3.2 Installing Change-Log module on a connected eDirectory server

For the bidirectional eDirectory driver to work, you must install the change-log module on the connected eDirectory server. The change-log enables the driver to recognize changes that require publication from the connected eDirectory to the Identity Vault. The change-log module is supported on eDirectory version 8.8.5 and later versions.

The change-log module is provided on the Identity Manager media for both 32‐bit and 64‐bit platforms. Based on your architecture, copy the change-log module from the /products/IDM/Dirxml-Changelog directory of your installation folder and install it on the connected eDirectory server.

The following sections provide instructions to install the change-log module on Linux, Solaris, and Windows platforms:
