5.3 Importing the Driver Configuration File in iManager

The Active Directory preconfiguration file is an example configuration file. You installed this file when you installed the Identity Manager Web components on an iManager server. You use the preconfiguration file as a template that you import and customize or configure for your environment.

  1. In iManager, select Identity Manager Utilities > Import Configuration.

  2. Select a driver set, then click Next.

    Selecting a Driver Set

    If you place this driver in a new driver set, you must specify a driver set name, context, and associated server.

  3. Select how you want the driver configurations sorted:

    • All configurations

    • Identity Manager 3.5 configurations

    • Identity Manager 3.0 configurations

    • Configurations not associated with an IDM version

  4. Select the Active Directory-IDM3_5_1-V1.xml driver, then click Next.

    Active Directory Driver

  5. Configure the driver by filling in the configuration parameters, then click Next. For information on the settings, see Section 5.4, Default Configuration Parameters.

  6. Define security equivalences, using a user object that has the rights that the driver needs to have on the server, then click OK.

    The tendency is to use the Admin user object for this task. However, you might want to create a DriversUser (for example) and assign security equivalence to that user. Whatever rights that the driver needs to have on the server, the DriversUser object must have the same security rights.

  7. Identify all objects that represent administrative roles and exclude them from replication, then click OK.

    Exclude the security-equivalence object (for example, DriversUser) that you specified in Step 6. If you delete the security-equivalence object, you have removed the rights from the driver, and the driver can’t make changes to Identity Manager.

  8. Click Finish.
