1.2 SharePoint Differs from Other Drivers

Unlike most other drivers, the SharePoint driver cannot be loaded directly by the Identity Manager engine. It can only be run from the .NET Remote Loader that has been created specifically for use with the SharePoint driver. The .NET Remote Loader and the SharePoint driver shim must be installed directly on the SharePoint server.

The SharePoint server that you install the .NET Remote Loader and driver shim on must have access to the SharePoint site collection for the SharePoint driver to work.

Any Identity Manager installation that can make a network connection (TCP/IP) to the SharePoint server can then load the SharePoint driver through the .NET Remote Loader.
