New Features

This section provides information on new driver features. For information on new features in Nsure^TM Identity Manager, see "What's New in Identity Manager 2?" in the Novell Nsure Identity Manager 2 Administration Guide.

• Support for Identity Manager Password Synchronization has been added.

  The driver shim works the same way, but new policies have been added to the sample driver configuration to support Password Identity Manager Password Synchronization, including synchronizing Universal Password.

  If you are using the driver to connect to eDirectory 8.6.2, you can synchronize only the NDS^® Password, as in previous releases.

  If you are using the driver to connect to eDirectory 8.7.3, you have more options to choose from. See the description of the different scenarios in "Implementing Password Synchronization" in the Novell Nsure Identity Manager 2 Administration Guide.

  For more instructions specific to eDirectory, see Password Synchronization in this guide.

• The three options (Mirrored, Flat, and Department) for the structure to use when synchronizing users are now available in one sample configuration instead of a different sample configuration file for each. See Using the Sample Driver Configuration.
• You can customize the driver to support Role-Based Entitlements. Although the functionality isn't provided in the sample configuration, you can create it by following the example of other driver configurations that support Role-Based Entitlements. See "Using Role-Based Entitlements" in the Novell Nsure Identity Manager 2 Administration Guide.
• You can customize the driver to provide a driver heartbeat. See "Adding Driver Heartbeat" in the Novell Nsure Identity Manager 2 Administration Guide.
