goal

fact

Novell iManager 1.5

Novell eDirectory 8.7 for All Platforms

Novell eDirectory 8.6 for All Platforms

symptom

iManager is ran from a box running eDirectory 8.6.x

fix

iManager is independant of eDirectory. This means that eDirectory does not have to be installed on the same box that is running iManager 1.5 . There are, however, shared dlls in Windows that eDirectory 8.5, eDirectory 8.6, eDirectory 8.7 and iManager uses. These must co-exist if the applications are ran on the same box. eDirectory 8.5 ships older DLLS than the other mentioned products. For this reason, eDirectory 8.5 is not officially supported running on the same box as iManager.

It is important to note, however, that there will be functionality lossed if the server that is running iManager is not eDirectory 8.7. The eDirectory Administration plugins for iManager require an embox utility to be installed. Embox only ships with eDirectory 8.7. For this reason, if iManager runs on a non-eDirectory 8.7 server, there will be some functionality loss in iManager.
