Identity Management Example

In this example, identity management is implemented by installing Access Manager and Directory Server, with Directory Server on a remote host.

To Install Host A: Example Sequence

Before You Begin

• Access Manager requires Directory Server, but not necessarily a local copy.

• Access Manager requires a web container, which in this example is Web Server.

• Remote Directory Server must be running before installing any other Java ES components.
