NDK: Novell Novell Identity Manager Driver Kit

Novell® Identity Manager, powered by DirXML®, enables an application to share selected directory data with eDirectory™, and to synchronize that data between eDirectory and the application. Identity Manager has four main components:

The DirXML engine which provides the framework.
The Identity Manager policies which control the mapping of attributes and classes and the matching and creation of entries.
Event filters which control the direction of data synchronization.
The Identity Manager driver shims which serves as the interface between the application and the DirXML engine.

This document describes how to implement such an Identity Manager driver shim and contains the following sections:

Audience

This guide is intended for the XML developer interested in creating Identity Manager driver shims.
