This manual is for school administrators, Novell® eDirectoryTM administrators, and others who implement the Identity Manager Driver for Schools Interoperability Framework (SIF) in a K-12 school environment.
The driver for SIF lets you automatically provision users in eDirectory and synchronize user accounts in eDirectory with user data from a SIF-enabled student information system.
This configurable solution gives you the ability to increase productivity, streamline school processes, and reduce errors by automating the transfer of user data to eDirectory.
The guide contains the following sections:
SIF is an open standard created to allow K-12 education applications to exchange data effectively. The driver for SIF works as a SIF Agent.
The 1.1.1 release of the driver conforms to SIF Implementation Specifications 1.1 and 1.5. For information about the SIF specifications, see the Schools Interoperability Framework Web site.
This release supports only English versions of NetWare® and Windows*.
