Installing Identity Manager 63
7.6.3 Installation Procedure
The Remote Loader has different programs for the different platforms, so it can communicate with
the Metadirectory server.
 Linux/UNIX:
rdxml is an executable that enables the Metadirectory server to communicate with
the Identity Manager drivers running in Solaris or Linux environments.
 Windows: The Remote Loader Console uses
rlconsole.exe to interface with
dirxml_remote.exe , which is an executable that enables the Metadirectory server to
communicate with the Identity Manager drivers running on Windows.
