IMPORTANT:This section applies to upgrading from DirXML® 1. x only.
Because you are upgrading the driver on two separate Identity Vault servers, you must complete the upgrade procedures for each server.
Installing the driver shim does not change your existing configuration. Your existing configuration continues to work with the new driver shim.
However, to take advantage of new features, you must upgrade your driver configuration, either by replacing your driver configuration with the new example configuration or by converting your existing configuration to Identity Manager 3.5.1 format and adding policies to it.
To replace your existing configuration, import the new sample configuration for your existing driver objects.
The sample configuration contains all the newer features, such as support for Identity Manager Password Synchronization and Role-Based Entitlements.
To convert an existing driver configuration so that you can edit it with the new Identity Manager plug-ins, see
Upgrading a Driver Configuration from DirXML 1.1a to Identity Manager 3.5.1 Format
in the
Novell Identity Manager 3.5.1 Administration Guide
.
To add Identity Manager Password Synchronization functionality to an existing driver configuration, seev
Upgrading Existing Driver Configurations to Support Password Synchronization
in the
Novell Identity Manager 3.5.1 Administration Guide
.
The new policies for password synchronization are intended to support Universal Password and Distribution Password. If you are planning to synchronize only the NDS® Password, these policies should not be added to the driver configuration. NDS Password is synchronized by using Public Key and Private Key attributes instead of these policies.
