System Environment

The Nsure Resources environment can include:

  • One HR system, either PeopleSoft or SAP

  • One messaging system, either Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Notes, or Novell GroupWise

  • One or more account systems and directories, including Windows NT, Microsoft Active Directory, and Novell eDirectory

Nsure Resources includes a set of preconfigured DirXML drivers for each of these systems to facilitate setup. To develop the configurations, Novell engineers examined the configurations of a number of customers who had already successfully implemented provisioning systems. Using this information, they configured the drivers to create a sample environment that ties together the HR, messaging, and account and directory systems to provide basic employee provisioning functionality as well as synchronization of user identity information across the systems.

Nsure Resources automates the propagation of data additions and modifications from the authoritative identity information sources to the other systems in the environment. All systems included in the laboratory environment either publish identity data to or receive data from the Workforce Tree repository via the DirXML Engine. DirXML brokers the exchange of data held in the Workforce Tree through preconfigured rules and style sheets that support the default business policies and processes.
