1.1.2 Subscriber Channel<br />

The Subscriber channel receives XDS command documents from the Metadirectory engine and calls<br />

the appropriate script or scripts to handle the command.<br />

The provided scripts must be customized to handle connected system events. For more in<strong>for</strong>mation<br />

see Chapter 5, “Customizing the <strong>Scripting</strong> <strong>Driver</strong>,” on page 35.<br />

1.1.3 Scriptable Framework<br />

The interface between the connected system and the driver shim uses customizable scripts. You<br />

must extend the scripts that are provided with the driver to support your connected system. Several<br />

utility scripts and helper commands are provided with the driver to facilitate communication with<br />

the driver shim and the change log. An extensible connected system schema file allows you to add<br />

your own objects and attributes to those already supported by the driver.<br />

For more in<strong>for</strong>mation about the scriptable framework, see Chapter 5, “Customizing the <strong>Scripting</strong><br />

<strong>Driver</strong>,” on page 35.<br />

1.1.4 Schema File<br />

The configuration of class and attribute definitions <strong>for</strong> the connected system is specified using the<br />

schema file. You can modify and extend this file to include new objects and attributes. For details<br />

about configuring the schema file, see Section 5.2, “The Connected System Schema File,” on<br />

page 38.<br />

1.1.5 Include/Exclude File<br />

The include/exclude file allows local system policy to en<strong>for</strong>ce which objects are included or<br />

excluded from provisioning, on both the Publisher channel and the Subscriber channel,<br />

independently. For details about using the include/exclude file, see Section 5.3, “The Connected<br />

System Include/Exclude File,” on page 40.<br />

1.1.6 Loopback State Files<br />

The loopback state files are used to provide automatic loopback detection <strong>for</strong> external applications<br />

that do not have mechanisms to per<strong>for</strong>m loopback detection. This loopback detection prevents<br />

subscribed events from being published back to the <strong>Identity</strong> Vault.<br />

1.2 Configuration Overview<br />

This section discusses driver configuration details specific to the <strong>Scripting</strong> driver. For basic<br />

configuration in<strong>for</strong>mation, see “Managing <strong>Identity</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> <strong>Driver</strong>s” in the <strong>Identity</strong> <strong>Manager</strong><br />
