Installing Access Manager Core and Console

This section describes the services information that the installer needs when you are installing the Identity Management and Policy Services Core and the Access Manager Administration Console subcomponents.

In this scenario, you can deploy a new console or use a previously deployed console. If you deploy a new console, some information in Installing Access Manager Core and Console is not needed, as the Description column indicates.
