    Remote Loader Connection Parameters

    or

    Host name

    Port

    KMO

    Other parameters

    Used only if the driver is connecting to the application through the remote loader. The parameter to enter is hostname=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port=xxxx kmo=certificatename, when the host name is the IP address of the application server running the Remote Loader server and the port is the port the remote loader is listening on. The default port for the Remote Loader is 8090.

    The kmo entry is optional. It is only used when there is an SSL connection between the Remote Loader and the Metadirectory engine.

    Example: hostname=10.0.0.1 port=8090 kmo=IDMCertificate

    Driver Cache Limit (kilobytes)

    Manual

    The driver does not start when the Identity Manager server is started. The driver must be started through Designer or iManager.

    Disabled

    The driver has a cache file that stores all of the events. When the driver is set to Disabled, this file is deleted and no new events are stored in the file until the driver state is changed to Manual or Auto Start.

    Do not automatically synchronize the driver

    This option only applies if the driver is deployed and was previously disabled. If this is not selected, the driver re-synchronizes the next time it is started.
