2.6 Installing Additional Files for Metadirectory 3.5.1

If you use the Identity Manager metadirectory 3.5.1, you must perform the additional steps described in these sections:

For Linux/Unix users, install this as a root user.

2.6.1 Installing the Role Service Driver by Using the GUI

This is only required when you are using the Identity Manager 3.5.1 metadirectory. If you installed the Identity Manager 3.6 metadirectory, these files were already installed.

The Role Service and User Application driver installation utility provides options to do the following:

  • Extend your Identity Vault schema to support the User Application and Roles Based Provisioning Module

  • Install the Role Service driver and User Application driver configuration files to the metadirectory server.

  • Install the Role Service and User Application driver configuration files to iManager.

You will have to run this installer on both the metadirectory and iManager machines.

NOTE:Your metadirectory must be installed in the default location to use this installer.

Access the Roles_Driver_Install_Utility.iso

  1. Locate and execute the installer for your operating system:

    Operating System

    Role Service Driver Installer

    AIX

    roles_driver_install.aix.bin

    Linux

    roles_driver_install.linux.bin

    Solaris

    roles_driver_install.solaris.bin

    Windows

    roles_dirver_install.exe

  2. Use the following information to complete the installation:

    Installation Screen

    Description

    License Agreement

    Read the License Agreement, then select I accept the terms of the License Agreement.

    Select Components

    Drivers: Installs the Role Service driver and the User Application driver to the metadirectory server, and updates supporting library JARs.

    Schema: Updates the metadirectory schema to include the objects needed for the Roles Based Provisioning Module and the User Application Standard Edition. It installs the nrf-extensions.sch file and the srvprv.sch file, and runs the command (NdsCons.exe for windows and ndssch for UNIX/Linux) for the current platform.

    Driver Configuration Files: Installs the Role Service driver and User Application driver configuration files. These files are used when you create the new drivers in iManager. You must run this on the machine hosting iManager.

    Authentication

    When you select Schema Extensions, you must specify a username and password. This user must have administrative rights to the Identity Vault. For example, cn=admin,o=novell.

    Select Location for Driver

    If you selected to install the Role Service and User Application driver, you are prompted for the location on the eDirectory server. These are typically installed to the metadirectory’s /lib/dirxml/classes directory.

    Install Location for Driver Configuration Files

    Specify where the installer should put the Driver Configuration files on the iManager machine. These are typically installed to the iManager’s /nps/Dirxml.Drivers directory.

    Pre-Installation Summary

    Read the Pre-Install Summary page to verify your choices for the installation parameters and complete the installation.

2.6.2 Installing the Role Service Driver from the Console

To run the installer in console (character) mode, issue the following command: 

roles_driver_install_<operatingsystemfile> -i console

Follow the same steps described for the graphical user interface under Section 2.6.1, Installing the Role Service Driver by Using the GUI, reading the prompts and entering responses at the command line.

2.6.3 Copying iManager Icons

NOTE:This procedure is not necessary if you have installed iManager 2.7 along with the latest plug-ins.

  1. In your downloaded .iso image, locate the prerequisites.zip file.

  2. Unzip the file, then locate the iManager_icons_for_roles.zip file.

    This contains the iManager icons for roles objects in the eDirectory.

  3. Unzip the file, then copy the extracted icons to the nps/portal/modules/dev/images/dir directory.

  4. Restart iManager so it uses the new icons.

2.6.4 Copying afadmin.jar

NOTE:This procedure is not necessary if you have installed iManager 2.7 along with the latest plug-ins.

  1. In your downloaded .iso image, locate the prerequisites.zip.

    You can find it in the /36MetaDirSupport directory.

  2. Unzip the file, then locate the afadmin.jar file.

  3. Copy the afadmin.jar file to the /iManager/nps/WEB-INF/lib directory.
