6.3 Remote Loader

The Remote Loader gives you flexibility in your Identity Manager solution configuration. It provides both 32-bit and 64-bit support. By default, the installation program detects the version of the operating system and then installs the corresponding version of the Remote Loader.

If you have installed the Metadirectory server as a 32-bit application on a 64-bit operating system, you can install both a 32-bit and a 64-bit Remote Loader on the same machine.
