3.2 Upgrading the Driver Shim from IDM 2.x

  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 Identity Manager 3.0.1 driver shim. You can do this at the same time that you install the Identity Manager 3.0.1 engine.

    Follow the instructions in Installing Identity Managerin the Identity Manager 3.0.1 Installation Guide.

    WARNING:If you have been using Password Synchronization 1.0, don’t install the upgraded Identity Manager Driver for NT Domain until you have read Section 3.4, Upgrading from Password Synchronization 1.0 to Identity Manager Password Synchronization and are ready to add policies to your driver configuration to provide backward compatibility with Password Synchronization 1.0.

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

  3. After the shim is installed, Novell® eDirectory™ and the driver need to be restarted. Follow the instructions in Starting, Stopping, or Restarting a Driverin the Novell Identity Manager 3.0.1 Administration Guide.

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

    See Activating the Driver.

After you install the driver shim, continue with Section 3.3, Upgrading the Driver Configuration.
