The Bidirectional driver provides complete integration with Identity Manager for full data and password synchronization. The MVS RACF Bidirectional driver has two components: the driver shim and its associated policies, and the RACF Event Subsystem. For more information see the MVS RACF Implementation Guide.

The Fan-Out driver provides Authentication Services and fan-out to hundreds of systems from a single driver, and provides extensible scripts to manage accounts on the target platforms. The Fan-Out driver is the natural upgrade path from Novell Account Management.

The Fan-Out driver has two components: the core driver and Platform Services. The core driver provides event fan-out to target platforms running Platform Services. A single core driver can support many platforms running Platform Services, regardless of platform operating system.

Documentation for the Fan-Out driver is included in the distribution in PDF format. For the latest version of the documentation, see the Nsure Identity Manager 2 Driver Documentation Web site.
