You must create a separate User Application driver for each User Application, except for User Applications on a cluster. User applications that are part of the same cluster must share a single User Application driver. For information on running the User Application in a cluster, see the Identity Manager 3.5.1 User Application Administration Guide.
The User Application stores application-specific data in the driver to control and configure the application environment. This includes the application server cluster information and the workflow engine configuration.
IMPORTANT:Configuring a set of non-cluster User Applications to share a single driver creates ambiguity and misconfiguration for one or more of the components running inside the User Application. The source of the resulting problems is difficult to detect.
To create a User Application driver and associate it with a driver set:
Log in to the Identity Vault with iManager (if you have not already done so).
Go to Roles and Tasks > Identity Manager Utilities and select New Driver to launch the Create Driver Wizard.
To create the driver in an existing driver set, select Next, and continue with Step 4.
, click the object selector icon, select a driver set object, clickor
If you need to create a new driver set (for example, if you are placing the User Application driver on a different server from your other drivers), select Next, then define the new driver set properties.
, clickSpecify a name, a context, and a server for the new driver set.
Click
.Click Import a driver configuration from the server (.XML file).
Select UserApplication.xml from the drop-down list.
This is the configuration file for your new driver.
Click Next.
If UserApplication.xml is not in this drop-down list, you probably did not run the Web-Based Administration Server portion of the Identity Manager 3.5.1 install.
You are prompted for parameters for your driver. (Scroll to view all.) Make a note of the parameters; you need these when you install the User Application.
Click Next.
Click Define Security Equivalences to open the Security Equals window. Browse to and select an administrator or other Supervisor object, then click .
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.
(Optional, but recommended) Click Exclude Administrative Roles.
Click Add, select users you want to exclude for driver actions (such as administrative roles). Click OK twice, then click Next.
Click
to close the Security Equals window and display the summary page.If the information is correct, click Finish or Finish with Overview.
IMPORTANT:The driver is off by default. Leave the driver off until the User Application has been installed.
