details

Overview: IDM 3.5.1 Active Directory Driver Patch.

System Requirements: IDM 3.5.1 and the Active Directory Driver patch from that version of IDM. For the implementation of the LDAP Incremental values control feature, this patch requires the Window 2003 domain be in the "Windows Server 2003" functional level.

Installation:
1. Stop driver and remote loader service if running remote.
2. Copy the patched addriver.dll to \novell\nds\ if running locally on Windows or \remoteloader if using the remote loader.
3. Copy the patched PassSyncConfig.cpl to \Windows\System32"(32 bit host) or WINDOWS\SysWOW64 (64 bit host)
4 Start the remote loader if running remote and the driver.
5. Configure password filters if necessary. See documentation.

Technical Support Information:

Current Fixes:

- AD Driver now forces Powershell to same DC as the driver. Before there were replication delays that would cause "object could not be found" errors. This only happened when the driver was talking to one DC but the IDM exchange service was talking to another. Bug 364791

- Fixed memory leak in AD Query mechanism. Bug 301558

- Fixed issue where Password sync install does not update correct registry key for 64bit filter. During the install of the 64bit password filter to the domain controllers the registry keys for Host Names was only created in hklm/SOFTWARE/Wow6432Node/Novell/PwFilter and no entry was added in hklm/SOFTWARE/Novell/PwFilter. Bug 344553

- Implemented the LDAP Incremental values control feature. Requires the Window 2003 domain be in the "Windows Server 2003" functional level.

The following new driver parameter must be added to the access options section
of the AD driver configuration.

<definition display-name="Enable DirSync Incremental Values" hide="false" id="115" name="enable-incremental-values" type="enum"> <description>Ordinarily the publisher will receive all member values of a group when one or more has changed. This option reports only the added or deleted member values during the poll interval. Requires 2003 Forest functional mode.</description> <enum-choice display-name="Yes">yes</enum-choice> <enum-choice display-name="No">no</enum-choice> <value>yes</value> </definition>

See the IDM 3.5.1 Active Directory documentation for more details. A new section 'Optional Configuration Parameters' section 5.5 will be added to the documentation in the next posting of the documentation for this driver. Bug 330245
