3.5 Creating a Driver

Drivers connect the applications to the Identity Vault and provide the means for the data to synchronize. To create a driver, select an application from the palette, then drag and drop it on the Modeler. The application is connected to the closet driver set and the Driver Configuration Wizard launches.

Figure 3-13 Driver Configuration Wizard

The purpose of the Driver Configuration Wizard is to help you install drivers. In the past, that meant walking through the import of a driver configuration file. Now, the Driver Configuration Wizard walks you through installing packages or driver configuration files. However, only packages contain new driver content. The driver configuration files are not updated from this point on.

To create a driver with packages, select the available base package listed. If there are no packages listed, then the packages are not imported into the package catalog. For more information about importing and installing packages, see Section 6.2, Installing or Upgrading Packages.

To create a driver with a driver configuration file, click Import Driver Configuration. All of the driver configurations files for the version of your Identity Manager server are listed. For more information about importing a driver configuration file, see Section 12.4, Importing a Driver Configuration File.
