5.3 Creating the User Application Driver

To create the User Application Driver and associate it with a driver set:

  1. Log in to the Identity Vault with iManager (if you have not already done so).

  2. Go to Roles and Tasks > Utilities and select New Driver to launch the Create Driver Wizard.

    Create driver
  3. To create the driver in an existing driver set, click the Browse button locate the driver set. Then click Next and continue with Step 4. Or to create the driver in a new driver set, select In a new driver set and click Next.

    If you selected In a new driver set, you are prompted to define the new driver set properties.

    Define properties for new driver set
    1. Specify a name, a context, and a server for the driver set, then click Next. You are prompted for the driver XML file.

  4. Click Import a driver configuration from the server (.XML file), then open the drop-down list of drivers.

    Select UserApplication.xml
  5. Select UserApplication.xml, then click Next.

    NOTE:If UserApplication.xml is not listed in this drop-down list, you probably did not run the Web-Based Administration Server portion of the Identity Manager 3 install.

  6. Fill in the following fields:

    Field

    Description

    Driver Name

    The name of the driver you are creating.

    Authentication ID/Password

    The Distinguished Name and associated password of the User Application Administrator. For example:

    cn=admin,ou=orgunit,o=novell
    

    Application Context

    The name of the User Application context (specified at install, for example, IDM.)

    Host

    The host name or IP address of the application server where the Identity Manager User Application is deployed.

    If the User Application is running in a cluster, type the dispatcher’s host name or IP address.

    Port

    The port for the host (above).

  7. Click Next.

  8. Enter or edit the driver’s configuration parameters, then click Next.

  9. Click Define Security Equivalences to display the Security Equals window. Use the navigation widget to navigate to and select an administrator (or other Supervisor) object. Then click Add to make the driver equivalent to the object selected.

    This step gives the driver the security permissions it needs. Details about the significance of this step can be found in your Identity Manager documentation.

  10. (Optional, but recommended). Click Exclude 'Administrative Roles’. Click Add, select Administrator, click OK, click OK. Then click the Next button at the bottom. Close the popup window by clicking OK.

    A summary screen displays.

    Configuration summary screen
  11. Accept the information by clicking Finish. If a page appears with a Finish with Overview button, click that button.

    You should now see the driver set and its attached drivers. The driver is turned off (the minus sign displays in the small red circle in the upper right corner of the driver graphic).

    IMPORTANT:Leave the driver off until the User Application has been installed.
