5.3 Configuring the Filter

One filter controls both the Publisher and the Subscriber channels. You should modify the filter to include object classes and attributes you want to be available for Identity Manager processing. To modify the filter:

  1. In iManager, click Identity Manager > Identity Manager Overview.

  2. Locate the driver set containing the eDirectory driver, then click the driver’s icon to display the Identity Manager Driver Overview page.

  3. Click the filter on the Publisher channel.

  4. Customize the driver.

    Options in the drivers' filter

    In this example, Country and Group are classes. To add a class, click Add Class, then select the class. To delete a class, select it, then click Delete.

    In this example, CN is an attribute of the Group class. To add an attribute, select the class, click A dd Attribute, then select the attribute.

    To modify a class or attribute, select it, then select options in the right pane. In this example, the Country attribute is synchronized on the Publisher and Subscriber channels. However, the GUID attribute isn’t synchronized on the Publisher channel.

    To synchronize the GUID attribute, select it, then click Synchronize in the Publish section.

    The GUID attribute is required for all classes that are set to Synchronize on the Subscriber channel.

    In general, except for the GUID attribute, the Subscriber channel filter in one tree should match the Publisher channel filter in the other tree, and vice versa.

  5. Click Apply, then click OK.
