You can upgrade to the Identity Manager Driver for CA-Top Secret 2.0 from the Fan-Out driver.
The Fan-Out driver provides one-way synchronization to a heterogeneous mix of systems including Linux and UNIX systems, and IBM OS/400* and z/OS systems. The Fan-Out driver also provides authentication redirection from those systems.
Moving to the Identity Manager Driver for CA-Top Secret 2.0 provides two main advantages.
Bidirectional Synchronization: The driver allows synchronization from the connected system.
Standard Identity Manager Policies That Simplify Customization: The Fan-Out driver makes minimal use of Identity Manager policies.
Consider the following before migrating from the Fan-Out driver.
Heterogeneity: The Fan-Out driver supports operating system environments besides eTrust CA-Top Secret. You can continue to use the Fan-Out driver for those systems while using the Identity Manager Driver for CA-Top Secret 2.0 on your eTrust CA-Top Secret systems.
Authentication Redirection: The Fan-Out driver provides authentication redirection using the password exit. The Identity Manager Driver for CA-Top Secret 2.0 provides bidirectional password synchronization.
