Environment
Novell Identity Manager 3.6.1
Situation
When installing Novell Identity Manager (IDM) the installer prompts
for credentials to the tree where IDM is being installed.
This is done so that schema can be extended for the IDM product
within eDirectory. A log file for the installation is written
to /tmp/idmInstall.log which contains the steps taken during the
installation and in some cases contains the credentials as entered
by the administrator.
Resolution
The log file is not needed by IDM or any other product after the
installation is complete and is used for troubleshooting failures
during the install. It should be removed once the
installation is completed. The file is, by default, at the
following location:
/tmp/idmInstall.log
This location may change based on the system environment variables but should be in the defined temporary directory in any case.
/tmp/idmInstall.log
This location may change based on the system environment variables but should be in the defined temporary directory in any case.
This is currently resolved in IDM 4.01. If there is another patch for IDM 3.6, this will also be included there. There is no guarentee that there will be another 3.6 patch released at this time. The suggestion is to upgrade to IDM 4.01
