3.2.2 Configuring the Driver Settings

There are many settings and policies that you use to configure and optimize the driver. The ones you
use depend on what you are trying to accomplish with the driver. The driver settings and policies are
explained in
After configuring the driver, it must be started. Continue with the next section,

3.2.3 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 iManager, click
2 Click Identity Manager Overview.
3 Browse to and select the driver set object that contains the driver you want to start.
4 Click the driver set name to access the Driver Set Overview page.
5 Click the upper right corner of the driver, then click Start driver.
For information about management tasks with the driver, see
page 29.

3.3 Activating the Driver

If you created the driver in a driver set where you've already activated the Metadirectory engine and
service drivers, the driver inherits the activation. If you created the driver in a driver set that has not
been activated, you must activate the driver within 90 days. Otherwise, the driver stops working.
