1.4 Driver Components

The driver uses the following components:

1.4.1 GroupWise API

This API is necessary for the driver to perform the required actions in GroupWise. It is installed together with the driver shim.

1.4.2 Driver Shim

A Java* driver shim is used to communicate between the Metadirectory engine and the GroupWise API. This driver shim is installed at the same time as the GroupWise API.

1.4.3 Driver Configuration

The XML driver configuration file contains all Identity Vault objects necessary for the driver, including the appropriate policies for adding, modifying, and deleting or disabling GroupWise accounts. In addition, the driver configuration file controls the information being sent from the Identity Vault to GroupWise. The driver configuration file should be installed to the computer where your management tool (iManager) resides.
