3.5 Extending the Schema for Identity Manager

You must extend the schema if you want to use the Identity Vault to manage connected system attributes that are not already mapped to standard eDirectory™ attributes. Otherwise, it is not necessary.

NOTE:If you are running the Identity Manager 4.0.2 Metadirectory engine and you selected the ACF2 driver during that installation, the schema definitions were added at that time and you do not need to complete this task.

Extending the schema adds auxiliary classes to eDirectory User objects for ACF2 user attributes.

  1. In iManager, select the Extend Schema task under Schema.

  2. Select Import data from file on disk, then click Next.

  3. Select a file type of Schema File.

  4. Type or browse for acf2.sch as the file to import, then click Next.

  5. Specify the host name or IP address and the LDAP port number of your Metadirectory server.

    To connect to the non-secure LDAP port (389), you must have the Require TLS for Simple Binds with Password option disabled on your LDAP Group. If necessary, you can edit this option using the LDAP Options task under LDAP in iManager. For details, see the Novell eDirectory Administration Guide.

  6. Select Authenticated login and log in as Admin or another user with rights to extend the schema.

  7. Click Next to go to the summary.

  8. Click Finish to extend the schema.
