    • Delegate to Identity Manager: If you want to delegate the password check-in process to Identity Manager, select Delegate to Identity manager. On selecting this option, the IDM (Identity Manager) driver for Privileged Account Manager takes care of generating random password and synchronizing the password to IDM.

For more information, refer the Driver Implementation guide on the PAM documentation page.
