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

Create a remote eDirectory schema file (clschema.sch) with the following content:

NDSSchemaExtensions DEFINITIONS ::=
BEGIN

"DirXML-ServerKeys" ATTRIBUTE ::=
{
        Operation               ADD,
        Flags                   {DS_READ_ONLY_ATTR, DS_HIDDEN_ATTR},
        SyntaxID                SYN_OCTET_STRING,
        ASN1ObjID               {2 16 840 1 113719 1 14 4 1 65}
}

END

Extend clschema.sch schema. For more information on extending the remote eDirectory schema, see Extending the Remote eDirectory Schema.

Stop eDirectory.

Navigate to the directory containing the change-log RPM and perform one of the following actions:

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/nruser/base/bshappl/edir, where nruser is the non-root user.

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:
