details

TID#3442146 - Bug 344416 - Password policy compliance not being enforced when using ldap (Verify option and NDSD_TRY_NMASLOGIN_FIRST=true)

System Requirements:

eDirectory 8.8 SP2 and/or Security Services 2.0.5 patch should be installed before installing this NMAS engineering build. eDirectory 8.8 SP2 and Security Services 2.0.5 patch can be found at http://download.novell.com

Installation:

1. Stop NDSD

2. Make a backup of following file:

For eDirectory 8.7.3 on Linux/Solaris/AIX:
/usr/lib/nds-modules/libnmas.so.3.2.0

For eDirectory 8.8 (and greater) on Linux/Solaris/AIX:
/opt/novell/eDirectory/lib/nds-modules/libnmas.so.3.2.0

3. Extract nmas3201_slah.tgz, for example: "tar -zxvf nmas3201_slah.tgz"

4. Once extracted, copy the files from the correct platform folder (solaris, linux, aix, or HP-UX) to the destination folder

For example (on an eDirectory 8.7.3 server):
sd32:~/Desktop/nmas3201_slah/linux #cp libnmas.so /usr/lib/nds-modules/

For example (on an eDirectory 8.8 SP2 server):
sd32:~/Desktop/nmas3201_slah/linux #cp libnmas.so /opt/novell/eDirectory/lib/nds-modules

5. Verify the symbolic links exist between libnmas.so and libnmas.so.3.2.0

For example (on an eDirectory 8.7.3 server):
sd32:/usr/lib/nds-modules # ll libnmas.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2007-11-30 11:03 libnmas.so -> libnmas.so.3.2.0

For example (on an eDirectory 8.8 SP2 server):
sd32:/opt/novell/eDirectory/lib/nds-modules # ll libnmas.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2007-11-30 11:03 libnmas.so -> libnmas.so.3.2.0

If the symbolic links are missing between libnmas.so and libnmas.so.3.2.0, do the following to recreate them

sd32:~/opt/novell/eDirectory/lib/nds-modules # ln -s libnmas.so.3.2.0 libnmas.so

6. After verfiying the symbolic links are created properly, restart ndsd.

7. After restarting ndsd, check the ndsd.log to verify that NMAS 3.2.0.1 was the version that loaded.
NMAS Server Version:3.2.0.1 Build:20071127 started
