3.2 Upgrading the Driver Shim from Idenity Manager 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. Back up the driver. See Section 7.0, Backing Up the Driver for instruction on how to back up the driver.

  3. Install the Identity Manager 3.5.1 driver shim. You can do this at the same time that you install the Identity Manager 3.5.1 engine.

    Follow the instructions in Installing Identity Manager in theIdentity Manager 3.5.1 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.

  4. After the shim is installed, Novell® eDirectory™ and the driver need to be restarted. Follow the instructions in Section 6.1, Starting, Stopping, or Restarting the Driver.

  5. 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.
