By default, the JDBC driver files are installed on the Metadirectory server at the same time as the Metadirectory engine. The installation program extends the Identity Vault’s schema and installs the driver shim and a driver configuration file. It does not create the driver in the Identity Vault (see Section 5.0, Importing an Example JDBC Configuration File) or upgrade an existing driver’s configuration (see Section 4.0, Upgrading an Existing Driver).
The JDBC driver must be located on the same server as the JDBC database. The following sections explain what to do if the JDBC driver files are not on the JDBC database server and how to install the third-party JDBC jar files that the driver uses to communicate with the database:
For information about uninstalling the driver, see Section A.0, Uninstalling the Driver.
