Environment
Novell eDirectory
Situation
In troubleshooting ndsd/DirXML, it may be necessary to temporarily prevent
DirXML from auto-loading when ndsd is started. This document
provides the steps to achieve that.
Resolution
LINUX:
To prevent DirXML from autoloading when ndsd starts:
# mv /usr/lib/nds-modules/libvrdim.so /usr/lib/nds-modules/libvrdim.so.orig
To also prevent the caching subsystem from running:
# mv /usr/lib/nds-modules/libdxevent.so /usr/lib/nds-modules/libdxevent.so.orig
WINDOWS:
IDM is installed in the same directory where eDirectory's dlms are (by default, C:\Novell\NDS)
1) Stop the eDirectory service
2) Move the file “dxevent.dll” from the directory where eDirectory is installed to another location
3) Start the eDirectory service
2) Move the file “dxevent.dll” from the directory where eDirectory is installed to another location
3) Start the eDirectory service
Additional Information
Beware that these changes will not only prevent them auto-starting when ndsd is started, but will also prevent the loading of IDM and starting the drivers in general. The changes are only suggested as a temporary measure during troubleshooting, and should be reversed to return to normal operation.
