By default, the SAP User Management driver files are installed on the Identity Manager server at the same time as the Identity Manager engine. The installation program extends the Identity Vault’s schema and installs the driver shim and the driver configuration file. It does not create the driver in the Identity Vault (see Section 5.0, Creating a New Driver Object) or upgrade an existing driver’s configuration (see Section 6.0, Upgrading an Existing Driver).
The SAP User Management driver must be located on the same server as the SAP User application. If the driver is not on that server, you have the following options:
Install the Identity Manager server (Identity Manager engine and drivers) to the SAP server. This requires Identity Vault to be installed on the server. See the instructions in Installing and Configuring Identity Manager Components
in the NetIQ Identity Manager Setup Guide for Linux or in Installing the Engine, Drivers, and iManager Plug-ins
in the NetIQ Identity Manager Setup Guide for Windows.
Install the Remote Loader (required to run the driver on a non-Identity Manager server) and the SAP User Management driver files to the SAP server. This assumes that you already have a Identity Manager server installed on another server in your environment. See the instructions in Installing and Configuring Identity Manager Components
in the NetIQ Identity Manager Setup Guide for Linux or in Installing Remote Loader
in the NetIQ Identity Manager Setup Guide for Windows.
As part of Identity Manager installation, install SAP Utilities. This installs the SAP Java Connector Test utility that you can use to ensure that the driver has connection to the SAP system. If you’ve already installed the driver files but did not install the SAP Utilities, you can run the installation program again to install only the SAP Utilities.
The server where the SAP driver is installed must have the SAP Java Connector (JCO) client technology version 3.x to provide the driver with connectivity to the SAP system.
This JCO client is available to SAP customers and developer partners through SAP, and is provided for most popular server operating systems. You can download the JCO from the SAP Connectors site.
