33.3 Creating the Role and Resource Service Driver

The User Application uses the Role and Resource Service Driver to manage back-end processing of resources. For example, it manages all resource requests, starts workflows for resource requests, and initiates the provisioning process for resource requests.

  1. Open your project in Designer.

  2. In the Modeler > Provisioning view, select Role Service in the palette.

  3. Drag the icon for Role Service onto the Modeler view.

  4. In the Driver Configuration Wizard, select Role and Resource Service Base, and then click Next.

  5. (Conditional) If this is the first driver you have installed in Designer, click OK to install the Common Settings Advanced Edition package.

    1. Specify the URL for the User Application server.

    2. Specify the eDirectory DN for the User Application Administrator.

    3. Specify the LDAP DN for the User Application Provisioning Service account. It can be the same account as your User Application Administrator or a different account.

      If a Role or Resource provisioning request is initiated by this service account, then any approvals or provisioning workflows associated with this role or resource are bypassed.

  6. (Optional) Specify the name of the driver.

  7. Click Next.

  8. In the User Application/Workflow Connection window, specify the User-Group base container DN and the User Application Driver that you just created.

    Since the driver has not yet been deployed, the browse function will not show the User Application Driver that you just configured. You might need to type the DN for the driver.

  9. Specify the URL for the User Application.

  10. Specify the LDAP DN of the User Application Administrator account

    The User Application Administrator account authenticates to the User Application in order to start the Approval Workflow. For more information, see Section 29.2, Create a User Application Administrator Account.

  11. Specify the password of the User Application Administrator account.

  12. Click Next.

  13. In the Confirm Installation Tasks window, click Finish.
