Installing required System i Navigator options

To enable a single sign-on environment with Enterprise Identity Mapping (EIM) and network authentication service, you must install both the Network option and the Security option of System i® Navigator.

EIM is located within the Network option and network authentication service is within the Security option. If you do not plan to use network authentication service in your network, you do not need to install the Security option of System i Navigator.

To install the Network option of System i Navigator or to verify that you have this option currently installed, ensure that IBM® i Access for Windows is installed on the PC that you are using to administer the System i model.

To install the Network option:

  1. Click Start > Programs > IBM i Access for Windows > Selective Setup.
  2. Follow the instructions on the dialog. On the Component Selection dialog, expand System i Navigator, and then select the Network option. If you plan to use network authentication service, you should also select the Security option.
  3. Continue through the rest of Selective Setup.
