The NetIQ iManager product is discontinued and reached end-of-life. Therefore, SecureLogin has stopped the iManager support. If eDirectory is deployed as part of OES deployment, refer to the OES support cycle of iManager.

It is recommended to use SLManager in place of iManager for administering SecureLogin.

Secret Store

In the subsequent release of SecureLogin, support for Secret Store will be discontinued. It is recommended to migrate from the LDAP + Secret Store mode to the LDAP mode.
