4.4 Driver Configuration with the Remote Loader
The Remote Loader allows you to synchronize information to a connected system without having
eDirectory installed on the connected system. The Remote Loader synchronizes the information to
the Metadirectory server, which stores the data in the Identity Vault. Identity Manager uses
eDirectory as the Identity Vault.
‰ Install the Remote Loader on a machine that communicates with the connected system. The
Remote Loader communicates between the connected system and the Metadirectory engine,
and makes it possible for Identity Manager to communicate with a machine that does not have
eDirectory installed. For more information, see“
Installing the Remote Loader ” in the Identity
Manager 3.6.1 Remote Loader Guide .
‰
Configure the Remote Loader for a driver. You define a specific instance of the Remote Loader
to communicate with a specific driver. For more information, see “
Configuring the Remote
Loader ” in the Identity Manager 3.6.1 Remote Loader Guide .
‰
Configure the driver to communicate with the Remote Loader. There is a driver guide for each
driver. For specific information about your driver, see the
Identity Manager 3.6.1 Drivers
Documentation Web site (http://www.novell.com/documentation/idm36drivers/) .
‰
(Optional) Enable entitlements on the driver. Verify that you have the correct policies in place
to execute the entitlement. For more information, see
Identity Manager 3.6.1 Entitlements
Guide .
‰
Repeat these steps for each driver you have in your environment.
4.5 Driver Configuration without the Remote
Loader
‰
Create and configure your driver. There is a driver guide for each driver. For specific
information about your driver, see the
Identity Manager 3.6.1 Drivers Documentation Web site
(http://www.novell.com/documentation/idm36drivers/) .
‰
(Optional) Enable entitlements on the driver. Verify that you have the correct policies in place
to execute the entitlement. For more information, see
Identity Manager 3.6.1 Entitlements
Guide .
‰
