Upgrading the Driver Configuration

Installing the driver shim does not change your existing configuration. Your existing configuration will continue to work with the new driver shim.

However, if you want to take advantage of the new features, you must upgrade your driver configuration, either by replacing your driver configuration with the new sample configuration or by converting your existing to configuration to Identity Manager 2 format and adding policies to it.

• To replace your existing configuration, import the new sample configuration for your existing driver objects.

  The sample configuration contains all the new features, such as support for Identity Manager Password Synchronization and Role-Based Entitlements.

• To convert an existing driver configuration so that you can edit it with the new Identity Manager plug-ins, see "Upgrading a Driver Configuration from DirXML 1.x to Identity Manager Format" in Novell Nsure Identity Manager 2 Administration Guide.
• To add Identity Manager Password Synchronization functionality to an existing driver configuration, see "Upgrading Existing Driver Configurations to Support Identity Manager Password Synchronization" in Novell Nsure Identity Manager 2 Administration Guide.

  The new policies for password synchronization are intended to support Universal Password and Distribution Password. If you are planning to synchronize only the NDS Password, these policies should not be added to the driver configuration. NDS Password is synchronized using Public Key and Private Key attributes instead of these policies.

IMPORTANT:  Because you are upgrading the driver on two separate eDirectory servers, you must complete the upgrade procedures for each server.
