About ProCurve Identity Driven Manager
IDM Specifications
■ ProCurve Manager Plus software must be installed for IDM to operate.
The IDM software cannot be installed as a separate component.
Additional processing power and additional disk space may be required for
larger networks.
Additional Requirements
■ Implementation of an access control method, using either MAC-auth,
Web-auth, or an 802.1x supplicant application.
For assistance with implementation of RADIUS and access control meth-
ods for use with ProCurve switches, refer to the Access Security Guide
that came with your switch. All ProCurve Switch manuals can also be
downloaded from the ProCurve web site.
For assistance with using RADIUS and 802.1x access control methods,
contact the ProCurve Elite Partner nearest you that can provide ProCurve
Access Control Security solutions. You can find ProCurve Direct Elite
partners on the web at:

■ If you plan to restrict user access to specific network segments, you
will need to configure VLANs within your network. For information
on using VLANs, refer to the ProCurve Manager Network Adminis-
trator’s Guide,
or the configuration guides that came with your
switch.
Upgrading from Previous Versions of PCM and IDM
The installation CD for PCM 2.1 contains the IDM 2.0 installation files. If you
are running IDM 1.0 or 1.0.x, you must select the IDM option during the PCM
2.1 install process. This is required to support changes made in the underlying
PCM and IDM databases.
If you have not purchased the IDM 2.0 license, your installation will include
the IDM interface changes made for IDM 2.0, but all new functionality (FUNK
SBR support, User Import/Export, Access Control, and Endpoint integrity
support) will be disabled until you purchase and register an IDM 2.0 license.
If you want to test the IDM 2.0 functionality using the 30-day trial provided
on the PCM 2.1 CD, you need to install the software on a separate system that
has no previous IDM version installed or in use.
