A DirXML 1.x driver configuration can be run with an Identity Manager DirXML driver shim and the Identity Manager DirXML engine, with no changes to the driver configuration (unless you are using Password Synchronization 1.0; see Upgrading from Password Synchronization 1.0 to Identity Manager Password Synchronization).
However, to edit a DirXML 1.x driver configuration, you must either use the DirXML 1.x iManager plug-ins or ConsoleOne®, or run the wizard that converts DirXML 1.x configurations to Identity Manager format so you can edit the configuration using the Identity Manager iManager plug-ins. See "Managing DirXML 1.x Drivers in an Identity Manager Environment" and "Upgrading a Driver Configuration from DirXML 1.x to Identity Manager Format" in the Novell Nsure Identity Manager 2 Administration Guide.
NOTE: Running an Identity Manager driver configuration with a DirXML 1.x driver shim is not supported.
To take advantage of the features of Identity Manager, review the sample configuration provided for NT, and see Upgrading from Password Synchronization 1.0 to Identity Manager Password Synchronization or Upgrading to Support Identity Manager Password Synchronization. See also the Novell Nsure Identity Manager 2 Administration Guide for information about the new features.
