To better represent the use of the driver, the name is changed in Identity Manager from Workflow Request Service Driver to Manual Task Service Driver.
The Manual Task Service Driver is designed to notify one or more users that a data event has occurred and whether any action is required on the users' part. In an employee provisioning scenario, the data event might be the creation of a new User object and the user action might include assigning an office number by entering data into Novell eDirectory or by entering data in an application. Other scenarios include notifying an administrator that a new user object has been created, notifying an administrator that a user has changed data on an object, etc.
Configuring the Manual Task Service Driver usually consists of configuring two separate but related subsystems: the Subscriber channel rules and e-mail templates, and the Publisher channel Web server templates and rules.
In addition, driver parameters such as SMTP server name, Web server port number, etc., must be configured.
