details
Overview: Novell Identity Manager 3.6.1 Scripting Driver Patch 2
System Requirements: Novell Identity Manager 3.6.1 and the Novell Identity Manager Driver for Scripting from that version.
Installation Instructions:
1. Stop the driver and driver shim started tasks, if they are running.
2. Platform specific install instructions
WINDOWS
Windows x86: replace wsdriver.exe, eventreader.exe and idmevent.exe with the files in the Win folder.
Windows x64: replace wsdriver.exe, eventreader.exe and idmevent.exe with the files in the Win\x64 folder.
By default these are located in C:\Program Files\Novell\WSDriver\bin.
OTHER PLATFORMS
For all other platforms, run the installer from the appropriate directory.
3.Extra Configuration for Windows:
Windows: update Driver Configuration with the Use Windows EFS option (see below).
a. In the Driver Configuration in iManager, scroll down to Driver
Parameters and click the edit XML button.
b. Within the | | tag,
paste the following XML after the last tag:
Choose whether Windows Encrypting File System (EFS) should be used to protect data on disk.
true
false
false
(This XML is also available in the Win\efsparameter.xml file.)
c. Click OK to save the XML. Verify that the Use Windows EFS option
appears.
d. Set the Use Windows EFS option to Yes or No as desired.
4. Start the driver and driver shim tasks.
Technical Support Information:
Current Fixes:
- The HTTP port (default 8091) of the Driver Shim may be disabled for security purposes. To disable the port, add the -nohttpport option to the configuration file:
Windows: C:\Program Files\Novell\WSDriver\conf\wsdrv.conf
Linux/UNIX: /etc/usdrv.conf
- On Windows, characters such as <, & and " would cause errors when present in event data. These characters are now handled correctly.
Previous Fixes:
- Fixed an error in the readme.
- On Windows, an option has been added to disable the use of Windows Encrypting File System (EFS) for temporary files used by the Driver. Disabling EFS will allow the Driver to function in environments where EFS is not supported.
If you Disable EFS, you shouldn't transmit sensitive data such as passwords with the Scripting Driver. If you wish to continue using EFS, no action is required.
- On Windows, temporary files are now correctly deleted after errors occur.
- Fixed "structured" attributes from being read correctly by the Unix script libraries.
- Fixed Perl library to correctly read attributes with spaces in their names.
- Fixed problem in Unix shared memory utility, where events with enough data to exceed 16k would not be parseable.
