1.2 New Features

1.2.1 Driver Features

  • Platform Logon is a driver shim configuration parameter. It enables local logon for the shim. When local logon is enabled, Subscriber channel password set and password modify use platform password management API’s that do not require an SSL-encrypted LDAP session.

    Exchange operations using CDOEXM uses the thread identity for authentication and authorization to reduce the possibility that operations outside of the LDAP channel can fail. Please refer to Section 4.0, Configuring the Active Directory Driver for details.

  • The driver shim configuration parameters are updated. The driver parameters use flexible prompting which allows for a better categorization of parameters and better control of the values placed in the parameters. Parameters constrained to a set of well-known values are controlled by a drop-down list and parameters that require integer values are checked for invalid characters.
  • Two driver shim configuration parameters are added to control Microsoft Exchange mailbox moves and deletes. When CDOEXM and Exchange Mailbox Move are enabled, setting a value for the homeMDB attribute on a user object that already holds an Exchange mailbox causes that mailbox to be moved to new Exchange Message Database. The shim supports intra-domain moves only: the Exchange server hosting the new message database must be in the same domain being managed by the shim.
  • In creased support for Role-Based Entitlements through the User Application or through policies. See Creating and Using Entitlementsin the Novell Identity Manager 3.0.1 Administration Guide.
  • The driver shim includes support for extended queries (query-ex). Extended queries enable paged-results in LDAP searches. This feature allows the shim to migrate a larger dataset from Active Directory to the Identity Vault. See Section 8.0, Troubleshooting for more information on migrating from Active Directory.
