Creating a Liberty IDP Site
After you have installed the Liberty identity provider for Novell ® eDirectory TM software, your next
step is to set up a Liberty identity provider (Liberty IDP) site. You cannot run Liberty unless you
set up an identity provider site.
IMPORTANT: As part of the Liberty IDP configuration, the IDP references information about the service
provider (SP). Therefore, you should install and configure an SP in your Liberty environment you complete
your Liberty IDP configuration. For information about SPs, see
Appendix A, “Installing and Configuring a
Sample Service Provider,” on page 33 .
This chapter explains the tasks you need to complete to set up a basic Liberty identity provider site.
