In this example, identity management is implemented by installing Access Manager and Directory Server, with Directory Server on a remote host.
Access Manager requires Directory Server, but not necessarily a local copy. Access Manager requires a web container, which in this example is Web Server. The remote Directory Server must be running before installing any other product components.

Running the installer
At component selection, choosing Access Manager and Web Server
Directory Server and the Directory Preparation Tool are automatically selected.
Deselect Directory Server and specify a remote copy when prompted.
Resolving incompatibilities
The installer verifies software on your host and provides guidance if incompatibilities are identified.
Selecting the Configure Now or Configure Later type
For the Configure Now type, configuration pages are displayed for those product components that allow installation-time configuration. Do not accept defaults for product components that are remote; use the remote information.
You will need to gather your configuration information from the tables in Chapter 3, Configuration Information, in Sun Java Enterprise System 5 Installation Reference for UNIX.
For the Configure Later type, configuration pages are not displayed.
