driver-config

Used to specify driver-specific configuration options. It is the top-level element in the XML stored in the DirXML-ShimConfigInfo attribute of the DirXML-Driver object in eDirectory.

Remarks

The enclosed <driver-options>, <subscriber-options>, and <publisher-options> can each contain any number of <config-object> and driver-defined elements. The driver-defined elements might each contain text data.

Each driver-defined element can have a type attribute. The type attribute can specify that the element refers to a named password by assigning the value password-ref to the attribute. A named password reference is replaced at runtime with the actual value of a named password set using the Identity Manager administration facilities.

In the Identity Manager administration interface, each driver defined element is displayed as an edit control that can edit the content of the element. Each <config-object> is displayed as a single valued dn control that allows the selection of a dn to fill in the dest-dn of enclosed <query>. Each control is labeled with the value of the display-name attribute if it exists or with the tag name if it does not exist.
