Driver Features
- The DirXML Driver 1.1 for SIF conforms to SIF Implementation Specification 1.1, and is certified by the SIF organization.
- The driver configuration provided has the following enhancements:
- Manages multiple Zones using a single driver object. You can manage up to 10 Zones with one driver object.
- Manages both students and staff using a single driver object.
- Allows configuration data to be edited more easily (such as school names and codes, and student groups), through the use of global configuration values (GCVs).
- Provides more flexibility for creating the pattern for user IDs.
- Places user objects that have login disabled in a container you specify. For example, students whose login has been disabled because the student has withdrawn from school can be automatically placed in a Disabled container.
- The driver supports bidirectional data flow. This new feature allows for the following options:
- You can specify that eDirectory is the authoritative source for some SIF attributes, meaning that changes made to those attributes in eDirectory are published to other SIF-enabled applications.
- If your student information system is not SIF-enabled, you can use the DirXML Driver for SIF to provide student information to other SIF-enabled applications.
- The driver requires NsureTM Identity Manager, which supports iManager as the management utility. ConsoleOne(R) is no longer supported.
