This section talks briefly about importing the PeopleSoft driver through Designer and iManager utilities.
Designer allows you to import the basic driver configuration file for PeopleSoft. This file creates and configures the objects and policies needed to make the driver work properly. The following instructions explain how to create the driver and import the driver’s configuration.
There are many different ways of importing the driver configuration file. This procedure only documents one way.
Open a project in Designer and in the modeler, right-click on the Driver Set object and select
.From the drop-down list, select
, then click .Click
, in the Perform Prompt Validation window. It has you fill in all of the fields to correctly configure the PeopleSoft driver.Configure the driver by filling in the fields. Specify information specific to your environment.
After specifying parameters, click
to import the driver.After the driver is imported, customize and test the driver.
Once the driver is fully tested, deploy the driver into the Identity Vault. See
Deploying a Driver to an Identity Vault
in the
Designer 2.1 for Identity Manager 3.5.1
.
The Create Driver Wizard in iManager helps you import the basic driver configuration file for PeopleSoft. This file creates and configures the objects and policies needed to make the driver work properly. The following instructions explain how to create the driver and import the driver’s configuration.
In Novell® iManager, click
> .Select a driver set, then click
.If you place this driver in a new driver set, you must specify a driver set name, context, and associated server.
Select
, and then click .Configure the driver by filling in the fields. Specify information specific to your environment.
After specifying parameters, click
to import the driver.When the import is finished, you can define security equivalences and exclude administrative roles from replication.
The driver object must be granted sufficient eDirectory™ rights to any object it reads or write to. You can do this by granting Security Equivalence to the driver object. Normally, the driver should be given security equal to Admin.
Identify all objects that represent administrative roles and exclude them from replication.
Exclude the security-equivalence object (for example, DriversUser) that you specified in Step 5. If you delete the security-equivalence object, you have removed the rights from the driver. Therefore, the driver can’t make changes to Identity Manager.
Review the driver objects in the Summary page, then click
.Keep in mind that installing the driver software lets you get the driver up and running, but it does not install the product license. Without the license and activation, the driver will not run after 90 days. For more information, refer to
