4.3 Configuration Parameters

The following table explains the parameters you must provide during initial driver configuration.

There are options in the driver configuration that add policies to the driver to allow additional functionality. If you are not sure you need these options now, but you might want them in the future, it is better to select them now. After the driver is created, these options are enabled or disabled through global configuration values on the driver. Trying to properly add policy sets from the default driver configuration to an existing driver after is it configured is a complex process.

IMPORTANT:Selecting options during the configuration of the driver parameters does not enable the functionality. After the driver is imported, the global configuration values must be modified to enable the functionality of the selection. See Section 4.5, Modifying Global Configuration Values for more information.

Some parameters are displayed only if the answer to a previous prompt requires more information to properly configure the policy.

Table 4-1 Driver Configuration Parameters

Field

Description

Driver name

The default value is GroupWise. Specify the name you want for the driver.

Enable Entitlements

There are two options, Yes or No.

The GroupWise driver uses entitlements to manage user accounts and distribution list membership in GroupWise. Entitlements work in conjunction with external services such as the Identity Manager User Application or Role-Based Entitlements. These external services control provisioning to GroupWise. See Creating and Using Entitlements in the Novell Identity Manager 3.5.1 Administration Guide.

IMPORTANT:After the driver is imported, review Section 4.4, Viewing Driver Parameters and Section 4.5, Modifying Global Configuration Values for additional configuration options.

Default Post Office

Examples:

Novell\GroupWise\PO (slash)

PO.GroupWise.Novell (dot)
