Creating a New Driver

The Entitlements Service driver files are installed on the Metadirectory server at the same time as
the Metadirectory engine. No other installation configurations are supported; you cannot use the
Remote Loader to run the Entitlements Service driver.
The installation program extends the Identity Vault's schema and installs both the driver shim and
the driver configuration file. It does not create the driver in the Identity Vault. You create the driver
by importing the driver configuration file and then modifying the driver configuration to suit your
environment. The following sections provide instructions:
Section 3.1, "Creating the Driver in Designer," on page 15
Section 3.2, "Creating the Driver in iManager," on page 17
Section 3.3, "Activating the Driver," on page 19

3.1 Creating the Driver in Designer

You create the Entitlements Service 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.

Section 3.1.2, "Configuring the Driver Settings," on page 16
Section 3.1.3, "Deploying the Driver," on page 16
Section 3.1.4, "Starting the Driver," on page 17
