7.6 Starting the Sentinel Driver

After the Sentinel driver has been created and the collector has been started, you must start the Sentinel driver. Identity Manager is an event-driven system, so after the driver is started, it waits for events for events to occur.

IMPORTANT:The Identity Vault collector must be started before the driver is started. When the collector starts, the JNDI destinations are created. The driver looks for the JNDI destinations when it starts and if they do not exist, the driver cannot start. To start the collector, see Section 7.5, Starting the Collector.

To start the driver after the additional configuration is completed and the Identity Vault Collector is created:

  1. In Designer, open your project.

  2. In the Modeler, right-click the driver icon Driver icon or the driver line, then select Live > Start Driver.

For information about management tasks with the driver, see Section 10.0, Managing the Driver.

To verify that the collector and the driver are working properly:

  1. Create a user in iManager to use a test.

  2. Run the Identity Browser in the Sentinel RD server (via Control Center) and confirm that your user is found.

    If your user is not found, then turn on tracing on the Sentinel driver to see if there are any errors occurring, particularly at start time.

  3. At this point, you should be able to test Identity Tracking for all the drivers for which you have Account Tracking turned on.
