NetIQ Identity Manager 4.8 Bundle Installer patch must be applied if you want to install Identity Manager 4.8 and upgrade to 4.8.6 simultaneously using the idm_bundle_installer.sh script. This script is applicable for the fresh installation of Identity Manager on all RHEL and SLES platforms. This document outlines why you should install this patch.
NOTE:This version of the bundle installer script is expected to run on all server wherever you want Identity Manager 4.8.6 to be installed/configured as a full installer. Make sure that you install the patch on every server.
This patch resolves the following upgrade issue:
Installing Identity Manager is a two-step process, first install and configure Identity Manager 4.8, then upgrade to Identity Manager 4.8.6. The installation can fail because eDirectory 9.2.0 bundled with Identity Manager 4.8 iso is not supported on RHEL 9 platform.
To resolve the issue, Perform the following steps:
IMPORTANT:The Disk space required for the bundle image is 12GB.
Download the Identity_Manager_4.8_Linux.iso and Identity_Manager_4.8.6_Linux.iso from the Software license and download site.
(Optional) If you want to configure Identity Reporting, download the IDM_MSGW_x.zip (where x= 4.2.2_P4 or later).
Create directories for mounting the downloaded .iso files.
Mount the downloaded .iso files onto the respective directories.
Download the Identity_Manager_4.8_BundleInstaller_1.0.0.zip file onto the target Linux server from the Software license and download site.
Extract the downloaded .zip file and navigate to the extracted folder.
(Conditional) Run the following command if the script file is in dos format:
dos2unix idm_bundle_installer.sh
