. When you are ready to configure the settings, continue withAfter importing the driver configuration file, you need to configure the driver before it can run. You should complete the following tasks to configure the driver:
Configure the driver parameters: There are many settings that can help you customize and optimize the driver. The settings are divided into categories such as Driver Configuration, Engine Control Values, and Global Configuration Values (GCVs). Although it is important for you to understand all of the settings, your first priority should be to review the Driver Parameters located on the Driver Configuration page. The Driver Parameters let you configure the LDAP directory type, publication method, and other parameters associated with the Publisher channel.
Customize the driver policies and filter: The driver policies and filter control data flow between the Identity Vault and the application. You should ensure that the policies and filters reflect your business needs. For instructions, see Section 5.0, Customizing the Driver.
Set Up a Secure HTTPS Connection: The connection between the driver and the SPML or DSML server can be configured to use a secure HTTPS connection rather than an HTTP connection. For instructions, see Section 6.0, Securing Communication
After completing the configuration tasks, continue with the next section, Starting the Driver.
When a driver is created, it is stopped by default. To make the driver work, you must start the driver and cause events to occur. Identity Manager is an event-driven system, so after the driver is started, it won’t do anything until an event occurs.
To start the driver:
