1.0 Understanding the Google Apps Driver

Identity Manager 4.0 and later offers automatic provisioning and synchronization of users to cloud applications. The new Google Apps Driver for Novell Identity Manager can seamlessly provision and de-provision users, groups, organizational units, and contacts to the Google Apps cloud application while keeping the user identity information consistent across the Identity Vault and the cloud application.

The Google Apps driver supports secure password synchronization between Identity Vault and Google Apps, and offers out-of-the box random password generation policy for the newly provisioned users. The driver uses a combination of language and protocols to enable identity provisioning and data synchronization between an Identity Vault and the driver.
