Situation
When installing the Novell Audit (SLS) server on 64-bit machine, it is
installed as a 32-bit application and requires a 32 bit eDirectory and
ntls library set. If these libraries aren't available,
installation fails with the error message:
This error appears because auditext needs to load the MDB drivers and these drivers refer to 32-bit eDirectory libraries and 32-bit NTLS libraries.
Failed
to load any MDB driver - Error: Could not load
driver
/usr/lib/mdb/mdbfile.so, error 2 - /usr/lib/mdb/mdbfile.so:
cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory
This error appears because auditext needs to load the MDB drivers and these drivers refer to 32-bit eDirectory libraries and 32-bit NTLS libraries.
Resolution
64 bit platforms are fully supported using Sentinel or Sentinel Log manager. As Novell Audit is end of life, customers are encouraged to use Novell Sentinel.
