4.1 Using Designer to Import

You can import the basic driver configuration file for Exchange by using Designer. This basic file creates and configures the objects and policies needed to make the driver work properly.

The following procedure explains one of several ways to import the sample configuration file:

  1. Open a project in Designer.

  2. In the Modeler, right-click the driver set, then select New > Driver.

  3. From the drop-down list, select Exchange 5.5, then click Run.

  4. Configure the driver by filling in the fields.

    Specify information specific to your environment. For information on settings, see Table 4-1. To continue through the settings, Click Next.

  5. Click Finish to import the driver.

  6. Deploy the driver into the Identity Vault.
