10.2.2 New Drivers
The following new drivers are included with Identity Manager 4.0.1:
 “SharePoint Driver (.NET Remote Loader)” on page 85
 “Salesforce.com Driver” on page 85
SharePoint Driver (.NET Remote Loader)
The SharePoint driver for Novell Identity Manager enables user and group membership events to be
synchronized between the Identity Vault and a SharePoint 2007 or SharePoint 2010 site collection. A
single driver can process these events for a single site collection, which maintains user and group
membership information for one or more SharePoint sites. For more information, see the Identity
Manager 4.0.1 Driver for SharePoint Implementation Guide.
Salesforce.com Driver
Identity Manager 4.0.1 offers automatic provisioning and synchronization of users to cloud
applications. The new Salesforce.com driver for Novell Identity Manager can seamlessly provision
and deprovision users to a Salesforce.com cloud application, which ensures that user identity
information is consistent between the Identity Vault and the cloud application. The Salesforce.com
driver also supports secure password synchronization between Identity Vault and Salesforce.com
cloud and supports an authenticated proxy server and configurable user profile for automatic user
provisioning. For more information, see the Identity Manager 4.0.1 Driver for Salesforce.com
Implementation Guide.
10.2.3 Support for XDAS Auditing Included
Identity Manager 4.0.1 supports XDAS-based auditing that augments the auditing capabilities of the
Novell Audit Platform Agent. It is uses common XDAS schema for Identity Manager, NMAS,
eDirectory and the Role Mapping Administrator. The new auditing service also supports the syslog
and file appenders. For more information, see the Identity Reporting Module Guide and the Identity
Manager 4.0.1 Reporting Guide for Novell Sentinel.
10.2.4 Packages Replace Driver Configuration Files
Identity Manager 4.0.1 introduces packages, which contain high-quality building blocks of Identity
Manager policy content. Packages are now used to create drivers instead of using driver
configuration files. For more information, see “Managing Packages” in the Designer 4.0.1 for Identity
Manager 4.0.1 Administration Guide.
10.2.5 Role Mapping Administrator
The Role Mapping Administrator is a new tool that analyzes the authorizations or permissions that
can be grated in your IT systems, and allows you to grant those authorizations or permissions. The
authorizations and permissions can be grated by a business analyst, not just IT staff or consultants.
For more information, see the Novell Identity Manager Role Mapping Administrator 4.0.1 User Guide.
