abstract

Novell Identity Manager Driver for Linux and UNIX 3.5 Patch 2 Novell Identity Manager Integration Modules for Linux and UNIX 3.5.1 Patch 1 This is for the Bi-directional driver, not the Fanout driver

details

Installation Instructions
-------------------------

1. If you have already installed the driver and have customized the shell scripts, make a backup and restore after installation.

(Note: review the shell scripts installed by this field patch for changes)

2. Install the driver shim and follow the installation prompts:

sh _driver_install.bin

3. Start the driver and driver shim

/etc/init.d/nxdrvd start

Issues fixed in this patch:
---------------------------------
This patch is a cummulative patch which has fixed the following items since the 3.5.1 release:

- Network writes would fail on large amounts of data. This would cause the driver to fail and hang during large migrations.

- Improved memory allocation during event processing, which improved how much memory was required for large migrations.

- NIS polling script (poll.sh) now checks for 0-byte passwd map and retries access. This can occur if the script attempts to read the maps when another entity has it locked for access.

- NIS modify-user.sh script now returns "No Information Modified" status document when nothing on a user is actually modified. In addition, it no longer executes "make passwd" in such cases, which generated unnecessary work and network traffic.

- Unicode characters would often cause the driver to crash or hang.

- During migration, the query scripts would not return all attributes that were requested from the filter.

- During migration, the query scripts would not return complete field values that contained spaces (such as the 'gecos' field).

- After 5 minuts of inactivity, the driver would disconnect and reconnect with the engine.

- Enabled authPassword handling in the polling scripts, so that the authPassword field could be published.
