As the following examples illustrate, the driver enables you to automate and maintain business processes. You can:
Automatically create an Identity Vault account when an individual is hired or a student is admitted.
Automatically delete or deactivate Identity Vault accounts when an employee terminates.
Synchronize bidirectional data between PeopleSoft and the Identity Vault.
Maintain accurate and consistent Identity Vault IDs.
Define password policies (for example, a birthdate, social security number, and first and last name combinations).
Via Identity Vault, seamlessly allow integration between PeopleSoft and multiple applications (for example, eDirectory, Lotus Notes*, Netscape*, Exchange, Active Directory*).
Create other eDirectory objects associated with a PeopleSoft object (for example, account codes or department records).
Synchronize attributes between PeopleSoft and the Identity Vault.
Synchronize data from the Identity Vault to PeopleSoft.
The driver includes the following:
The Event Server program
The driver shim
The PeopleSoft Service Agent (PSA)
A driver configuration file
You can configure the PSA and the driver objects to enhance your organization’s business processes. Before installing and configuring the driver, you evaluate and define those processes. During installation, you configure the driver’s policies to automate these processes wherever possible.
