The DirXML engine provided with Identity Manager 2 supports a new way of securing the passwords you need to use in your driver policies. The sample driver configuration shows an example.
One use for this feature would be to store a password for each of your Notes certifiers. For example, if you had certifiers for Human Resources, Engineering, and Marketing, you could use named passwords to securely store the password for each respective certifier ID file in your driver parameters. In the driver configuration, you would click the Edit XML button and specify driver parameters something like this:
<cert-id-password display-name="Certifier Password" is-sensitive="true" type="password-ref">HR</cert-id-password>
<cert-id-password display-name="Certifier Password" is-sensitive="true" type="password-ref">Engineering</cert-id-password>
<cert-id-password display-name="Certifier Password" is-sensitive="true" type="password-ref">Marketing</cert-id-password>
When you return to the graphical interface for the driver parameters, each of these passwords has prompts to enter the password and confirm the password. These passwords are stored, encrypted, with the driver configuration. You can reference these passwords by name in your driver policies.
For an example of how to use named passwords, see the sample configuration and also the NotesCertifierSelectionSampleSS.xsl sample style sheet, listed in Additional Sample Style Sheets.
