Novell Doc: Identity Manager Drivers - Installing the Driver Shim

2.4 Installing the Driver Shim

You can install the Identity Manager Driver for eDirectory shim (along with other Identity Manager drivers) at the same time that the Metadirectory engine is installed.

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

If you don’t have a CD, download the file that you need for your platform (for example, Identity_Manager_3_Linux_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 4.2, Configuring Secure Identity Manager Data Transfers.

Insert the Identity Manager CD and mount it.

Typically, the CD is automatically mounted. The following table lists examples for manually mounting the CD. The actual commands that you enter depend on how your system is configured and the operating system:

Solaris	mount /cdrom , then press Enter
SUSE®	mount /media/cdrom , then press Enter, or mount /media/dvd, then press Enter

Change to the setup directory.

For example, change to mount point/ platform/ setup
- moun t point is wherever the cd/dvd is mounted.
