Overview
The following overview assumes that you understand entitlements (as explained in the
Entitlement
Overview (http://www.novell.com/documentation/idm36/idm_entitlements/?page=/documentation/
idm36/idm_entitlements/data/be4rlrn.html#be4rlrn)
in the
Identity Manager 3.6.1 Entitlements
Guide
(http://www.novell.com/documentation/idm36/idm_entitlements/data/bookinfo.html)
) and
have created the entitlements you want managed by the Entitlements Service driver.
The Entitlements Service driver is one of three
entitlement agents
that you can use to grant
entitlements, or permission slips, to users. The other two entitlement agents are the role-based
provisioning component and workflow-based provisioning component in the User Application.
The following sections provide information to help you understand the Entitlements Service driver:
Section 1.1, “How the Entitlements Service Driver Works,” on page 9
Section 1.2, “Role-Based Entitlements Versus Other Entitlements,” on page 11
Section 1.3, “Multiple Entitlements Service Drivers,” on page 11
1.1 How the Entitlements Service Driver Works
