Dsbk and eMBox stop working after applying Security Services 2.0.4

Problem:
DSBK backups fail after applying Security Services 2.0.4 ( ss204 )
DSBK restores fail after applying Security Services 2.0.4 ( ss204 )
DSBK no longer works after applying Security Services 2.0.4 ( ss204 )
eMBox no longer works after applying Security Services 2.0.4 ( ss204 )

Errors:
Getting error "Unable to load backupcr module!" in the /var/nds/ndsd.log.
Getting error "DSBK error! 1" in the ndsd.log
ndsd crashes after attempting to perform a backup with eMBox
When performing a backup, eMbox will return the following messages:
WS: Unable to create a connection to the server.
com.novell.eMBoxSDK.ServiceException: Performing service failed.
com.novell.eMBoxSDK.LogoutFailedException: Logout failed.

This issue is a result of NICI removing a softlink from /etc/nici.cfg to /etc/opt/novell/nici/nici.cfg.

To resolve this issue recreate the softlink as follows:

ln -s /etc/opt/novell/nici.cfg /etc/nici.cfg

In addition to creating the soft link, in some cases "ldconfig" may need to be run. ldconfig creates the necessary links and cache (for use by the run-time linker, ld.so) to the most recent shared libraries found in the directories specified on the command line.

See TID#3154121 - Ndsd cores when shutting down ndsd after applying Security Services 2.0.4

An example of the backup syntax is as follows:
dsbk backup -b -f/root/dsr_dib/dib.bak -l/root/dsr_dib/dibbak.log -t -w

An example of a restore syntax is:
dsbk restore -r -a -o -f /root/dsr_dib/dib.bak -l /root/dsr_dib/dib2.log

For more information on dsbk see TID# 10098714

Note: Security Services 2.0.4 is a prerequisite for the installation of Identity Manager 3.5. This is the reason Identity Manager 3.5 is mentioned in the list of affected products.
