Installing Identity Manager 65
If you have installed iManager, and you later want to install iManager plug-ins, you must set the
WEB_ADMIN_SELECTED value to true .
7.6.5 Installing the Java Remote Loader on UNIX or Linux
dirxml_jremote is a pure Java Remote Loader. It is used to exchange data between the
Metadirectory server running on one server and the Identity Manager drivers running in another
location, where
rdxml doesn’t run. It should be able to run on any system with a compatible JRE
(1.5.0 minimum) and Java Sockets. It is supported on the Linux/UNIX platforms the Identity Manager
supports.
1 Verify that the Java 1.5.x JDK/JRE is available on the host system.
IMPORTANT: For updating your JRE, you must note that JRE 1.6 versions upto update 23 ship
with CVE-2010-4476 security vulnerability (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/
alert-cve-2010-4476-305811.html). This security vulnerability has been addressed in JRE 1.6.0-24
version. You must use the FPUpdater tool that Sun has recently released to update your JRE to
JRE 1.6.0-24 version. The instructions for installing the latest JRE versions are available at the JRE
Patch Download Site (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/fpupdater-tool-readme-
305936.html).
2 Ensure that you have downloaded the necessary Identity Manager files from the Novell
Downloads Web site. For more information, see Chapter 5, “Where to Get Identity Manager,” on
page 39.
3 Locate the Java Remote Loader installation files on the Identity Manager media:
Linux:
IDM4.0.1_Lin/products/IDM/java_remoteloader
Solaris: IDM4.0.1_Solaris/products/IDM/java_remoteloader
4 Copy the dirxml_jremote_dev.tar.gz file to the desired location on the remote server.
5 Copy the dirxml_jremote.tar.gz or the dirxml_jremote_mvs.tar file to the desired location
on the remote server.
For example:
/usr/idm
For information on mvs, untar the dirxml_jremote_mvs.tar file, then refer to the usage.html
document.
6 Unzip and extract the dirxml_jremote.tar.gz file and the dirxml_jremote_dev.tar.gz file.
For example:
gunzip dirxml_jremote.tar.gz or tar -xvf dirxml_jremote_dev.tar
7 Copy the application shim .jar files to the lib subdirectory that was created when the
dirxml_jremote.tar file was extracted.
Because the tar file doesn’t contain the
.jar files, you must manually copy these .jar files from
the Metadirectory server into the
lib directory. The lib directory is under the directory where
the untarring occurred.
The default installation directory for
.jar files on the Metadirectory server is /opt/novell/
eDirectory/lib/dirxml/classes
.
