You can control the operation of the driver by modifying the properties described in the following sections.
IMPORTANT:Changing these values requires a restart of the driver.
Driver properties and Global Configuration Values are first created during the deployment of Designer Top Secret Driver packages. Driver properties and Global Configuration Values are first created during the deployment of Designer Top Secret Driver packages. For details, see Creating the Driver in Designer.
To edit the properties shown on the Driver Configuration page and the Global Configuration Values page:
In iManager, select Identity Manager Overview from the Identity Manager task list on the left side of the window.
Navigate to your driver set by searching the tree or by entering its name.
Click the driver to open its overview.
Click the driver icon.
Select Driver Configuration or Global Config Values as appropriate.
Edit the property values as desired, then click OK.

The Driver object password is used by the driver shim (embedded Remote Loader) to authenticate itself to the Metadirectory engine. This must be the same password that is specified as the Driver object password on the connected system driver shim.
The Remote Loader Connection Parameters option specifies information that the driver uses for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) communication with the connected system.
Table 5-2 Remote Loader Connection Parameters
|
Parameter |
Description |
|---|---|
|
host=hostName |
Connected system host name or IP address. |
|
port=portNumber |
Connected system TCP port number. The default is 8090. |
|
kmo=objectRDN |
The RDN of the object with the server certificate signed by the tree’s certificate authority. Enclose the RDN in double quotes (") if the name contains spaces. |
The following is an example Remote Loader connection parameter string:
hostname=192.168.17.41 port=8090 kmo="SSL CertificateDNS"
The Remote Loader password is used to control access to the driver shim (embedded Remote Loader). This must be the same password that is specified as the Remote Loader password on the connected system driver shim.
Specifies whether the driver shim discards events that would cause loopback conditions. This function supplements the loopback detection provided by the Metadirectory engine.
Specifies whether the driver automatically creates home directories in the hierarchical file system when users are created.
Specifies the data set name of the catalog used for new users created by the driver.
If you specify a value for User Catalog Alias, the REXX exec to add a new user issues the following command:
DEFINE ALIAS(NAME('user') RELATE('UserCatalogAlias'))
Specifies the data set name of the catalog used for new groups created by the driver.
If you specify a value for Group Catalog Alias, the REXX exec to add a new group issues the following command:
DEFINE ALIAS(NAME('group') RELATE('GroupCatalogAlias'))
Specifies the number of seconds that the Publisher shim waits after running the polling exec and sending events from the change log to the Metadirectory engine. The default interval is 60 seconds.
Specifies whether the Publisher shim is active.
Select Yes if you are using Identity Vault to Application (one-way) data flow. This saves processing time.
Specifies how often, in seconds, the driver shim contacts the Metadirectory engine to verify connectivity. Specify 0 to disable the heartbeat.

Specifies the name of the driver. This value is used by the e-mail notification templates.
Specifies the ACID of a user to be used as a model for creating new users.
Specifies the default department for new users.
Specifies the default group for new users.
Specifies the default account number for new users.
Specifies the default cataloged procedure name for new users. For example, IKJACCNT.
Specifies the default unit name for new users. For example, SYSALLDA.
Specifies how UID and GID numbers are assigned to new users and groups. Select Assign by Top Secret or Assign by Identity Vault.
Specifies a range of numbers used when Top Secret assigns UID numbers for new users. The REXX exec to add a new user uses this value with the RANGE keyword on the TSS command. Use a pair of values separated by a comma, similar to the following:
10000,200000
Specifies a range of numbers used when Top Secret assigns GID numbers for new groups. The REXX exec to add a new group uses this value with the RANGE keyword on the TSS command. Use a pair of values separated by a comma, similar to the following:
10000,200000
Specifies the default OMVS home directory path for new users. Include the ending slash (/) in the directory path. The user’s ACID is appended to the value that you specify. Use a value similar to the following:
/home/
In this example, the home directory that is assigned by the driver for a user whose ACID is IBMUSER is /home/IBMUSER.
Specifies the default OMVS program (login shell). Use a value similar to the following:
/bin/sh
Specifies whether the driver allows passwords to flow from the Identity Vault to the connected system.
Specifies whether the driver allows passwords to flow from the connected system to the Identity Vault.
Specifies whether the driver allows passwords to be reset from the connected system in the Identity Vault. An administrative user can use the TSS REPLACE command to set another user’s password.
Specifies whether the driver uses passwords from the connected system to set NDS® passwords in the Identity Vault. NDS passwords in the Identity Vault are not bidirectional and cannot be synchronized to another system.
Specifies whether the driver uses passwords from the connected system to set NMAS™ Distribution Passwords, which are used for Identity Manager password synchronization.
Specifies whether the driver applies NMAS password policies to published passwords. If so, a password is not written to the Identity Vault if it does not conform.
Specifies whether, on a publish Distribution Password failure, the driver attempts to reset the password on the connected system using the Distribution Password from the Identity Vault.
Specifies whether the driver sends an e-mail to a user if the password cannot be synchronized.
Specifies the base container object in the Identity Vault for user synchronization. This container is used in the Subscriber channel Event Transformation policy to limit the Identity Vault objects being synchronized. This container is used in the Publisher channel Placement policy as the destination for adding objects to the Identity Vault. Use a value similar to the following:
users.myorg
Specifies the base container object in the Identity Vault for group synchronization. This container is used in the Subscriber channel Event Transformation policy to limit the Identity Vault objects being synchronized. This container is used in the Publisher channel Placement policy as the destination when adding objects to the Identity Vault. Use a value similar to the following:
groups.myorg
