9.0 Installing the Identity Vault on a Linux Server

The installation utility can guide you through the configuration settings for the Identity Vault. Your choice of performing the installation as a root or a non-root user should match the method that you plan to use for installing the Identity Manager engine. For more information about the additional packages that you can use to support eDirectory on a Linux server, see “Linux Packages for NetIQ eDirectory” in the NetIQ eDirectory 9.0 SP2 Installation Guide.

WARNING:The install_location/etc/opt/novell/eDirectory/conf directory contains critical configuration information used for tracking and managing the eDirectory instances running on your server. Do not remove any contents from this directory.

If you are installing eDirectory 9.0 or later version where the latest 64-bit Remote Loader is already installed, then the eDirectory installation fails and Remote Loader stops working. To ensure that the Remote Loader works properly, perform the below steps before installing eDirectory 9.0 or later:

  1. Stop Remote Loader and its instances.

  2. Uninstall novell-DXMLopensslx RPM.

  3. Install eDirectory.
