Remote loader installation

The remote loader is used to synchronize data between the meta directory and the connected system (AD, LDAP, MySQL, etc). It is required to open the communication port (default 8090 (TCP) incomming) for the following IP addresses within your firewall:

134.76.10.204
134.76.10.205
134.76.10.206
134.76.10.207
134.76.10.208
134.76.10.209
134.76.10.210
AND
134.76.9.64/28

For system requirements see: System requirements P. 154 ff

• Download remote loader files
• Download T-TeleSec-GlobalRoot-Class-2 certificate
• Extract remote loader files and certificate
• run idm_install.exe
• Choose only Novell Identity Manager Connected System Server (64-bit)
• Ignore licence warning

• Run rlconsole.exe within the installation path as administrator (Default: C:\Novell\RemoteLoader)
• Click add
• Add description
• Choose driver (eg. ADDriver.dll)
• Set communication port (Default: 8090)
• Set remote loader password (required by GWDG)
• Set driver object password (required by GWDG)
• Activate SSL
• choose path to T-TeleSec-GlobalRoot-Class-2-chain.b64
• Select “run as servcie”
• Accept (don't start the remote loader service)
• Go to the installation path (Default: C:\Novell\RemoteLoader) and edit the file <instanceName>-Config.txt (maybe you have to open the file as administrator)

The installation on Linux systems differs between certified sytsems (SLES 11, RHEL 6.5, OES 11, etc.) and non-certified systems. If you are using a non-certified system eg. Ubuntu the Java remote loader has to be installed.

yum install glibc.i686

• Extract remote loader
• Edit file silent.properties
  • METADIRECTORY_SERVER_SELECTED=false
  • WEB_ADMIN_SELECTED=false
  • UTILITIES_SELECTED=false
  • Choose remote loader
    • 32 Bit
      • CONNECTED_SYSTEM_SELECTED=true

• Download remote loader files
• Download T-TeleSec-GlobalRoot-Class-2 certificate
• Extract the certificate
• JRE Java8u112, at a minimum is required

• Extract Java remote loader
• Make dirxml_jremote and create_keystore executable

• Change in the installation directory eg. /opt/novell/dirxml/bin/x86_64/
• Crerate keystore file

• ./create_keystore T-TeleSec-GlobalRoot-Class-2-chain.b64

• Edit dirxml_jremote and replace

• jarlist=`ls /opt/novell/eDirectory/lib/dirxml/classes/*.jar`

• with

• jarlist=`ls /<installation path>/lib/*.jar`

• Add/Edit config8000.txt

Example LDAP Konfiguration

-commandport 8000
-connection "port=8090 keystore='<installation directory>/dirxml.keystore' storepass=dirxml"
-trace 4
-tracefile ./trace8000.log
-tracefilemax 10M
-class com.novell.nds.dirxml.driver.ldap.LDAPDriverShim

• Set remote loader and driver object password (both are required by GWDG):

./dirxml_jremote -config config8000.txt -sp <remote loader password> <driver object password>

• Run the Java remote loader:

./dirxml_jremote -config config8000.txt

• Java has to be in PATH variable!

PATH=$PATH:/path/to/java/bin/

#!/bin/sh
INSTDIR=/opt/novell/dirxml/bin/x86_64/
STAGEDIR=$INSTDIR/stage
USER=ldap

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH

cd $INSTDIR
