4. Click OK.

5. Read through the deployment summary, then click Deploy.

6. Read the successful message, then click OK.

7. Click Define Security Equivalence to assign rights to the driver.

   The driver requires rights to objects within the Identity Vault. The Admin user object is most often used to supply these rights. However, you might want to create a DriversUser (for example) and assign security equivalence to that user. Whatever rights that the driver needs to have on the server, the DriversUser object must have the same security rights:

   1. Click Add, then browse to and select the object with the correct rights.

   2. Click OK twice.

8. Click Exclude Administrative Roles to exclude users that should not be synchronized.

   You should exclude any administrative User objects (for example, Admin and DriversUser) from synchronization:

   1. Click Add, then browse to and select the user object you want to exclude.

   2. Click OK.

   3. Repeat Step 8.a and Step 8.b for each object you want to exclude.

   4. Click OK.

9. Click OK.
