6.7.3 Customizing the Plug-In Download Location

You can create a plug-in download repository if a proxy server or firewall prevents iManager 2.7
from contacting the Novell download Web site. This lets you host plug-in modules on a local Web
server or a common file system location.
The best way to do this is to use the XML descriptor file from the
www.novell.com/products/consoles/imanager/iman_mod_desc.xml)
information about the iManager descriptor file, see
Installation" in the iManager 2.7 Installation Guide.
To set up a local plug-in repository, save the descriptor file locally; then open the file and copy the
URL for each plug-in module you want to make available locally, and paste it in a Web browser
address bar to download the file. After downloading all desired plug-in modules, edit the local copy
of the descriptor file to reflect the new URL for each downloaded plug-in module.
A plug-in module URL can be an HTTP link or a file system location. For example:
Windows File System
<url><![CDATA[file:///c:\iManager_plugins\NMAS.npm]]></url>
Linux File System
<url><![CDATA[file:///home/admin/iManager_plugins/NMAS.npm]]></url>
HTTP Link
<url><![CDATA[http://192.168.0.136/iManager_plugins/NMAS.npm]]></url>
Specifying a Local Descriptor File
You can specify a custom descriptor file either during the iManager 2.7 installation, or after
iManager 2.7 has been installed.
During the installation process, the iManager 2.7 plug-in download URL can be redirected to a
custom descriptor file. To do this, simply change the URL on the Select Plug-ins to Download and
Install page to the location of the custom descriptor file and click Go.
