1.0 Understanding the Salesforce.com Driver

Identity Manager 4.0 and later offers automatic provisioning and synchronization of users to cloud applications. The new Salesforce.com driver for NetIQ Identity Manager can seamlessly provision and de-provision users to and from the Salesforce.com cloud application keeping the user identity information consistent across the Identity Vault and the cloud application. The Salesforce.com driver supports secure password synchronization across Identity Vault and Salesforce.com cloud and supports authenticated proxy server and configurable user profile for automatic user provisioning. The Salesforce.com driver for Identity Manager offers out-of-the box random password generation policy for the newly provisioned users.

The Salesforce.com driver uses a combination of language and protocols to enable identity provisioning and data synchronization between Identity Vault and Salesforce.com.

IMPORTANT:The Publisher channel is supported with the driver shim version 4.0.0.0 and above only.
