You create the for Avaya PBX driver by importing the driver’s basic configuration file and then modifying the configuration to suit your environment. After you’ve created and configured the driver, you need to deploy it to the Identity Vault and start it.
In Designer, open your project.
In the Modeler, right-click the driver set where you want to create the driver, then select
> to display the Driver Configuration Wizard.In the Driver Configuration list, select
, then click .On the Import Information Requested page, fill in the following fields:
Driver Name: Specify a name that is unique within the driver set.
Driver is Local/Remote: Select
if this driver will run on the Metadirectory server without using the Remote Loader service. Select if you want the driver to use the Remote Loader service, either locally on the Metadirectory server or remotely on another server.(Conditional) If you chose to run the driver remotely, click Step 6.
, then fill in the fields listed below. Otherwise, skip toRemote Host Name and Port: Specify the host name or IP address of the server where the driver’s Remote Loader service is running.
Driver Password: Specify the driver object password that is defined in the Remote Loader service. The Remote Loader requires this password to authenticate to the Metadirectory server.
Remote Password: Specify the Remote Loader’s password (as defined on the Remote Loader service). The Metadirectory engine (or Remote Loader shim) requires this password to authenticate to the Remote Loader
Click
to import the driver configuration.At this point, the driver is created from the basic configuration file. To ensure that the driver works the way you want it to for your environment, you must review and modify the driver’s default configuration settings.
To review or modify the default configuration settings, click Configuring the Driver.
, then continue with the next section,or
To skip the configuration settings at this time, click Configuring the Driver.
. When you are ready to configure the settings, continue withThere are many settings that can help you customize and optimize the driver. The settings are divided into categories such as Driver Configuration, Engine Control Values, and Global Configuration Values (GCVs). Although it is important for you to understand all of the settings, your first priority should be to review the Driver Parameters located on the Driver Configuration page and the Global Configuration Values. These settings must be configured properly for the driver to start and function correctly.
If you do not have the Driver Properties page displayed in Designer:
Open your project.
In the Modeler, right-click the driver icon or the driver line, then select
.In addition to the driver settings, you need to modify the default policies provided by the basic driver configuration. Review the information in the following sections to help with the policies:
Creating a robust test environment can be a challenge because the only PBX available in an environment might be the production PBX. To solve this problem, the Avaya PBX driver provides emulation capabilities. For an explanation of these capabilities, see What Is Emulation Mode and Why Should I Use it?.
To set up emulation:
Configure the Emulation options on the driver parameters. For instructions, see Section A.1.5, Driver Parameters.
Modify the PBX Site object to change the Access Type to
or . You must do this in iManager:In iManager, click the
icon to display the Identity Vault tree.Open the PBX Site container.
Open the PBX Site object.
In the
list, select or .Click
to save your changes.After you configure the emulation settings, you must deploy the driver to the Identity Vault before you can test it. Continue with the next section, Deploying the Driver.
After a driver is created and configured in Designer, it must be deployed into the Identity Vault.
In Designer, open your project.
In the Modeler, right-click the driver icon or the driver line, then select
.If you are authenticated to the Identity Vault, skip to Step 5; otherwise, specify the following information:
Host: Specify the IP address or DNS name of the server hosting the Identity Vault.
Username: Specify the DN of the user object used to authenticate to the Identity Vault.
Password: Specify the user’s password.
Click
.Read the deployment summary, then click
.Read the message, then click
.Click
to assign rights to the driver.The driver requires rights to objects within the Identity Vault. The Admin user object is most often used to supply these rights. 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.
Click
, then browse to and select the object with the correct rights.Click
twice.Click
to exclude users that should not be synchronized.You should exclude any administrative User objects (for example, Admin and DriversUser) from synchronization.
Click
.When a driver is created, it is stopped by default. To make the driver work, you must start the driver and cause events to occur. Identity Manager is an event-driven system, so after the driver is started, it won’t do anything until an event occurs.
To start the driver:
In Designer, open your project.
In the Modeler, right-click the driver icon or the driver line, then select
.For information about management tasks with the driver, see Section 9.0, Managing the Driver.
