Installing the Driver Shim

You can install the Driver for eDirectory shim (along with other DirXML driver shims) at the same time that the DirXML engine is installed. See "Installation" in the Novell Nsure Identity Manager 2 Administration Guide.

IMPORTANT:  Because you are installing the driver on two separate eDirectory servers, you must complete procedures for each server.

You can also install the driver separately, after the DirXML engine is installed.This section assumes that you have already installed the DirXML engine (and, most likely, other drivers) on the server and need to install the eDirectory driver only.

During the installation, NdsToNds.jar is copied to the appropriate directory. The following table shows these locations per platform:

Operating System Directory

Linux* or Solaris*

/usr/lib/dirxml/classes

NetWare®

sys:system\lib

Windows NT*/2000

novell\nds\lib

After the installation program ends, configure security as explained in Configuring Secure Identity Manager Data Transfers.
