Upgrading

In this section:


Upgrading the Driver Shim

The new driver shim replaces the previous driver shim but keeps the previous driver's configuration. The new driver shim can run the DirXML 1.x configuration with no changes.

  1. Make sure you have updated your driver with all the patches for the version you are currently running.

    We recommend this step for all drivers, to help minimize upgrade issues.

  2. Install the new driver shim. You can do this at the same time that you install the engine, or you can do it after the engine is installed.

    Follow the instructions in "Installation" in the Novell Nsure Identity Manager 2 Administration Guide.

    注:  Running an Identity Manager driver shim or configuration with the DirXML 1.x engine is not supported.

  3. After the shim is installed, eDirectory and the driver need to be restarted. Follow the instructions in "Starting, Stopping, or Restarting a Driver" in the Novell Nsure Identity Manager 2 Administration Guide.

  4. Activate the driver shim with your Identity Manager activation credentials.

    See Activating the Driver.

After you install the driver shim, you can continue with Upgrading the Driver Configuration.


Upgrading the Driver Configuration

A DirXML 1.x driver configuration can be run with an Identity Manager driver shim and the new DirXML engine, with no changes to the driver configuration.

However, to edit a DirXML 1.x driver configuration, you must either use the DirXML 1.x iManager plug-ins or ConsoleOne(R), or run the wizard that converts DirXML 1.x configurations to Identity Manager format so you can edit the configuration using the iManager plug-ins for Identity Manager. See "Managing DirXML 1.x Drivers in an Identity Manager Environment" and "Upgrading a Driver Configuration from DirXML 1.x to Identity Manager Format" in the Novell Nsure Identity Manager 2 Administration Guide.

To take advantage of the features of Identity Manager, review the sample configuration provided, and see the Novell Nsure Identity Manager 2 Administration Guide for information about new features.

If you are upgrading from the DirXML Driver 1.0 for Exchange, you need to install and run the Normalize Exchange Associations utility. See Running the Normalize Exchange Associations Utility.

注:  Running an Identity Manager driver configuration with a DirXML 1.x driver shim is not supported.
