12.1 Installing License Auditing Tool

You can install the License Auditing Tool on a Windows or Linux machine. After it is installed, the License Auditing Tool can audit the associations of a specified eDirectory server.

12.1.1 Installing on Windows

The Identity Manager installation routine installs the License Auditing Tool on Windows by default. If you deselected the Utilities check box during the Identity Manager installation, you need to install the License Auditing Tool separately.

  1. Launch the Identity Manager install (install.exe) utility.

    Proceed through the installation routine as usual until you get to the Please Select Components to Install page.

  2. Select Utilities, then click Next.

  3. Specify an installation path, then click Next.

    The default location is C:\Novell\NDS\DirXMLUtilities.

  4. Select the utilities that you want to install, then click Next.

    Make sure License Auditing Tool is selected.

  5. On the Installation Summary page, click Finish to install the selected utilities.

  6. On the Installation Complete page, click Close.

    The License Auditing Tool is now installed.

The License Auditing Tool consists of four .jar files (AuditMain.jar, forms_rt.jar, ldap.jar, and ObjDisabler.jar) and two .bat files (idmadt.bat and idmlat.bat.) On the Identity Manager CD-ROM or image file, these files are located at \nt\dirxml\utilities\idm_lat.

12.1.2 Installing on Linux

Although the License Auditing Tool is available for Linux/UNIX platforms, it is not installed as part of the Installation routine. To install the License Auditing Tool, complete the following steps:

  1. Locate the License Auditing Tool files on the Identity Manager CD-ROM or in the image file.

    The License Auditing Tool files are located in /linux/setup/utilities/idm_lat.

  2. Copy the following files to the Linux/UNIX file system:

    • AuditMain.jar

    • forms_rt.jar

    • ldap.jar

    • ObjDisabler.jar

    • idmadt

    • idmlat
