1.8 Support for Standard Driver Features

The following sections provide information about how the SAP HR driver supports these standard driver features:

1.8.1 Local Platforms

A local installation is an installation of the driver on the same server as the Identity Manager engine, Identity Vault, and SAP HR application. Both systems that the driver needs to communicate with (Identity Manager engine and SAP HR application) are local to the driver.

The SAP HR driver can be installed on the same operating systems supported by the Identity Manager server. For information about the operating systems supported by the Identity Manager server, see the NetIQ Identity Manager Technical Information website.

1.8.2 Remote Platforms

The SAP HR driver must reside on the same server as the SAP HR application. If you don’t want to install the Identity Manager engine and Identity Vault (eDirectory) on the SAP server, you can use the Remote Loader service to run the driver on the SAP server while having the Identity Manager engine and Identity Vault on another server.

The SAP HR driver can be installed on the same operating systems supported by the Remote Loader. For information about the operating systems supported by the Remote Loader, see the NetIQ Identity Manager Technical Information website.

NOTE:The driver is not supported with the Java Remote Loader because of the native library dependency.

1.8.3 Entitlements

The SAP HR driver does not have entitlement functionality defined with the default configuration file. The driver does support entitlements, if there are policies created for the driver to consume.
