4.0 Upgrading the Driver

If you have been using a previous version of the Identity Manager Driver for SIF, follow these instructions instead of the ones in Section 3.0, Installing the Driver.

The Identity Manager 3.5.1 engine is backward compatible with the Identity Manager 3.x, Identity Manager 2.x, and DirXML 1.1a SIF driver shim and driver configuration. We recommend that you upgrade Identity Manager and the SIF driver at the same time. The SIF driver and configuration are tightly coupled. Both must be used together.

If you are upgrading from Identity Manager 3.5.0 to Identity Manager 3.5.1, the following information does not apply.

Identity Manager 3.5.0 contains a new architecture for how policies reference one another. To take advantage of this new architecture, the driver configuration file provided for SIF must be upgraded. For more information on the new architecture, see Upgrading Identity Manager Policies in the Understanding Policies for Identity Manager 3.5.1 . You can upgrade the driver in Designer or iManager.
