDirectory
8.8," on page 40.
Identity Manager Driver for eDirectory
On the same node where you install the Identity Manager engine, install one instance of the Identity
Manager driver for eDirectory.
For information about installing the Identity Manager driver for eDirectory, see Identity Manager
3.6.x Driver for eDirectory: Implementation Guide (http://www.novell.com/documentation/
idm36drivers/edirectory/data/bktitle.html).
Identity Manager Management Utilities
The Identity Manager management utilities must be installed on the same server as Novell
iManager. The Identity Manager utilities and iManager can be installed on a cluster node, but
installing them on a non-cluster node is the recommended configuration. For information about
iManager requirements for BCC, see Section 4.1.8, "Novell iManager 2.7.2," on page 44.
IMPORTANT: Identity Manager plug-ins for iManager require that eDirectory is running and
working properly in the tree. If the plug-in does not appear in iManager, make sure that the
eDirectory daemon ( ) is running on the server that contains the eDirectory master replica.
