5.4 Support for Driver Configuration Versions
In Identity Manager 4.0.1, driver configuration files are replaced with packages. You can still use driver configuration files. However, new and updated content for drivers is contained only in packages.
The Driver Configuration Wizard provides the following versioning information about the driver configuration files and your Identity Manager solution.
-
The engine version that you are importing into. This information is taken from the current project. You control the version number.
-
A descriptive name of the driver configuration.
-
The version of the configuration as a single (undelimited) version number.
-
The minimum required engine version for this configuration to run.
-
The full filename of the selected list item. This name is below the list. It is displayed there for transparency.
-
A check box that indicates possible unrecommended or incompatible configuration files.
Figure 5-4 A Deselected Show All Check Box
By default, the check box is deselected if unrecommended or possibly incompatible configuration files are available. If all available driver configuration files are recommended and guaranteed compatible, the check box is dimmed and selected, indicating that all available options are displayed.
A deselected check box implies the following:
-
Additional driver configuration files are available but they are not recommended.
-
The additional driver configuration files are probably incompatible with the engine version that you are importing to.
-
In the following figure, the check box is selected.

The list now contains many more items than were displayed when the check box was deselected. These new items were previously hidden because the minimum required engine version for them is 3.5. Because the user is importing to 3.0.1, the configuration might be incompatible.
