[. . . ] The policy container can only be created under the ID Provider driver. Policy Container DN LDAP DN for the policy container under the driver object. For example cn=idpolicies, cd=idprovider, cn=driverset1, dc=idm, dc=services, dc=system. Client Options The client options are for the ID Provider clients. For more information, see Chapter 4, "Configuring ID Clients, " on page 23. Table 3-2 Client Options Parameter Default Value Description Client name ID-Provider Driver This is the name the driver uses when it acts as an ID client and requests and ID from the provider. This is useful for tracing and if access control is enabled on any of the ID policies. If access control is enabled, a list of ID client names can be specified that are allowed to obtain an ID from the policy. If the client name associated with the request is not in that list, the provider does not issue an ID. 18 Identity Manager 3. 6 ID Provider Driver Implementation Guide novdocx (en) 13 May 2009 Parameter Default Value Description ID Generation Map workforceID=wfid Enter a comma-separated list of attribute=policy pairs. This example configures the driver to request IDs from the wfid policy and stores them in the workforceID attribute whenever a new object is created or whenever someone tries to change this attribute. The driver only issues IDs for any attribute if that attribute and the object class holding the attribute are in both the Subscriber, Publisher, Filter, and are set to synchronize. Note: Attribute names must be in the Identity Namespace (not LDAP) and must be case-exact. Server Options Allow you to setup clients other than the ID Provider driver using Java remote method invocation (RMI). It also allows you to set ID Provider trace level. Table 3-3 Server Options Parameter Default Value Description Start RMI True Controls whether the ID provider starts an RMI service or not. You only need a running RMI service if you request IDs from other clients than the driver (for example, DirXMLScript policies. ) If all IDs are managed through this driver's filter and ID Generation Map settings, then no RMI service is needed. Leave this field empty if you want the server to bind to all IP addresses. If that port is already in use (you see errors in the trace when you start the driver), use a different port lower than 1024. This configuration assumes a port of 1199 to avoid common port conflicts. Enables the backward compatibility mode when migrating an existing ID-Server configuration to run with the new ID Provider driver. Setting this to True allows you to keep using legacy ID policies, which do not use the new schema that ships with the ID Provider. RMI server 172. 17. 2. 117 RMI port 1199 Use legacy ID-server schema? False Creating a New Driver 19 novdocx (en) 13 May 2009 Parameter Default Value Description Trace level ALL This is not the driver trace level, but the ID Provider trace level. ALL: Displays all messages. 3. 2 Creating ID Policies An ID Policy container is a repository for ID policies and is used in conjunction with the ID Provider driver. When the ID Provider driver receives an ID request from a client, it generates an ID based on the ID policy specified in the request and passes it to the client. By default, there are three ID policies that are created when the driver is imported. The default policies are: pid: The pid policy generates unique ids between the range of 100000 to 2000000000. wfid: The wfid policy generates unique ids between the range of 10000000 to 99999999. It also adds the prefix of WFID to each unique ID for the workforce ID. [. . . ] Example: hostname=10. 0. 0. 1 port=8090 kmo=IDMCertificate Driver Cache Limit (kilobytes) or Cache limit (KB) Application Password or Set Password Remote Loader Password or Set Password Used only if the driver is connecting to the application through the Remote Loader. It must be the same password specified during the configuration of the Remote Loader on the connected system. Specify the password for the user object listed in the Authentication ID field. A. 1. 4 Startup Option The Startup Option allows you to set the driver state when the Identity Manager server is started. Table A-4 Startup Options Option Description Auto start Manual The driver starts every time the Identity Manager server is started. The driver does not start when the Identity Manager server is started. [. . . ]
