  • Enable the driver to support entitlements

The driver must be configured to listen for entitlement events. You enable the driver by modifying the driver filter to add the DirXML-EntitlementRef attribute to the User class.

The following drivers are already enabled for entitlements. You do not need to complete this task for these drivers:

  • Active Directory

  • GroupWise

  • LDAP

  • Linux and UNIX

  • Lotus Notes

  • RACF

For enablement instructions, see Section 3.0, Enabling Entitlements on a Driver.
