DirXML® must be activated within 90 days of installation or it will shut down. At any time during the 90 days, or afterward, you can choose to activate your DirXML product to a fully licensed state. For more information about completing activation tasks, refer to Activating Your DirXML Product.

For installation instructions, refer to the DirXML Administration Guide, located at http://www.novell.com/documentation/lg/dirxml11a/ or in the DOCUMENTATION directory on the product CD or download.
To view product license agreements in your preferred language, refer to the LICENSE directory at root of the product CD or download.
- Novell® eDirectory™ 8.6.2 or higher.
- Novell iManager 1.5 or ConsoleOne® 1.3.3 or higher.
- NetWare® 6 or NetWare 5.1 with the latest Support Pack.
- JVM* 1.3.1_01
If you use Novell iManager 1.5 to administer User objects and you also use the DirXML Driver for GroupWise (or if you have used it in the past), you should refer to TID #NOVL82926 at http://support.novell.com and download the patch for iManager. The patch is necessary for maintaining correct Group Lists, GroupWise PO memberships, and GroupWise Distribution Lists.
If you don't download the patch, you will experience errors after you view
Group Memberships on a User object. If you select any other tabs from the
Modify Object task after viewing Group Memberships (such as Login Script,
See Also, or Postal Address), you will see a message indicating that the
GroupWise Post Office DN is not a group. You cannot exit iManager until
you delete the offending DN. If you delete the offending DN, the User's
association with his or her post office and distribution lists will be lost.
Due to limitations of the Netscape browser, you cannot administer DirXML with iManager. This will be fixed in a future release.
-The DirXML Driver for eDirectory will not start even though the DirXML
installation succeeded. You might see the following errors in the system
console when you try to start the driver: "Symbol already defined:
Java_novell_jclient_JClient_…", "Symbol already defined:
Java_novell_jclient_NWFile_…", or "Error Processing Public
Records." You should copy the new JCLIENT.JAR from SYS:\JAVA\LIB to
SYS:\NI\UPDATE\LIB.
If you create passwords that contain extended foreign characters such as accented or double-byte characters, we recommend that you manage passwords from one client. If you are using both ConsoleOne and iManager, you might have problems authenticating to one client if you created your password in the other system. Each client handles extended characters differently and submits different hash values to eDirectory.
If you need to create passwords in both clients, you should restrict passwords to the lower 128 ASCII characters.
NCP packet signatures determine the level of enhanced security support. Enhanced security includes the use of a message digest algorithm and a per connection/per request session state. The values are as follows: 0=disabled, 1=enabled but not preferred, 2=preferred, and 3=required. Setting this parameter to 2 or 3 increases security, but decreases performance.
When running the installation program from a non-CD source, NetWare uses an 8.3 file-naming convention. If the installation directory path contains a long name, the path gets truncated, and you might encounter the following symptoms during installation: failure to open source files, failure to extend the schema, or failure to update the ConsoleOne snap-ins.
To resolve this, you should change the directory path name to an 8.3 file
format (for example, from sys:install/dirxml_final_11a to sys:install/dirxml11)
