1.4 Support for Standard Driver Features

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

1.4.1 Local Platforms

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

The SAP User Management driver can be installed on the operating systems supported by the identity Manager engine. For information about the operating systems supported for the Identity Manager engine, see the NetIQ Identity Manager Technical Information website.

1.4.2 Remote Platforms

The SAP User Management driver must reside on the same server as the SAP User application. If you do not want to install the Identity Manager engine and the Identity Vault (eDirectory) on the SAP server, you can use the Remote Loader service to run the driver on one server while having the Identity Manager engine and the Identity Vault on another server.

The SAP User Management driver can be installed on the same operating systems supported by the Remote Loader. For information about the operating systems supported for 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 with the SAP system.

1.4.3 Entitlements

The SAP User Management 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.

1.4.4 Account Tracking

The SAP User Management driver supports account tracking that is a feature of the NetIQ Compliance Management Platform. For more information, see the NetIQ Compliance Management Platform Web site.

1.4.5 Identity Applications

The SAP User Management driver supports Identity Applications that comes with Identity Manager. For more information, see Identity Applications Administration in the NetIQ Identity Manager - Administrator’s Guide to the Identity Applications.
