1.4 Driver Components

This section contains information about the following driver components:

  • Driver Packages: There are multiple packages that contain policies and entitlements that make the driver work. These are what allows the driver to become a fan-out driver or a traditional driver.

    For more information, see Section 6.0, Creating a New Driver Object.

  • Driver Shim: The driver shim handles communication between the SAP clients and the Metadirectory engine.

    The driver shim filename is sapumshim.jar.

    For installation information, see Section 3.0, Installing the SAP User Management Fan-Out Driver Files.

  • SAP User Java Connector Test Utility: In order to use the driver, you must download and install SAP JCo version 3. The SAP JCo 3 Test utility enables you to check for JCo installation and configuration issues prior to configuring the driver. You can use the JCo 3 test utility to validate the installation of JCo 3, connectivity to the SAP host system, as well as testing for the accessibility of the user management BAPIs used by the driver.

    The JCo 3 test utility filename is UserJCO3Test.class.

    For more information, see Section 5.0, Testing the SAP JCo Client Connection.
