Identity Manager has an additional feature that extends Identity Manager functionality across applications. It is called the Remote Loader, and it allows the driver to access the application without having the Identity Vault and the Metadirectory engine installed on the same server as the application. As part of the planning process when installing Identity Manager, you need to decide if you are going to use the Remote Loader or not. This section defines what the Remote Loader is and contains instructions for installing and configuring the Remote Loader.
