The following sections provide information about how the SAP User driver supports these standard driver features:
A local installation is an installation of the driver on the same server as the Metadirectory engine, Identity Vault, and SAP User application. Both systems that the driver needs to communicate with (Metadirectory engine and SAP User application) are local to the driver.
The SAP User driver can be installed on the same operating systems supported by the Metadirectory server. For information about the operating systems supported by the Metadirectory server, see System Requirements
in the Identity Manager 4.0.1 Integrated Installation Guide.
The SAP User driver must reside on the same server as the SAP User application. If you don’t want to install the Metadirectory engine and Identity Vault (eDirectory) on the SAP server, you can use the Remote Loader service to run the driver on the SAP server while having the Metadirectory engine and Identity Vault on another server.
The SAP User driver can be installed on the same operating systems supported by the Remote Loader. For information about the operating systems supported by the Remote Loader, see System Requirements
in the Identity Manager 4.0.1 Integrated Installation Guide.
The SAP User driver does not have entitlement functionality defined with the default configuration file. The driver does support entitlements, if there are policies created for the driver to consume.
The SAP User driver supports account tracking that is a feature of the Novell Compliance Management Platform. For more information, see the Novell Compliance Management Platform Web site.
The SAP User driver supports the Roles Mapping Administrator that comes with Identity Manager. For more information, see the Identity Manager Role Mapping Administrator 4.0.1 Installation and Configuration Guide.
