Identify or Create Containers for New Objects

You will need to specify some containers when importing the driver configuration:

• Container for holding the DirXML-pbxSite objects
• Container for holding the DirXML-nwoWorkOrder objects
• Container for holding the DirXML-pbxExtension objects, if you are using them

  The sample base configuration uses these objects, but usually in a production environment you would transform events for DirXML-pbxExtension objects into events for User objects.

You should restrict rights to these containers so that only authorized administrators can change these containers or the objects they hold.

These containers and objects are also described in Planning Issues for All Configurations and Schema for PBX Management.

Create PBX Site Objects

• Install Identity Manager and the driver for Avaya PBX, as explained in Installation
• Create PBX Site objects, one for each PBX
• Create an instance of the driver using one of the sample configurations

Use Emulation

This driver is different from other Identity Manager drivers because it provides Emulation capabilities. Creating a robust test environment can be a challenge, because often the only PBX available in an environment is the production PBX. To solve this problem, we recommend using the driver's emulation mode. See What is Emulation Mode and Why Should I Use it? for more information before installing the driver.
