2.2 Where to Install the Driver

You install Identity Manager and the eDirectory driver on both of the Novell eDirectory servers and in the trees that you want to synchronize. Therefore, the installation and configuration of the driver must be completed twice—once for the eDirectory driver in TreeA and once for the driver in TreeB.

The eDirectory driver does not use the Remote Loader technology because the driver in one tree communicates directly with the driver in the other tree.

The driver uses Novell Certificate Server™ and a Certificate Authority (CA) to ensure data security. All transactions between trees will be secured through SSL technology. For information on data security, see Section 5.1, Configuring Secure Identity Manager Data Transfers.
