Bidirectional Overview

There will be a bidirectional driver option in a future release of the Identity Manager Integration Module for Midrange.

Fan-Out Overview

The Fan-Out driver provides for delegated logic and control to your system administrators. You can process any Identity Manager data change event with a script on the platform. The Fan-Out driver provides for fan-out to hundreds of systems from a single driver. Authentication redirection provides login support for Universal Password, accessing a central repository for login and password rules. Full bidirectional password synchronization is also supported.

The Fan-Out driver is the natural upgrade path from Novell Account Management. The same extensible scripts are supported to manage users and groups on target platforms, and the same Authentication Services API is supported. In future releases, the Fan-Out driver will provide tighter integration with Identity Manager, while continuing to provide the flexibility to manage all aspects of the user experience using extensible scripts.

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 for Midrange is included in the distribution. For the latest version of the documentation, see the Nsure Identity Manager Driver Documentation Web site.
