2.5 Choosing between the Basic and the Advanced
Installation Methods
When you import the driver, you are prompted to choose either
the Basic Installation or the Advanced Installation. Select Advanced
Installation for any of the following:
- You plan to maintain RFC 2307 attribute
information, such as uidNumber, gidNumber, homeDirectory, loginShell,
and gecos, centrally from the Identity Vault. You can do this with
a manual process or by an automated process, such as by using the
Linux and UNIX Settings driver. You do not want to publish changes
to this information from the Linux or UNIX system.
- You plan to maintain RFC 2307 attribute information
locally on the connected Linux or UNIX system. You do not want to
subscribe to changes to this information from the Identity Vault.
- You want to publish information only.
- You want to subscribe to information only.
- You want to use Role-Based Entitlements.
- You want to override the defaults and configure
specific Linux and UNIX driver options, such as the automatic creation
of home directories, the automatic deletion of home directories,
or the setting of gecos values.
To view the driver import configuration settings offered by
each installation method, see Table 3-2,
