Upgrading 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 the IDM_AzureAD_5.1.5_P1.zip file to a temporary location on your computer.


5. (Conditional) To upgrade the driver files:


• As a root user, perform the following steps:


1. On the server where you want apply the driver patch, log in as root.


2. Navigate to the extracted <IDM_AzureAD_5.1.5_P1.zip> directory and perform one of the following actions for your platform:


• Linux:


• Navigate to the <IDM_AzureAD_5.1.5_P1.zip>;/Linux directory
• Install the netiq-DXMLRESTAzure.rpm by running the following commands in a terminal window:

rpm -Uvh (patch-path)/linux/netiq-DXMLRESTAzure.rpm

• Copy the following jar files from IDM_AzureAD_5.1.5_P1/common/ folder and place it in the driver installation folder. For example, /opt/novell/eDirectory/lib/dirxml/classes/ (for local or remote installation).


• asm-1.0.2.jar


• common-2.45.4.jar


• content-type-2.2.jar


• json-smart-2.4.7.jar


• msal4j-1.11.0.jar


• nimbus-jose-jwt-9.15.2.jar


• oauth2-oidc-sdk-9.20.1.jar


• slf4j-log4j12-1.7.32.jar




• Windows:


• Navigate to the <extracted IDM_AzureAD_5.1.5_P1.zip>/Windows folder. Copy and replace the AZDriverShim.jar, RestLib.jar, and OData.jar. files in the C:\NetIQ\IDM\NDS\lib folder.
• Copy the following jar files from IDM_AzureAD_5.1.5_P1/common/ folder and place it in the driver installation folder. For example, \NetIQ\IdentityManager\NDS (local installation) or \Novell\RemoteLoader\64bit (remote installation).


• asm-1.0.2.jar


• common-2.45.4.jar


• content-type-2.2.jar


• json-smart-2.4.7.jar


• msal4j-1.11.0.jar


• nimbus-jose-jwt-9.15.2.jar


• oauth2-oidc-sdk-9.20.1.jar


• slf4j-log4j12-1.7.32.jar




• Upgrade the Windows Exchange Service:


• Stop the IDMExchangeOnline service from Windows services console (services.msc).


• Navigate to Windows Exchange Service in the extracted <IDM_AzureAD_5.1.5_P1.zip> folder and copy the Microsoft.Identity.Client.dll, ExchServerHost.exe and IDMExchServer.dll files to the Windows Exchange Service installation folder in your file system. For example, C:\NetIQ\ExchangeServerHost.


• Start the IDMExchangeOnline service from Windows services console(services.msc).

Important: To support new APIs, you must mandatorily install the Microsoft Exchange Online PowerShell V2 module (EXO V2). For the prerequisites and installation procedure, see About the Exchange Online PowerShell V2 module.



• As a non-root user, perform the following steps:


1. Verify that /rpm directory exists and contains _db.* file.

The _db.* file is created during a non-root installation of the Identity Manager engine. The absence of this file might indicate that the Identity Manager is not installed properly. You must reinstall the Identity Manager to correctly place the file in the directory.

2. To set the root directory to the location of non-root Identity Vault, enter the following command in the command prompt:

ROOTDIR=<non-root eDirectory location>

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

3. To install the driver files, enter the following command:

For example, to install the REST driver RPM, use this command:

rpm --dbpath $ROOTDIR/rpm -Uvh --relocate=/usr=$ROOTDIR/opt/novell/eDirectory --relocate=/etc=$ROOTDIR/etc --relocate=/opt/novell/eDirectory=$ROOTDIR/opt/novell/eDirectory --relocate=/opt/novell/dirxml=$ROOTDIR/opt/novell/dirxml --relocate=/var=$ROOTDIR/var --badreloc --nodeps --replacefiles /home/user/netiq-DXMLRESTAzure.rpm

where /opt/novell/eDirectory is the location where non-root eDirectory is installed and /home/user/ is the home directory of the non-root user.

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


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