Using the Force Option to Upgrade OpenText eDirectory From Older Versions on Linux

OpenText eDirectory 9.3 only supports upgrades from version 9.2 or later on Linux.

To upgrade from OpenText eDirectory versions from 8.8.8, upgrade to OpenText eDirectory 9.2 and then upgrade to eDirectory 9.3. After upgrading to eDirectory 9.2, run the repair certificate in the identity console and then upgrade to OpenText eDirectory 9.3. For more information on repairing the default certificate, see

IMPORTANT:If the Identity Manager changelog module is already installed, then you must set the environment variable NDSD_IGNORE_IDM_CHECK to 1 while upgrading OpenText eDirectory to 9.2. For example:

  • On Linux: NDSD_IGNORE_IDM_CHECK=1 ./nds-install

  • On Windows: Set NDSD_IGNORE_IDM_CHECK to true before running setup.exe.
