2.1 Where to Install the Driver Shim

You install Identity Manager and the eDirectory™ driver shim on both of the Novell® eDirectory servers and in the trees that you want to synchronize. This driver does not use the Remote Loader technology because the driver in one tree communicates directly with the driver in the other tree.

The driver uses Novell Certificate Server™ and a Certificate Authority (CA) to ensure data security. All transactions between trees will be secured through SSL technology. For information on data security, see Section 4.2, Configuring Secure Identity Manager Data Transfers.
