The DirXML® Driver for eDirectoryTM is designed to synchronize objects and attributes between different eDirectory trees (both internal or external trees).
This driver is unique among all other DirXML drivers. Because you are synchronizing data between eDirectory trees, you will always have two drivers installed, each in its own tree. The driver in one tree communicates with the driver in the other tree.
For example, the publisher channel in TreeA communicates with the subscriber in TreeB; and conversely, the publisher in TreeB communicates with the subscriber in TreeA. Therefore, the installation and configuration of the driver must be completed twice---once for the eDirectory driver in TreeA and once for the driver in TreeB.
To use the driver, you must have the Novell® Certificate ServerTM running on each server that will host the driver. You must also create a Certificate Authority (CA) for SSL encrypting to work. For instructions on creating CAs and configuring the Certificate Server, refer to Configuring Secure Identity Manager Data Transfers.
