History

Overview

[edit]

The latest version was 5.2. With the release of Novell Identity Manager 3, the components of the portal services in exteNd were rebranded into the IDM User Application, a component of NetIQ Identity Manager.[citation needed]

The ExteNd platform provides a visual environment that simplifies the development and deployment of business solutions that exploit existing systems.[citation needed] Based on Java technology, it contains tools for integration of legacy systems to Web Services with XML and Java EE. Web Portal contains standard-based portlets.[citation needed]

  • The exteNd Composer, a run-time engine and development suite[1]
  • The exteNd Director, which constructs and executes portals and web applications[1]
