3.2 Installing the Change-Log Module on a Remote eDirectory server

Extend the schema.

Download the latest bidirectional eDirectory patch, unzip the folder, navigate to the directory containing the remote eDirectory schema file (clschema.sch), and extend the schema. For more information, see Extending the Remote eDirectory Schema.

Stop eDirectory.

Install the Change-Log module.

Start eDirectory.

Set the root directory to non-root eDirectory location by entering the following command in the command prompt:

ROOTDIR=<non-root eDirectory location>

This will set the environmental variables to the directory where eDirectory is installed as a non-root user.

For example, ROOTDIR="/local/home/bshidm/base/bshappl/edir.

Note that this location is specified in the example script in Step 2.

Alternatively, set the root directory by directly editing the script in a text editor before running the script in Step 2.

Install the Change-Log module by running the following script in a command prompt:
