3.2.2 Configuring the Driver Settings
After you import the driver configuration file, the Entitlements Service driver will run. However,
there are many configuration settings that you can use to customize and optimize the driver. The
settings are divided into categories such as Driver Configuration, Engine Control Values, and
Global Configuration Values (GCVs).
To configure the settings:
1
Make sure the Modify Object page for the Entitlements Service driver is displayed in iManager.
If it is not:
1a
In iManager, click
to display the Identity Manager Administration page.
1b
Click
Identity Manager Overview
.
1c
Browse to and select the driver set object that contains the new driver.
1d
Click the driver set name to access the Driver Set Overview page.
1e
Click the upper right corner of the driver, then click
Edit properties
.
2
Review the settings on the various pages and modify them as needed for your environment.
The configuration settings are explained in
Appendix A, “Driver Properties,” on page 37
.
3
After modifying the settings, click
OK
to save the settings and close the Modify Object page.
4
(Conditional) If the Entitlement driver’s Summary page for the Import Configuration wizard is
still displayed, click
Finish
.
WARNING:
Do not click
Cancel
on the Summary page. This removes the driver from the
Identity Vault and results in the loss of your work.
3.2.3 Starting the Driver
When a driver is created, it is stopped by default. To make the driver work, you must start the driver
and cause events to occur. Identity Manager is an event-driven system, so after the driver is started,
it won’t do anything until an event occurs.
To start the driver:
1
In iManager, click
to display the Identity Manager Administration page.
2
Click
Identity Manager Overview
.
3
Browse to and select the driver set object that contains the driver you want to start.
4
Click the driver set name to access the Driver Set Overview page.
5
Click the upper right corner of the driver to display the
Actions
menu, then click
Start driver
.
For information about management tasks with the driver, see
Chapter 7, “Managing the Driver,” on
page 29
.
3.3 Activating the Driver
If you created the driver in a driver set where you’ve already activated the Metadirectory engine and
service drivers, the driver inherits the activation. If you created the driver in a driver set that has not
been activated, you must activate the driver within 90 days. Otherwise, the driver stops working.
