5.5 Using Driver Object Passwords

In addition to the mandatory certificates needed to use SSL, for additional security you should configure the driver so that the Subscriber channel on one tree authenticates to the Publisher channel on the remote tree. The Driver object password in each tree should be set up to match the application password in the other tree.

To set the Identity Manager Driver object password in a tree:

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

  2. Locate the driver set containing the eDirectory driver, then click the driver’s icon.

  3. From the Identity Manager Driver Overview page, click the eDirectory driver object.

  4. Select Driver Configuration.

    Select from a drop-down list or tab, depending on the iManager version and your environment.

  5. Locate the Driver Object Password section.
