1.8 Support for Standard Driver Features

The following sections provide information about how the SAP HR driver supports these standard driver features:

1.8.1 Local Platforms

A local installation is an installation of the driver on the same server as the Metadirectory engine, Identity Vault, and SAP HR application. Both systems that the driver needs to communicate with (Metadirectory engine and SAP HR application) are local to the driver.

The SAP HR driver can be installed on the same operating systems supported by the Metadirectory server. For information about the operating systems supported by the Metadirectory server, see Metadirectory Server in System Requirements in the Identity Manager 3.6.1 Installation Guide.

1.8.2 Remote Platforms

The SAP HR driver must reside on the same server as the SAP HR application. If you don’t want to install the Metadirectory engine and Identity Vault (eDirectory) on the SAP server, you can use the Remote Loader service to run the driver on the SAP server while having the Metadirectory engine and Identity Vault on another server.

The SAP HR driver can be installed on the same operating systems supported by the Remote Loader. For information about the operating systems supported by the Remote Loader, see Remote Loader in System Requirements in the Identity Manager 3.6.1 Installation Guide.

1.8.3 Entitlements

The SAP HR driver does not have entitlement functionality defined with the default configuration file. The driver does support entitlements, if there are policies created for the driver to consume.
