Hello
I would be very glad if someone can clarify and make me understand all of the different IDM 4.0.1 Audit/Reporting products and these serveral options for me. As the previous version IDM 3.5.1, We had this Novell Audit 2.0.2 with Platform Agent setup running on the Identity Manager server configured by logevent.cfg file ,which had pointer to the Audit server on port 289.
Now we have this IDM 4.0.1 with Reporting Module(which includes EAS server). This reporting module has two drivers DCS and MSGW drivers which logs Identity related information to the EAS.
I have following questions regarding these.
1) Does Paltform Agent gets replaced by these two drivers DCS and MSGW Identity Manager drivers in IDM 4.0.1 and do we not need to configure and register Platform Agent on the Identity Manager servers anymore besides having these two drivers?
2) What is the purpose of Platform Agent in the Identity Manager 4.0.1? I can still see this option available in the installation screens of the Identity Manager 4.0.1 .
3) What is the purpose of product Novell Identity Audit 1.0 ? Is that another dinosaur within the Novell Identity Audit and Reporting products like Sentinel which lives its own product life cycle within IDM ?
4) What would be the right audit/reporting product for a customer, if the customer was running Audit 2.0.2 earlier and they are switching to IDM 4.0.1 AE, but still want to have Audit 2.0.2 types of reporting data available besides havings new Identity Manager 4.01 Reporting module?
