3.1.5 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 Designer, open your project.
2
In the Modeler, right-click the driver icon or the driver line, then select
Live > Start Driver
.
For information about management tasks for the driver, see
Chapter 5, “Managing the Driver,” on
page 25
.
3.2 Creating the Driver in iManager
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 start it.
