Table 6-1 Driver Parameters

Parameter

Default Value

Description

SIF Agent name

Novell Identity Manager

Specify the name this driver uses to register as a SIF Agent with the Zone Integration Server. The driver must have a Zone-unique, case-sensitive name.

You need to coordinate with the ZIS administrator to make sure that the same name is used when configuring the ZIS, as described in Configuring the ZIS to Recognize the Driver.

SIF Specification version

SIF Spec 1.5r1

Specify the SIF Specification version you want this driver to use, either SIF Spec 1.1, or SIF Spec 1.5r1.

Driver keystore file

Blank

Specify the path and name of the client keystore file used when the ZIS is configured to request client authentication. For example: java-home\jre\lib\security\sifagentcert. This keystore file should hold only the client key and certificate.

Leave this field blank if client authentication is not used.

See Section 6.2, Setting Up Security.

Driver certificate password

Blank

Specify the key password (not the keystore password) used when the ZIS is configured to request client authentication.

Leave this field blank if client authentication is not used.

See Section 6.2, Setting Up Security.

Authentication level

0

Specifies the security requirements of the communication channel between the ZIS and the recipient agents. Authentication level and encryption level define the minimum level of security a data transport channel must provide.

See the SIF Specification for more information about authentication level.

Encryption level

0

Encryption level specifies the security requirements of the communication channel between the ZIS and the recipient agents. Authentication level and encryption level define the minimum level of security a data transport channel must provide.

See the SIF Specification for more information about encryption level.

Poll rate in seconds

900

Specify the rate at which the driver polls the Zone Integration Server (ZIS) for incoming messages. We recommend 900 seconds when the driver is used in a production environment.

StudentSchoolEnrollment TimeFrame

Current

Specify the StudentSchoolEnrollment TimeFrame attribute values you want the driver to recognize. StudentSchoolEnrollment objects with TimeFrame values not specified here are ignored.

Normally, the setting for this parameter should be Current. Specify other combinations only if your Student Information System uses them.
