2.3 Installing the Driver

This section assumes that you have already installed the Metadirectory engine (and, most likely, other drivers) on the server and need to install only the eDirectory driver. For information on installing the Metadirectory engine, see Installing Identity Manager in the Identity Manager 3.5.1 Installation Guide .

Typically, an Identity Manager installation installs all drivers, including the eDirectory driver, at the same time that the Metadirectory engine is installed. If the eDirectory driver wasn’t installed at that time, you can install the driver separately. The schema won’t be extended during this driver install because the Identity Manager installation already extended it when the Metadirectory engine was installed.

If you don’t have a CD, download the file that you need for your platform (for example, Identity_Manager_3_5_1_NW_Win.iso) and create one. Downloads are available from Novell Downloads.

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

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

Operating System

Directory

Linux*, Solaris*, or AIX*

/usr/lib/dirxml/classes (For eDirectory 8.8: opt/novell/eDirectory/lib/dirxml/classes)

NetWare®

sys:system\lib

Windows* NT*/2000

The default is novell\nds, but you can specify any directory.

After the installation program ends, configure security as explained in Section 5.1, Configuring Secure Identity Manager Data Transfers.
