Configuring the Remote Loader

You can use the Java Remote Loader or the native Remote Loader available with Identity Manager 2.0. To configure the remote loaders, refer:

To use the remote loader, ensure that the driver is already installed on the machine that you are using.

The Remote Loader and Driver passwords are the same as the ones specified in the Authentication and the Driver Object Password tabs.

重要:  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 temporary files and will contain information about the processed/synchronized users and groups by the driver.

These are large files, so ensure that you have enough disk space.


Configuring the Native Remote Loader

  1. Install the Identity Manager 2.0 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.

  2. Create a directory on the application platform from where you want to execute the native Remote Loader.

  3. Create a configuration file with the class name com.novell.nds.dirxml.driver.nisdriver.NISDriverShim.

  4. Set the Driver Object and Remote Loader passwords with the following command:

    rdxml -config <file-name> -sp <remote-loader-password> <driver password>

  5. Start the native Remote Loader with the following command:

    rdxml -config <file-name>

注:  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 Administration guide.


Configuring the Java Remote Loader

If a Java Remote Loader is used, ensure that a java 1.4 JDK/JRE is available on the disk.

  1. Extract the files from the RemoteLoader.tar file (for example, tar xvf RemoteLoader.tar).

  2. Create a configuration file with the class name com.novell.nds.dirxml.driver.nisdriver.NISDriverShim.

  3. Copy the NDS2NIS.jar file from the /usr/lib/dirxml/classes directory to the RemoteLoader/lib directory.

  4. Set the Driver Object and Remote Loader passwords with the following command:

    ./dirxml_jremote -config <file-name> -sp <remote-loader- password> <driver-password>

  5. Start the Remote Driver with the following command:

    ./dirxml_jremote -config <file-name>

注:  Ensure that there is only a single space between the string -class and the class name in the config file.
