Starting The Driver; Creating The Driver In Imanager; Importing The Driver Configuration File - Novell IDENTITY MANAGER ENTITLEMENTS SERVICE DRIVER 3.6.1 - IMPLEMENTATION Implementation Manual

3.1.4 Starting the Driver

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:
1 In Designer, open your project.
2 In the Modeler, right-click the driver icon
For information about management tasks for the driver, see
page 29.

3.2 Creating the Driver in iManager

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 start it.
