About This Guide

®
Novell Identity Manager 3.6.1 is a data sharing and synchronization service that enables
applications, directories, and databases to share information. It links scattered information and
enables you to establish policies that govern automatic updates to designated systems when identity
changes occur.
Identity Manager provides the foundation for account provisioning, security, single sign-on, user
self-service, authentication, authorization, automated workflows, and Web services. It allows you to
integrate, manage, and control your distributed identity information so you can securely deliver the
right resources to the right people.
This guide provides detailed information on using Designer 3.0 for Identity Manager 3.6.1.
