17.6 Configuring Identity Manager Drivers to Work with the Remote Loader

You can configure a new driver or enable an existing driver to communicate with the Remote Loader. You must set up an Identity Manager application shim for use with the Remote Loader.

NOTE:This section provides general information on configuring drivers so that they communicate with the Remote Loader. For driver-specific information, refer to the relevant driver implementation guide at the Identity Manager Driver documentation website.

To add a new or modify an existing Driver object in either Designer or iManager, you must configure settings that enable the driver instance for the Remote Loader. For more information about the parameters used in this section, see Understanding the Configuration Parameters for the Remote Loader.

  1. From Overview, select the Identity Manager Driver object.

  2. In the properties of the Driver object, complete the following steps:

    1. For Driver Module, select Connect to Remote Loader.

    2. For Driver Object Password, specify the password that the Remote Loader uses to authenticate itself to the Identity Manager engine server.

      This password must match the password for the driver object defined in the Remote Loader.

    3. For Remote Loader Connection Parameters, specify the information required to connect to the Remote Loader. Use the following syntax:

      hostname=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port=xxxx kmo=certificatename localaddress=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

      where

      hostname

      Specifies the IP address for the server that hosts the Remote Loader. For example, hostname=192.168.0.1.

      port

      Specifies the port that the Remote Loader listens on. The default is 8090.

      kmo

      Specifies the key name of the Key Material Object containing the keys and certificate used for SSL connections. For example, kmo=remotecert.

      localaddress

      Specifies the source IP address if more than one IP addresses are configured on the server that hosts the Identity Manager engine.

    4. For Remote Loader Password, specify the password required for the Identity Manager engine (or Remote Loader shim) to authenticate to the Remote Loader.

  3. Define a security-equivalent user.
