By default, the SAP Portal driver files are installed on the Metadirectory server at the same time as the Metadirectory engine. The installation program extends the Identity Vault’s schema and installs the driver shim and the driver configuration file. It does not create the driver in the Identity Vault (see Section 4.0, Creating and Configuring a New Driver Object) or upgrade an existing driver’s configuration (see Section 3.0, Upgrading an Existing Driver).
The SAP Portal driver must be located on the same server as the SAP NetWeaver server. If the driver is not on that server, you have the following options:
Install the Metadirectory server (Metadirectory engine and drivers) on the SAP NetWeaver server. See Installing Identity Manager
in the Identity Manager 4.0.1 Integrated Installation Guide.
Install the Remote Loader (required to run the driver on a non-Metadirectory server) and the SAP Portal driver files to the SAP NetWeaver server. This assumes that you already have a Metadirectory server installed on another server in your environment. See Installing the Remote Loader
in the Identity Manager 4.0.1 Remote Loader Guide.
