The Remote Loader allows you to synchronize information to a connected system without having eDirectory installed on the connected system. The Remote Loader synchronizes the information to the Metadirectory server, which stores the data in the Identity Vault. Identity Manager uses eDirectory as the Identity Vault.
Install the Remote Loader on a machine that communicates with the connected system. The Remote Loader communicates between the connected system and the Metadirectory server, and makes it possible for Identity Manager to communicate with a machine that does not have eDirectory installed. For more information, see Installing the Remote Loader
in the Identity Manager 4.0.1 Remote Loader Guide.
Configure the Remote Loader for a driver. You define a specific instance of the Remote Loader to communicate with a specific driver. For more information, see Configuring the Remote Loader
in the Identity Manager 4.0.1 Remote Loader Guide.
Configure the driver to communicate with the Remote Loader. There is a driver guide for each driver. For specific information about your driver, see the Identity Manager 4.0.1 Drivers Documentation Web site.
(Optional) Enable entitlements on the driver. Verify that you have the correct policies in place to execute the entitlement. For more information, see the Identity Manager 4.0.1 Entitlements Guide.
Repeat these steps for each driver you have in your environment.
