3.3 Installing the Remote Loader

This section provides the following information:

3.3.1 Requirements

Each driver requires that the connected system be available and the relevant APIs are provided. Refer to the Identity Manager Driver documentation website for operating system and connected system requirements that are specific to each system.

3.3.2 Supported Drivers

NetIQ recommends that you use the Remote Loader configuration with your drivers where possible. Use the Remote Loader even in cases where the connected system is on the same server as the Identity Manager server engine.

When you run the driver shim in the Remote Loader configuration, the following advantages apply:

  • Memory and processing isolation between driver shims allows for better performance and monitoring of the Identity Manager solution.

  • Patching and upgrading the driver shim does not impact eDirectory or other drivers.

  • Protects eDirectory from fatal issues that could occur in the driver shim.

  • Distributes the load from the driver shims to other servers.
