Customizing the Driver

6
After you create a new WorkOrder driver by importing the basic configuration file, the driver
processes WorkOrder objects from the Identity Vault to create WorkToDo objects. This is all the
WorkOrder driver does when using the basic configuration. For any additional work to be done, you
must customize the WorkOrder driver or other Identity Manager drivers to perform the desired
work.
The following section describes how the policies and rules are set up in the basic configuration:
