52.2 Applying Software Update for an Identity Manager Driver

This section contains information about installing a software update (commonly known as patch) for an Identity Manager driver.

52.2.1 Applying the Identity Manager Driver Patch as a Root User

In a root installation, the driver patch installs the driver RPMs in the default locations in the /opt/novell/eDirectory path.

52.2.2 Applying the Identity Manager Driver Patch as a Non-Root User

Verify that </local/home/bshidm/base/bshappl/edir> directory exists and contains the file, _db.000.

The _db.000 file is created during a non-root installation of the Identity Manager engine. Absence of this file might indicate that Identity Manager is not properly installed. Reinstall Identity Manager to correctly place the file in the directory.
To set the root directory to non-root eDirectory location, enter the following command in the command prompt:
```
ROOTDIR=/local/home/bshidm/base/bshappl/edir
```
This will set the environmental variables to the directory where eDirectory is installed as a non-root user.
Download the driver patch and untar or unzip the downloaded file.

To install the driver files, run the following script in a command prompt:
