Creating a New Loopback Service
Driver
The Loopback Service driver files are installed on the Metadirectory server at the same time as the
Metadirectory engine. No other installation configurations are supported; you cannot use the
Remote Loader to run the Loopback Service driver.
The installation program extends the Identity Vault’s schema and installs both the driver shim and
the driver configuration file. It does not create the driver in the Identity Vault. You create the driver
by importing the driver configuration file and then modifying the driver configuration to suit your
environment. The following sections provide instructions:
Section 3.1, “Creating the Driver in Designer,” on page 17
Section 3.2, “Creating the Driver in iManager,” on page 19
Section 3.3, “Activating the Driver,” on page 22
3.1 Creating the Driver in Designer
You create the Loopback Service driver by importing the driver’s basic configuration file and then
modifying the configuration to suit your environment. After you’ve created and configured the
driver, you need to deploy it to the Identity Vault and start it.
Section 3.1.1, “Importing the Driver Configuration File,” on page 17
Section 3.1.2, “Configuring the Driver Settings,” on page 18
Section 3.1.3, “Configuring the Driver Policies,” on page 18
Section 3.1.4, “Deploying the Driver,” on page 18
Section 3.1.5, “Starting the Driver,” on page 19
