Operation

Description

Undo Change Location

Returns an item to its previous status.

New > Credential Application

Creates a new Application object, which stores static single sign-on parameters for a specific application. For more information, see Novell Credential Provisioning for Identity Manager 3.6.

New > Credential Repository

Creates a new Repository Object, which stores static configuration information for an authentication credential repository such as either Novell SecretStore or Novell SecureLogin. For more information, see the overview section in the Novell Credential Provisioning for Identity Manager 3.6.

New > DirXMLScript

Launches the Policy Builder, creates a policy, and creates a new DirXML® Script. DirXML Script is the primary method of implementing policies in the Novell Identity Manager Metadirectory engine.

New > ECMAScript

Creates an ECMAScript object and opens the ECMAScript editor.

New > Entitlement

Launches the Entitlement Wizard and adds an entitlement to the selected driver. For more information, see Section 13.0, Using Entitlements.

New > Job

Launches the Job Scheduler Wizard to create a job.

New > Mapping Table

Creates a Mapping Table object. A policy uses a Mapping Table object to map one set of values to another set of corresponding values.

New > Resource

Creates a Resource object. Resource objects (for example, generic, ECMAScript, mapping table, application, or repository resources) store information that drivers use. The information can be arbitrary data in any format (for example, XML or text).

New > Schema Map

Creates a schema map policy and launches the Schema Map editor. A schema map policy maps class names and attribute names between the Identity Vault namespace and the application namespace. The schema map policy is applied in both directions.

New > XSLT

Creates an XSLT policy. XSLT is a standard language for transforming XML documents. You can use the XSLT option to implement policies as XSLT style sheets.

New > From Copy

Creates a policy by copying from an existing object.

Copy > Settings

Copies data from the selected driver to a target driver. A pasted copy overwrites data in the target driver.

Copy > Server-Specific Settings

Copies data from the selected server to a target server. A pasted copy overwrites data in the target server.

Mark/Unmark as Firewall

Enables you to mark where a driver is communicating through a firewall. Used in Developer mode. If driver icons are turned off, the firewall icon doesn't appear.

Straighten Connection

Straightens a driver connection line. If a line is not within a few degrees of being horizontal or vertical, this option is dimmed.

Show Dataflow View

Displays the flow of information between the application and the driver in the Developer view. Launches the Dataflow view. For more information, see Section 7.0, Managing the Flow of Data.

Dataflow

Displays the dataflow between the application and driver set. Appears only when dataflow view is activated.

Simulate

Runs the Simulate Policy Transformation program against the selected driver.

Show Policy Sets

Launches the Policy Set and Policy Flow views. For more information, see Policy Set View in the Understanding Designer for Identity Manager.

Run Configuration Wizard

Guides you through creating a driver. After you fill out the wizard’s forms, Designer automatically generates policies that configure the driver to function as described in the forms.

Edit Entitlements

Enables you to select an entitlement that is associated with the driver and edit the entitlement’s settings. For more information, see Section 13.0, Using Entitlements.

Password Synchronization

Configures and displays the flow of password synchronization. For more information, see Section 7.6, Integrating Passwords.

Manage Application Schema

Enables you to manage a copy of the connected system’s schema. You can make changes to a copy of the application schema so that you can test the Identity Manager drivers in Designer. See Section 6.7, Managing a Copy of an Application Schema.

Document Selection

Launches the Document Generation Wizard, which documents the selected driver.

Export to Configuration File

Exports the driver to a .xml file. iManager can consume this format, and Designer can re-import it. For more information, see Section 15.10, Exporting To a File.

Import From Configuration File

Imports an exported .xml driver file.

Live > Import

Enables you to connect to a server, browse to and select a driver, and import the objects into the driver.

Live > Deploy

Prepares a deployment summary and then deploys selected objects and attributes.

Live > Compare

Compares selected drivers. Enables you to reconcile or update drivers. See Section 15.7, Using the Compare Feature When Deploying.

Live > Driver Configuration > Import Attributes

Imports attributes from an existing driver.

Live > Driver Configuration > Deploy Attributes

Deploys the modified or imported attributes.

Live > Driver Configuration > Compare Attributes

Allows you to compare the attributes of a policy to the attributes that are already deployed.

Live > Refresh Application Schema

Specifies the server on an eDirectory tree where the schema is refreshed after an application’s schema changes. See Section 6.7.2, Refreshing the Application Schema.

Live > Status for All Drivers

Reports whether the driver is stopped or running.

Live > Start Driver

Starts the driver.

Live > Stop Driver

Stops the driver.

Live > Set Driver Trace Level

Specifies how much information to display in a trace level log from the driver. Settings go from 0-5.

Live > Restart Driver

Restarts the drivers.

Live > Set Up Driver Security

Launches the Driver Security Equals/Exclusions dialog box. Enables you to configure the selected driver’s security equivalences and to exclude selected users from administrative roles.

If you select multiple drivers, this dialog box lets you add, modify, and remove common security equivalences and exclusions of the selected drivers.

Delete

Deletes the selected driver and its policies.

Properties

Launches the driver’s property pages. Enables you to configure the driver.
