Using Driver Object Passwords

In addition to the mandatory certificates needed to use SSL, for additional security you can configure the driver so that the Subscriber channel on one tree will authenticate to the Publisher channel on the remote tree. You should set matching passwords in both trees.

To set the DirXML driver object password in a tree:

  1. In iManager, click DirXML Management > Overview.

  2. Locate the driver set containing the eDirectory driver, then click the driver's icon.

  3. From the DirXML Driver Overview, click the eDirectory driver object, which will display the driver configurations.

  4. Locate the Driver Object Password section.
