You can configure the driver on Windows through a graphical utility called the Remote Loader Console utility or from the command line.
The Remote Loader Console utility enables you to manage all Remote Loader instances for Identity Manager drivers running on the Windows server. The utility is installed during the installation of Identity Manager.
If you are upgrading, the Console detects and imports existing instances of the Remote Loader. (To be automatically imported, driver configurations must be stored in the Remote Loader directory, typically c:\novell\remoteloader.) You can then use the Console to manage the remote drivers.
Double-click the
icon on the desktop to launch the Remote Loader Console.The Remote Loader Console allows you to start, stop, add, remove, and edit each instance of a Remote Loader.
Click
to add a Remote Loader instance of your driver on this server.Use the information in the following table to configure the Remote Loader instance for your driver.
Headings |
Description |
---|---|
Description |
Specify a description to identify the Remote Loader instance in the Remote Loader Console utility. |
Driver |
Select the Java class name for the driver. If you are using the Active Directory driver, select Table 3-3 contains a list of all of the Java class names for each driver. . |
Config File |
Specify the name of the configuration file. The Remote Loader Console places configuration parameters into this text file and uses those parameters when it runs. |
Communications |
NOTE:By specifying different connection ports and command ports, you can run multiple instances of the Remote Loader on the same server, hosting different driver instances. |
Remote Loader Password |
Specify the Remote Loader password. This password is used to control access to a Remote Loader instance for a driver. It must be the same case-sensitive password specified in the field on the Identity Manager driver configuration page. It is important that this password be difficult to guess and be different from the driver object password. |
Driver Object Password |
Specify the Driver Object password. The Remote Loader uses this password to authenticate to the Metadirectory server. It must be the same case-sensitive password specified in the field on the Identity Manager driver configuration page. It is important that this password be difficult to guess and be different from the Remote Loader password. |
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) |
|
Trace File |
NOTE:Use the tracing options only for troubleshooting issues. Having the tracing enabled reduces the performance of the Remote Loader. Do not leave the tracing enabled in production. |
Establish a Remote Loader service for this driver instance |
Select this option if you want the Remote Loader established as a service. When this option is enabled, the operating system automatically starts the Remote Loader when the computer starts. |
Specify the advanced configuration parameters. To do so:
Click Advanced to display the Advanced Configuration dialog box.
Modify the following settings as desired.
Parameter |
Description |
---|---|
Classpath |
Additional paths for the JVM to search for package (.jar) and class (.class) files. Using this parameter is the same as using the java -classpath command. When entering multiple class paths, separate them with a semicolon (;) for a Windows JVM and a colon (:) for a UNIX/Linux JVM. |
JVM Options |
The options used when starting the JVM instance of the driver. |
Heap size |
The initial and maximum heap size for the JVM instance. |
