You can use the native Remote Loader available with DirXML 1.1a Driver or you can use a Java Remote Loader. To configure the remote loaders, refer:
The Remote Loader and Driver passwords are the same as the ones entered in the Authentication and the Driver Object Password tabs.
IMPORTANT: During the Publisher channel invocation for FILES/NIS/NIS+, several files are created in the driver directory (for example, in the Remote Loader directory for a Remote Loader setup).
If the driver is running on the machine hosting eDirectory, the files are created in /var/nds/dib directory.
These are large files, so ensure that you have enough disk space.
Install the DirXML 1.1a Remote Loader on the application platform.
This installs the binary /usr/bin/rdxml (native Remote Loader). The application platform is the machine with the Files, NIS, or NIS+ databases.
Create a directory on the application platform from where you want to execute the native Remote Loader.
Create a configuration file with the class name com.novell.nds.dirxml.driver.nisdriver.NISDriverShim.
Set the Driver Object and Remote Loader passwords with the following command:
rdxml -config <file-name> -sp <remote-loader-password> <driver password>
Start the native Remote Loader with the following command:
rdxml -config <file-name>
NOTE: Ensure that there is only a single space between the string -class and the class name in the config file.
For more information on configuring the Native Remote Loader, refer to the DirXML 1.1a Administration Guide.
If a Java Remote Loader is used, ensure that a java 1.3 JDK/JRE is available on the disk.
Extract the files from the RemoteLoader.tar file (for example, tar xvf RemoteLoader.tar).
Create a configuration file with the class name com.novell.nds.dirxml.driver.nisdriver.NISDriverShim.
Copy the NDS2NIS.jar file from the /usr/lib/dirxml/classes directory to the RemoteLoader/lib directory.
Set the Driver Object and Remote Loader passwords with the following command:
./dirxml_jremote -config <file-name> -sp <remote-loader- password> <driver-password>
Start the Remote Driver with the following command:
./dirxml_jremote -config <file-name>
NOTE: Ensure that there is only a single space between the string -class and the class name in the config file.
