Procedure
1
At the
Novell download site (http://download.novell.com)
, search for iManager products,
select iManager 2.7, then download
iMan_27_workstation_linux.tar.bz2
to a directory
on your server.
2
Extract the file using the following command:
tar -xjvf iMan_27_workstation_linux.tar.bz2
The extraction creates an
imanager
folder in the same folder where iManager Workstation’s
tar.bz2
file is located.
3
Log in as
root
, or a
root
-equivalent, and install the Novell International Cryptography
Infrastructure (NICI) software.
To do this, execute the following command from the
imanager/NICI/linux
directory:
rpm -Uvh nici.i386.rpm
On desktops where NICI is not installed, this command installs NICI. On desktops where NICI
is already installed, this command upgrades NICI.
4
If you plan to run iManager Workstation as a non-root user in the future, do not run iManager
as root the first time. Navigate to the
imanager/bin
directory and execute the iManager
Workstation startup script.
./iManager.sh
5
When the iManager login screen appears, specify a username, password, and eDirectory tree.
To access iManager, see “
Accessing iManager
” in the
iManager 2.7.3 Administration Guide
.
If you upgraded from a previous version of iManager, see
Chapter 2, “Upgrading iManager,” on
page 25
.
1.5.5 iManager Workstation on Windows Clients
Because iManager Workstation is a self-contained environment, you can install multiple versions on
the same workstation (including older versions of Mobile iManager.) However, you should not
attempt to run them simultaneously. If you need to use different versions, run one version, close it,
and then run the other version.
To prepare for the installation, review the following checklist of prerequisites.
Prerequisites
Additional Configuration:
If you configure Internet Explorer to use a proxy server for your
LAN, then you must also select the
Tools
>
Internet Options
>
Connections
>
LAN Settings
>
Bypass Proxy Server for Local Addresses
option.
Processor:
Pentium III 600 MHz or higher processor
Disk Space:
200 MB minimum
Memory:
256 MB of RAM (512 MB recommended)
Do not run iManager Workstation from a path with spaces in it.
If you are running a Novell Client
TM
earlier than version 4.91, make sure that the NMAS client
is already installed on the workstation before launching iManager Workstation.
