Driver shim. A dynamically linked library (Exchange55Shim.dll) loaded directly by DirXML® or by the remote loader. Collects the changes to be sent from the DirXML Driver for Exchange to eDirectory, communicates changes from eDirectory to the DirXML Driver for Exchange, and operates as the link that connects eDirectory and Exchange.
Driver. A set of policies, filters, and objects that act as the connector between eDirectory and the driver shim.
This software enables an application to publish events from an application to the directory, enables an application to subscribe to events from the directory, and synchronizes data between the directory and applications.
To establish a connection between the DirXML engine and Exchange, you specify the driver's configuration and connection parameters, policies, and filter values.
Driver object. An object in eDirectory.
The Driver object displays information about the driver's configuration, policies, and filters. This object enables you to manage the driver and provide eDirectory management of the driver shim parameters.
