| Now that all the Identity Manager components are in place, you can do the actual Identity Manager driver configuration. This is done through the iManager plug-ins for Identity Manager that were installed previously. You can also use ConsoleOne to do the Identity Manager configuration if desired. To simplify the configuration process, you can import the preconfigured driver settings that you have copied to your systems as part of the Identity Manager installation process, described previously. To import a preconfigured Identity Manager driver, complete the following steps: 1. | Launch iManager from the server where the Identity Manager plug-ins have been installed.
| 2. | Open the DirXML Utilities link in the Navigation frame and click Import Drivers.
| 3. | Select the radio button next to In a New Driver Set, and click Next.
| 4. | Provide the required information and click Next.
- Name Provide a name for the driver set.
- Context Specify the context in which you want the driver set object to be created.
- Server Specify the server object on which Identity Manager is installed.
- Create a New Partition on This Driver Set Selecting this option will create a new directory partition in which Identity Manager data will be stored, where it can be isolated from the rest of the day-to-day eDirectory activity. Novell recommends that you configure Identity Manager in this way.
| 5. | Select the specific driver configuration file you want to import and click Next. You can select multiple drivers, if desired.
| 6. | Provide the required information to configure the driver and click Next. If you have selected multiple drivers, you will have to fill out the appropriate configuration information for each driver. For more information on the specific information requested by each driver type, see the OES online documentation.
| 7. | Provide the required information to configure administrative rights for the Identity Manager driver and click Next.
Click Define Security Equivalence, add Admin, and click OK. This grants the Identity Manager driver security equivalence to Admin in eDirectory so that sufficient rights are granted the driver to perform its synchronization operations. Click Exclude Administrative Roles, add Admin, and click Next. You should add any objects with administrative roles to this list in order to avoid problems with similar objects that may exist in other directories. Typically, administrative roles are specific to a given directory tree and don't need to be synchronized.
| 8. | At the Summary screen, click Finish. You can also click Finish with Overview if you want to view a synopsis of the driver's settings, as shown in Figure 10.4.
Figure 10.4. Identity Manager (DirXML) Overview screen. 
|
With the Identity Manager driver configured, you will see a new driver set in the Identity Manager (DirXML) Overview screen (Figure 10.4). This screen is accessible from the DirXML Overview link within the DirXML category of iManager. From this overview you can enable the driver and perform synchronization tests to make sure the driver is functioning properly. You can use the driver's trace screen to monitor activities as well as the Trace options in iMonitor. For advanced settings and detailed information on Identity Manager driver configuration, see the OES online documentation. |
