This patch is applicable for Active Directory drivers running on Identity Manager 4.6.x or Identity Manager 4.7.x. The driver version will be changed to 4.1.2.1 after the HF is applied.

• Windows Server 2019 (64 bit)
• Windows Server 2016 (64 bit)
• Windows Server 2012 (64 bit)
• Windows Server 2012 R2 (64 bit)
• Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit)

• Identity Manager 4.7 or later

Or

• Identity Manager 4.6 or later
• Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable Packages (vcredist_x64-2017 and vcredist_x86-2017) for Identity Manager Password Synchronization utility

NOTE: These packages are automatically installed with Identity Manager 4.7 or later versions.

The driver upgrade process involves updating the driver files.

1. Take a back-up of the current driver configuration.


2. (Conditional) If the driver is running locally, stop the driver instance and the Identity Vault.


3. (Conditional) If the driver is running with a Remote Loader instance, stop the driver and the Remote Loader instance.


4. Download and unzip the contents of to IDM_ADDriver_4121.zip file to a temporary location on your server.


5. Update the driver files:

Navigate to the extracted <IDM_ADDriver_4121>\x64 folder and perform the following actions:

• Copy ADDriver.dll to the appropriate folder for your Identity Manager version.


• Identity Manager 4.7 and later: \NetIQ\IdentityManager\NDS (local installation) or \Novell\RemoteLoader (remote installation)
• Identity Manager 4.6: \Novell\NDS (local installation) or \Novell\RemoteLoader (remote installation)


6. If the server has password synchronization configured, copy the following files from the extracted <IDM_ADDriver_4121>\x64 folder:


1. pwfilter.dll to the \Novell\IDM_PassSync\w64 folder.


2. Restart the server.


7. Update the Password Sync Filter.

NOTE: You must reboot each Domain Controller for the changes to take effect.

1. To update the Password Sync Filter files:


• On each Domain Controller, rename the existing pwfilter.dll file to pwfilter.old.


• Navigate to the extracted <IDM_ADDriver_4121>\x64 folder and copy the pwfilter.dll file to the \Windows\System32 folder.

Alternatively, run the Control Panel applet and check the filter status. Any old password sync filters should show as outdated and can be updated using that utility. A reboot of the Domain Controller is still needed because pwfilter.dll is loaded by the LSA process and that is only run at the startup of a server.

• Reboot each Domain Controller to apply the Password Sync Filter changes.

• If the driver is running locally, start the Identity Vault and the driver instance.


• If the driver is running with a Remote Loader instance, start the Remote Loader instance and the driver instance.
