4.2 Importing the Driver Configuration in iManager

The Create Driver Wizard in iManager helps you import the basic driver configuration file for GroupWise. This file creates and configures the objects and policies needed to make the driver work properly. The following instructions explain how to create the driver and import the driver’s configuration.

  1. In Novell® iManager, click Identity Manager Utilities > Import Configurations.

  2. Select a driver set, then click Next.

    If you place this driver in a new driver set, you must specify a driver set name, context, and associated server.

  3. Select how you want the driver configurations sorted:

    • All configurations

    • Identity Manager 3.5 configurations

    • Identity Manager 3.0 configurations

    • Configurations not associated with an IDM version

  4. Select GroupWise, and then click Next.

  5. Configure the driver by filling in the fields with information specific to your environment.

    For information on the settings, see Table 4-1.

  6. After specifying parameters, click Next to import the driver.

    When the import is finished, you can define security equivalences and exclude administrative roles from replication.

    The driver object must be granted sufficient eDirectory™ rights to any object it reads or writes to. You can do this by granting Security Equivalence to the driver object. The driver must have Read/Write access to users, post offices, resources, groups, and distribution lists, and Create, Read, and Write rights to the post office container. Normally, the driver should be given security equal to Admin.

  7. Identify all objects that represent administrative roles and exclude them from replication.

    Exclude the security-equivalence object (for example, DriversUser) that you specified in Step 6. If you delete the security-equivalence object, you have removed the rights from the driver. Therefore, the driver can’t make changes to the Identity Vault.

  8. Review the driver objects in the Summary page, then click Finish.

Keep in mind that installing the driver software lets you get the driver up and running, but it does not install the product license. Without the license and activation, the driver will not run after 90 days. For more information, refer to Section 5.0, Activating the Driver.
