You can control the operation of the i5/OS driver by modifying the properties described in the following sections.
IMPORTANT:Changing these values requires a restart of the driver.
To change import-only properties, you must re-import the driver configuration file i5os.xml over the existing driver. For details, see Section 3.6, Setting Up the Driver on the Metadirectory Server.
To edit the properties shown on the Driver Configuration page and the Global Configuration Values page:
In iManager, select from the Identity Manager task list on the left side of the window.
Navigate to your Driver Set by searching the tree or by entering its name.
Click the driver to open its overview.
Click the driver icon.
Select or as appropriate.
Edit the property values as desired, then click .
Properties that you can set only during driver import are used to generate policies and other configuration details.

Bidirectional: Identities are synchronized from both the Identity Vault and the connected system (application). After all pending events are processed, the Identity Vault and connected system mirror each other.
Application to Identity Vault: Identities are synchronized from the connected system (application) to the Identity Vault, but not vice versa. For example, an identity created in the Identity Vault is not created on the connected system unless explicitly migrated.
Identity Vault to Application: Identities are synchronized from the Identity Vault to the connected system (application), but not vice versa. For example, changes made to an i5/OS identity are not synchronized to the Identity Vault.
Specifies whether the driver uses either Approval Flow or Role-Based Entitlements with the Entitlements Service driver.
Enable entitlements for the driver only if you plan to use the User Application or Role-Based Entitlements with the driver.
You can use Role-Based Entitlements to integrate the i5/OS driver with the Identity Manager User Application. For more information about the User Application, see the User Application guides on the Novell Identity Manager 3.6.1 Web site.
Specifies whether the driver uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to encrypt the connection between the Identity Vault and the application.
We strongly recommend that you use SSL. If you do not use SSL, identity data, including passwords, is sent across the network in clear text.
Table 6-2 Driver Configuration Page
The Driver object password is used by the driver shim (embedded Remote Loader) to authenticate itself to the Metadirectory engine. This must be the same password that is specified as the Driver object password on the connected system driver shim.
The Remote Loader Connection Parameters option specifies information that the driver uses for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) communication with the connected system.
Table 6-3 Remote Loader Connection Parameters
The following is an example Remote Loader connection parameter string:
hostname=192.168.17.41 port=8090 kmo="SSL CertificateIP"
The Remote Loader password is used to control access to the driver shim (embedded Remote Loader). This must be the same password that is specified as the Remote Loader password on the connected system driver shim.
Specifies whether the driver shim discards events that would cause loopback conditions. This function supplements the loopback detection provided by the Metadirectory engine.
Specifies whether the driver deletes any objects owned by a user profile when processing a delete command for that user profile.
You cannot delete a user profile that owns objects unless Remove Owned Objects is set to .
Specifies whether rename commands are ignored. There is no rename facility in i5/OS. If you do not ignore rename events, the default CL programs process them by creating a profile with the new name and the attributes of the original profile, then deleting the original profile.
Specifies the number of seconds that the Publisher shim waits after running the polling CL program and sending events from the change log to the Metadirectory engine. The default interval is 60 seconds.
Specifies whether the Publisher shim is active.
Select if you are using Identity Vault to Application (one-way) data flow. This saves processing time.
Specifies how often, in seconds, the driver shim contacts the Metadirectory engine to verify connectivity. Specify 0 to disable the heartbeat.

Specifies the name of the driver. This value is used by the e-mail notification templates.
Specifies whether the driver synchronizes group membership between the connected system and the Identity Vault.
Specifies whether the driver allows passwords to flow from the Identity Vault to the connected i5/OS system.
Specifies whether the driver allows passwords to flow from the connected i5/OS system to the Identity Vault.
Specifies whether the driver uses passwords from the connected i5/OS system to set non-reversible NDS® passwords in the Identity Vault.
Specifies whether the driver uses passwords from the connected i5/OS system to set NMAS™ Distribution Passwords, which are used for Identity Manager password synchronization.
Specifies whether the driver applies NMAS password policies to published passwords. If so, a password is not written to the Identity Vault if it does not conform.
Specifies whether, on a publish Distribution Password failure, the driver attempts to reset the password on the connected i5/OS system using the Distribution Password from the Identity Vault.
Specifies whether the driver sends an e-mail to a user if the password cannot be synchronized.
Specifies the base container object in the Identity Vault for user synchronization. This container is used in the Subscriber channel Event Transformation policy to limit the Identity Vault objects being synchronized. This container is used in the Publisher channel Placement policy as the destination for adding objects to the Identity Vault. Use a value similar to the following:
users.myorg
Specifies the base container object in the Identity Vault for group synchronization. This container is used in the Subscriber channel Event Transformation policy to limit the Identity Vault objects being synchronized. This container is used in the Publisher channel Placement policy as the destination when adding objects to the Identity Vault. Use a value similar to the following:
groups.myorg
