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.

Complete the following steps to set up a Liberty IDP site:
1 Launch iManager and log in to your server.
You launch iManager by opening a Web browser and going to https://<ipaddress>/eMFrame/
iManager.html (case-sensitive), where <ipaddress> is the address of your server. For detailed
instructions on how to launch iManager, see the "Novell Web Applications," html document
that was placed on your desktop as part of the iManager installation.
For iManager documentation, see the iManager 1.5.1 Administration Guide (http://
www.novell.com/documentation/lg/imanager151/index.html).
2 Under Roles and Tasks, expand the Liberty Management menu, then click the Manage Sites
task.
This takes you to the Manage Liberty Identity Sites page.
