22.4 Starting and Stopping Drivers

When a driver gets created, it is stopped by default. To make the driver work, you must start the driver. OpenText Identity Manager is an event-driven system, so after the driver starts, it remains idle until an event occurs. Perform the following steps to start/stop the driver(s).

  1. Click the IDM Administration tab from the home page.

  2. Click the specific driver set object on the right hand side of your computer screen to display all the drivers associated to it.

  3. Click the Actions icon on the specific driver, and select Start Driver.

  4. To stop a driver object, click the Actions icon on the specific driver, and select Stop Driver.

  5. (Optional) Alternatively, you can start or stop all the drivers simultaneously residing in the same driver set object. Click the Actions icon on the driver set object and select Start All Drivers or Stop All Drivers.
