Novell Identity Manager (formerly DirXML®) is a key component of Novell's secure identity management solutions that enables universal data integration across technical and organizational boundaries, linking applications, data stores and network platforms, based on business policies.

What You Can Do

• Build drivers which implement the correct interfaces to write and receive data.
• Develop rules to map, match, create, place and transform elements.
• Develop style sheets to transform input and output data.

Build Drivers that Connect Disparate Data Stores

Novell Identity Manager (DirXML) Driver Kit - Write drivers to run on Linux*, NetWare®, NT*, and Solaris* and take advantage of the Novell Identity Manager features of Novell eDirectory™. Connect disparate directories (despite different naming conventions and schema definitions) using eDirectory and allow data to be automatically shared and synchronized across directories.

Scripting Driver Projects - Proved an easy framework to rapidly develop Identity Manager Drivers using native scripting languages on supported Linux, UNIX and Windows systems. The driver shim by default provides built in loopback detection, embedded remote loader, and the ability to script both the publisher and subscriber. Many sample projects have been developed for real applications.
