Account Management 3.0

Account Management 3.0.2 Update Instructions

These instructions are for installing Account Management 3.0.2 (also known as Support Pack 2) to existing Account Management 3.0 systems.

Novell® Account Management 3.0.2 includes all of the changes introduced with Support Pack 1. You do not need to install Support Pack 1 before you upgrade to Account Management 3.0.2.

First-Time Installation: If you are installing Account Management 3.0 for the first time, you can disregard this document. Instead, follow the installation procedures outlined in the Quick Start guides for installation and configuration of Account Management.

Upgrading Platform Services for Windows

Before beginning the upgrade process, review "Administering Platform Services for Windows" in Platform Services Administration Guide.

If you have not installed Account Management to the default location, adjust the pathnames shown accordingly.

  1. Ensure that the Platform Services Process and Platform Receiver are not running.
    Use the Windows* Control Panel Services utility. Their service names are "ASAM Platform Services Process" and "ASAM Platform Receiver". If the Platform Receiver is running from a command prompt, use Ctrl+c.
  2. With your Web browser, open readme.html from the root of the Account Management 3.0.2 distribution.
  3. Using the link in readme.html, retrieve the Account Management 3.0.2 Platform Services self-extracting archive program for Windows. You can also obtain the self-extracting archive program from the File Distribution in the Web interface if the Manager has already been updated.
  4. Run the self-extracting archive program and respond to the prompts.
  5. Review the updated Receiver Scripts in the subdirectories of c:\novell\asam\bin\platformservices\platformreceiver\scripts for any changes that should be made to your own Receiver Scripts. Receiver Scripts are run from the c:\novell\asam\bin\platformservices\platformreceiver\scripts directory.
  6. Review the contents of the Attribute Name Mapping file c:\novell\asam\data\attrmap.conf (new with Support Pack 1, unchanged in Account Management 3.0.2).
  7. Reboot.
  8. If you develop programs that use the AS Client API, update its files as follows:
    1. If you develop API applications using C, copy ascauth.h and ascauth.lib from bin\platformservices\platformclient to places appropriate for your development.
    2. If you develop API Applications using Java*, copy jascauth.jar from bin\platformservices\platformclient\java to a place appropriate for your development.
    3. If you develop API applications using the ActiveX* control AscAuthX, run bin\platformservices\platformclient\ascauthx\setup.exe.
