Environment

Identity Manager 4.7
Open Enterprise Server 2018 (OES 2018) Linux

Situation

Unable to install and configure IDM 4.7 on a OES2018 server.

Error received during the install of IDM on the OES2018 server as found in the /var/opt/netiq/idm/log/idminstall.log
Installing Identity Store
Detected Open Enterprise Server, aborting the installation.

Error received in the /var/opt/netiq/idm/log/idmconfigure.log when trying to configure IDM on the OES2018 server.
The installer has detected that the Identity Vault is not installed on the system..

Resolution

Download the current IDM 4.7 install .iso and use it to install IDM 4.7 on the OES2018 server.    It will detect eDirectory on the server and install and configure IDM 4.7 correctly on a OES2018 server.


Cause

OES2018 has renamed the eDirectory modules installed on a OES2018 server from the original names of novell-NDSserv to edirectory-oes-server.

The original shipping install and configure scripts for IDM 4.7 does detect the renamed modules correctly.
The IDM 4.7 .ISO installation files were refreshed to detect eDirectory correctly on a OES2018 server and resolve other installation issues.

Additional Information

Additional tests you can do before running the install.sh are to verify you can see the eDirectory installed on your OES2018 server.
rpm -qa | grep edirectory-oes-server
You can also look in the  ...common/scripts/system_utils.sh script under the function checkeDirExist() to see if the following is in there:   It will not be there if you are using an old .ISO.
EDIRVERSIONINST=`rpm -qi edirectory-oes-server 2>>$log_file | grep "Version" | awk '{print $3}'`
