Importing the Sample Driver Configuration

  1. Create a new driver or import the configuration onto an existing driver.

    In Novell iManager, select DirXML Utilities, then use one of the tasks as described in "Managing DirXML Drivers" in the Novell Nsure Identity Manager 2 Administration Guide.

  2. Configure the driver by following the instructions in Configuring Secure Identity Manager Data Transfers.

The wizard prompts you to provide the following information:

Item Description

Remote Tree Address and Port

Enter the DNS host name or IP address and port of the NsureTM Identity Manager server in the remote tree. For example:

151.155.144.23:8196

hostname:8196

Configure Data Flow

Bidirectional: Both eDirectory trees are authoritative sources of the data synchronized between them.

Authoritative: The local tree is the authoritative source.

Subordinate: The local tree is not an authoritative source.

Configuration Option

Mirrored: Synchronizes objects hierarchically between the local and remote trees.

If you choose this option, use the same option for configuring both eDirectory trees you are synchronizing.

This option in the driver configuration synchronizes User, Group, Organization, Country, and Organizational Unit objects. It also mirrors the structure of a subtree in the other tree.

Flat: Synchronizes all Users and Groups into specific containers.

This option synchronizes User and Group objects and places all users in one container and all groups in another container.

This option is typically used in conjunction with the Department option (or a similar configuration) in the other tree.

This option doesn't create the containers that hold the users and groups. You must create those manually.

Department: Synchronize Users and Groups by department (OU).

This option synchronizes User and Group objects and places all users and groups in a container based on the Department field in your management console.

This configuration is typically used in conjunction with the Flat option (or a similar configuration) in the other tree.

This option doesn't create the containers for each department. You must create those manually. They must be the same as the container specified during import.

Remote Base Container

Used for Mirrored option only.

Enter the base container for synchronization in the remote tree, for example Users.MyOrganization.

Base Container

Used for Mirrored, Flat, and Department options.

Enter the base container for synchronization in the local tree, for example Users.MyOrganization.

If using with Mirrored: The local base container to mirror with the Remote Base Container above.

If using with Flat: The container to place Users into.

If using with Department: The parent of the departmental containers.

Group Container

Used for Flat only.

Enter the base container for synchronization in the local tree to place Groups into, for example Groups.MyOrganization.
