2.3 Upgrading a Driver Configuration from DirXML 1.1a to Identity Manager 3.5.1 Format

The supported upgrade path from DirXML 1.1a is to install Identity Manager 3.5.1. The Identity Manager 3.5.1 installation installs new driver shims, but it does not change existing driver objects or driver configurations.

Existing driver configurations that were created for DirXML 1.1a continue to run with Identity Manager. However, the Identity Manager plug-ins let you edit only drivers that are in the Identity Manager 3.5.1 format.

IMPORTANT:Running an Identity Manager driver shim or driver configuration with a DirXML 1.1a engine is not supported.

A wizard is provided to help you convert DirXML 1.1a drivers to the Identity Manager format.

To start the wizard:

  1. In iManager, click Identity Manager > Identity Manager Overview.

  2. Select the driver set that contains the driver you want to convert, then click Search.

  3. Click the icon for the driver you want to convert.

  4. Read the message that is displayed, then click OK.

    Do you want to convert the driver to the new architecture?

  5. If there is more than one driver to upgrade, repeat Step 2 through Step 4.
