2.2  Authorized Users

When upgrading iManager you will not see the Authorized User screen during the install if an 
existing configiman.properties file is detected. The install will use the existing Authorized User 
settings from that file.

2.3  Updating Role Based Services

The first time you use iManager 2.7 to log in to an eDirectory tree that already contains an RBS 
collection, it is possible that not all of the roles and tasks are displayed. This is working as expected 
because some of the plug-ins require updates so that iManager 2.7 can fully utilize them. The RBS 
Configuration task lists which RBS modules are out-of-date. We recommend that you update your 
RBS modules to the latest version so that you can see and use all of the available functionality in 
iManager 2.7. 

Be aware that you might have multiple roles with the same name. When plug-ins were updated for 
iManager 2.5, some plug-in developers changed task IDs or module names but retained the same 
display names, thus causing the roles to appear to be duplicated when, in fact, one instance is from 
one version and the other is from a newer version.

NOTE: 

Because different installations of iManager might have a different number of plug-ins 

locally installed, you might see discrepancies in the module report for any given collection from the 

Role Based Services

 > 

RBS Configuration

 page. In order for the numbers to match between 

iManager installations, make sure that the same subset of plug-ins is installed on each iManager 
instance in the tree.

To check whether you have outdated RBS objects: 

1

From the Configure view, select 

Role Based Services

 > 

RBS Configuration

The table on the 2.

x

 Collections tabbed page displays any out-of-date modules.

2

To update them, select the number in the 

Out-Of-Date

 column for the Collection you want to 

update. 
The list of outdated modules is displayed. 

3

Select the module you want to update, then click 

Update

 at the top of the table. 

NOTE: 

When updating to iManager 2.7, or re-installing iManager 2.7, existing plug-ins are not 

updated automatically. To update plug-ins manually, launch iManager and browse to 

Configure

 > 

Plug-in Installation

 > 

Available Novell Plug-in Modules

. For more information, see “

Plug-In 

Module Installation

” in the 

iManager 2.7.4 Administration Guide

.

2.4  Re-Installing or Migrating Plug-in Studio 

Plug-ins

To migrate or replicate Plug-in Studio plug-ins to another iManager instance, or a new or updated 
version of iManager, do the following:

1. From the iManager Configure view, select 

Role Based Services > Plug-in Studio.

 The Content 

frame displays the Installed Custom Plug-ins list, including the location of the RBS collection 
to which the plug-ins belong.
