Situation
Remote Loader on Linux servers does not load after installation and configuration
Remote Loader does not load along with system restart
Remote Loader does not load along with system restart
Resolution
Set Driver Object and Remote Loader passwords as follows instead of defining them in the configuration file for the Driver.
1. Edit the Driver Configuration file and delete the entry starting with "-setpasswords", which defines Driver Object and Remote Loader passwords.
2. Define Driver and Remote Loader passwords by executing following command on a Terminal
rdxml -config <Complete_Path_To_The_Configuration_File_For_The_Driver> -sp <Remote Loader_Password><Driver_Password>
Example: rdxml -config /etc/opt/novell/dirxml/rdxml/groupwise.txt -sp novell novell
3. Make sure that two encrypted password files (dpwd.xxx and lpwd.xxx ) have been generated in the folder /var/opt/novell/dirxml/rdxml
4. Start the Remote Loader by the command "/etc/init.d/rdxml start"
5. Verify that Remote Loader is loaded by the executing the following command /etc/init.d/rdxml status
Result should be "rdxml instance with pid <PID_Number> is running"

Additional Information
- Remote Loader running on Linux server requires encrypted password files to load. Generate Password files as mentioned above.
- Set the Remote Loader to start along with system restart by the executing the following command chkconfig rdxml on
- Verify that Remote Loader has been enabled to load along with system restart by executing the following command chkconfig rdxml -l
- Creating a link "rcrdxml" in the folder /usr/sbin using the command ln -s /etc/init.d/rdxml rcrdxml (After changing to the directory /usr/sbin) allows to control the Remote Loader using the command "rcrdxml <start | stop | status>", instead of using the command "/etc/init.d/rdxml <start | stop | status>"
- Extension of password files will be the value specified by the parameter "-commandport" in the driver configuration file
