NetIQ Identity Manager Policies in Identity Console Guide

Identity Manager provides the foundation for account provisioning, security, single sign-on, user self-service, authentication, authorization, automated workflows, and Web services. It allows you to integrate, manage, and control your distributed identity information so you can securely deliver the right resources to the right people.

Identity Console does not support packages, which deliver Identity Manager content. If you change policies or package content in Identity Console, it breaks the package management capabilities in Designer. You can use Identity Console to start and stop drivers, check the driver health, or activate drivers. For more information, see NetIQ Identity Manager Driver Administration Guide.

NetIQ Identity Manager is a data sharing and synchronization service that enables applications, directories, and databases to share information. It links scattered information and enables you to establish policies that govern automatic updates to designated systems when identity changes occur.
