2.3 Updating the Driver Files

This section provides general instructions for updating the driver files. For information about updating the driver files to a specific version, search for that driver patch in the Patch Finder Download Page and follow the instructions from the Readme file that accompanies the driver patch release.

To update the driver files perform the following steps:

  1. Stop the driver instance by using iManager, Designer, or dxcmd by performing one of the following actions:

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

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

    For example, go to a command prompt on Linux and run ndsmanage stopall

  2. Download the driver patch file to a temporary folder on your server.

  3. Extract the contents of the driver patch file.

  4. For Linux, open a command prompt and run the following command to upgrade the existing RPM:

    rpm -Uvh <Driver Patch File Temporary Location>/linux/netiq-DXMLRESTAzure.rpm

  5. For Windows, perform the following actions:

    1. Navigate to the <Extracted Driver Patch File Temporary Location>\windows folder.

    2. Copy the following jars to the folder <IdentityManager installation>\NDS\lib or <IdentityManager installation>\RemoteLoader\<architecture>\lib.

      • AZDriverShim.jar

      • RestLib.jar

      • OData.jar

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

    For example, open a command prompt on Linux and run ndsmanage startall

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