2.4 Choosing between the Basic and the Advanced Installation Methods

When you import the driver, you are prompted to choose either the Basic Installation or the Advanced Installation. Select Advanced Installation for any of the following:

  • You plan to maintain i5/OS attribute information, such as INLMNU, MAXSTG, and HOMEDIR, centrally from the Identity Vault. You do not want to publish changes to this information from the i5/OS system.

  • You only want to publish information.

  • You only want to subscribe to information.

  • You want to use Role-Based Entitlements.

  • You want to override the defaults and configure specific i5/OS driver options, such as synchronizing group membership.

To view the driver import configuration settings offered by each installation method, see Setting Up the Driver on the Metadirectory Server.
