1.2 Driver Features

1.2.2 Remote Platforms

The driver supports remote connections without the Remote Loader. The driver does not use the Remote Loader because the driver in one tree communicates directly with the driver in the other tree.

1.2.3 Entitlements

The basic driver configuration supports entitlements. When entitlements are enabled, the driver does the following actions by default:

  • Adds User object accounts

  • Removes User object accounts

  • Adds members of the distribution list

  • Removes members of the distribution list

The driver support entitlements you create if supporting policies are provided for implementing them. For more information about entitlements, see the OpenText™ Identity Manager Entitlements Guide.

IMPORTANT:In the driver filter, select the Application option in Merge Authority for the loginDisabled attribute in the driver that does not have an entitlement.

1.2.4 Password Synchronization

The driver supports password synchronization via Universal Password. If desired, you can also use the older form of password synchronization (Public/Private key pair or NDS password). For more information, see Section 6.0, Synchronizing Passwords.

1.2.5 Synchronizing Data

The driver synchronizes data between two Identity Vaults or trees. The driver can run anywhere that an OpenText Identity Manager server is running.
