About This Guide

This guide provides information about the Identity Manager Loopback Service and Null Service

drivers. Service drivers are used only for Metadirectory engine functions, not for connecting with

external systems. They are automatically installed when you install Identity Manager.

The guide is organized as follows:

Chapter 1, “Overview,” on page 9

Chapter 2, “Creating a New Null Service Driver,” on page 11

Chapter 3, “Creating a New Loopback Service Driver,” on page 17

Chapter 4, “Upgrading an Existing Driver,” on page 23

Chapter 5, “Managing the Driver,” on page 25

Appendix A, “Driver Properties,” on page 27

Audience

This guide is intended for administrators, consultants, and network engineers who require a high-

level introduction to Identity Manager business solutions, technologies, and tools.

Documentation Updates

novdocx (en) 17 September 2009

Overview

novdocx (en) 17 September 2009

Overview

Novell®Identity Manager includes two utility drivers, Null Service and Loopback Service, whose

purpose is to implement custom behavior through policies established on the drivers’ Subscriber and

Publisher channels. Like other service drivers such as Entitlement and Workflow, the Null Service

and Loopback Service drivers do not connect to external applications or systems.

The Null Service driver performs any tasks that are implemented through policies on the Subscriber

channel. The Publisher channel is not used; the driver does not connect the Subscriber channel to the

Publisher channel, but rather acts as a sink for most operations, simulates doing something with

operations, and then returning success. Typical uses for the Null Service driver include the

following:

Adding the classes and attributes that you want to monitor for change in the Subscriber Filter as

Synchronize for the class and Notify for the attribute.

Adding Subscriber Event Transformation policies that react to specific object or attribute

changes, and performing actions such as:

Making modifications back into the Identity Vault (using actions that manipulate source

attributes and objects).

Sending e-mail.

Generating custom Audit Events.

Calling extension functions to communicate the change outside of Identity Manager.

Adding a final Subscriber Event Transformation policy that vetoes all events.

The Null Service driver should be sufficient for the majority of the tasks you’ll want to perform.

However, if you need to process policies on both the Subscriber and Publisher channels, you can use

the Loopback Service driver instead. The only difference between the two drivers is that the

Loopback driver’s Subscriber channel connects to the Publisher channel so that events can also be

processed on the Publisher channel.
