A.1 Driver Configuration

In iManager:

  1. Click to display the Identity Manager Administration page.

  2. Open the driver set that contains the driver whose properties you want to edit:

    1. In the Administration list, click Identity Manager Overview.

    2. If the driver set is not listed on the Driver Sets tab, use the Search In field to search for and display the driver set.

    3. Click the driver set to open the Driver Set Overview page.

  3. Locate the driver icon, then click the upper right corner of the driver icon to display the Actions menu.

  4. Click Edit Properties to display the driver’s properties page.

    By default, the Driver Configuration page is displayed.

In Designer:

  1. Open a project in the Modeler.

  2. Right-click the driver icon or line, then select click Properties > Driver Configuration.

The Driver Configuration options are divided into the following sections:

A.1.1 Driver Module

The driver module changes the driver from running locally to running remotely or the reverse.

Table A-1

Option

Description

Java

Used to specify the name of the Java class that is instantiated for the shim component of the driver. This class can be located in the classes directory as a class file, or in the lib directory as a .jar file. If this option is selected, the driver is running locally.

The Java class name is:

com.novell.nds.dirxml.driver.sungardbannershim.SungardBannerDriverShim

Native

This option is not used with the Sungard Banner driver.

Connect to Remote Loader

Used when the driver is connecting remotely to the connected system. Designer includes two suboptions:

  • Driver Object Password: Specifies a password for the Driver object. If you are using the Remote Loader, you must enter a password on this page. Otherwise, the remote driver does not run. The Remote Loader uses this password to authenticate itself to the remote driver shim.

  • Remote Loader Client Configuration for Documentation: Includes information on the Remote Loader client configuration when Designer generates documentation for the driver.

A.1.2 Driver Object Password

Table A-2

Option

Description

Driver Object Password

Use this option to set a password for the driver object. If you are using the Remote Loader, you must enter a password on this page or the remote driver does not run. This password is used by the Remote Loader to authenticate itself to the remote driver shim.

A.1.3 Authentication

The authentication section stores the information required to authenticate to the connected system.

Table A-3

Option

Description

Authentication ID

or

User ID

The Sungard Banner driver uses separate authentication configurations for each channel. The driver does not use this Authentication information. Leave it blank.

Authentication Context

or

Connection Information

The Sungard Banner driver uses separate authentications for each channel. Leave this parameter blank.

Remote Loader Connection Parameters

or

Host name

Port

KMO

Other parameters

Used only if the driver is connecting to the application through the remote loader. The parameter to enter is hostname=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port=xxxx kmo=certificatename, when the host name is the IP address of the application server running the Remote Loader server and the port is the port the remote loader is listening on. The default port for the Remote Loader is 8090.

The kmo entry is optional. It is only used when there is an SSL connection between the Remote Loader and the Metadirectory engine.

Example: hostname=10.0.0.1 port=8090 kmo=IDMCertificate

Driver Cache Limit (kilobytes)

or

Cache limit (KB)

Specify the maximum event cache file size (in KB). If it is set to zero, the file size is unlimited.

Click Unlimited to set the file size to unlimited in Designer.

Application Password

or

Set Password

This option is not used with the Sungard Banner driver.

Remote Loader Password

or

Set Password

Used only if the driver is connecting to the application through the Remote Loader. The password is used to control access to the Remote Loader instance. It must be the same password specified during the configuration of the Remote Loader on the connected system.

A.1.4 Startup Option

The Startup Option section allows you to set the driver state when the Identity Manager server is started.

Table A-4

Option

Description

Auto start

The driver starts every time the Identity Manager server is started.

Manual

The driver does not start when the Identity Manager server is started. The driver must be started through Designer or iManager.

Disabled

The driver has a cache file that stores all of the events. When the driver is set to Disabled, this file is deleted and no new events are stored in the file until the driver state is changed to Manual or Auto Start.

Do not automatically synchronize the driver

This option only applies if the driver is deployed and was previously disabled. If this is not selected, the driver re-synchronizes the next time it is started.

A.1.5 Driver Parameters

The Driver Parameters section allows you to configure the driver-specific parameters. When you change driver parameters, you tune driver behavior to align with your network environment. For example, you might find the default Publisher polling interval to be shorter than your synchronization requires. Making the interval longer could improve network performance while still maintaining appropriate synchronization.

Option

Description

Driver Name

The name of the driver contained in the driver configuration file is Sungard Banner. Specify the actual name you want to use for the driver.

Driver is Local or Remote

Configure the driver for use with the Remote Loader service or daemon by selecting Remote, or select Local to configure the driver for local use. If Local is selected, the remaining prompts are not displayed.

Driver Password

For remote driver configuration only.

The driver object password is used by the Remote Loader to authenticate to the Identity Manager server. It must be the same password that is specified in the Driver Object Password field on the Identity Manager Remote Loader.

URL of the Remote Sungard Banner Server

Specify the URL for the remote Sungard Banner server.

Authentication ID

Specify the authentication ID for the remote Sungard Banner server.

Authentication Password

Specify the authentication password for the remote Sungard Banner server.

Proxy Host and Port

Specify the host address and the host port when a proxy host and port are used.

HTTP Errors to Retry

List the HTTP error codes that should return a retry status.

Customize HTTP Request-Header Fields

Select Show if you want to set mutual authentication information.

Listening IP Address and Port

Specify the IP address of the server where this driver is installed and the port number this driver listens on as an SPML server.

Require Authentication

The basic authentication scheme requires a user-ID and password.

Authentication ID for incoming SPML requests

Specify the authentication ID to validate incoming SPML requests.

Authentication Password for incoming SPML requests

Specify the authentication password to validate incoming SPML requests.

Accept HTTPS Connections

Indicates if the driver accepts HTTPS connections from Sungard Banner.

KMO Name

When the server is configured to accept HTTPS connections, this is the KMO name in eDirectory.

Keystore File

When the server is configured to accept HTTPS connections, this is the path and name of the keystore file.

Keystore Password

When the server is configured to accept HTTPS connections, this is the keystore file password.

Server Key Alias

When the server is configured to accept HTTPS connections, this is the key alias.

Server Key Password

When the server is configured to accept HTTPS connections, this is the key alias password, not the keystore password.

Content-Type

The HTTP request header is set to this value on publisher results that are sent back to the requester.

Heartbeat Interval in Minutes

Specify the heartbeat interval in minutes.
