DirXML Driver for PeopleSoft Implementation Guide

This document is for network administrators, consultants, and PeopleSoft* administrators who are using PeopleSoft 7.0, 7.5, or 8.1.

The DirXML^TM Driver for PeopleSoft, subsequently referred to as the driver, is designed to share data between NDS^® eDirectory^TM 8.5 and PeopleSoft. This configurable solution gives organizations the ability to increase productivity and streamline business processes by integrating PeopleSoft and eDirectory.

This driver connects to PeopleSoft via the Message Agent, a PeopleTools interface. The driver can be configured to work with any PeopleSoft module. This document uses the Human Resources Management Systems (HRMS) module to describe sample processes associated with the driver.
