Environment

SLES10 SP3
OES2Sp2
OES2Sp3
eDirectory 8.8.5
eDirectory 8.8.6
IDM 3.6.1

Situation

One has made some changes in either the Identity Manager configuration files or mis configured the JAVA Heap Size for Identity Manager and now the eDirectory does not stay loaded.
 
Our aim is to be able to revert back the changes using iManager and need eDirectory to stay loaded on the server.

Resolution

This is not a recommended solution and must only be done user the supervision and after the confirmation of an Novell Technician.
 
On the server where IDM is running go to
 
/opt/novell/eDirectory/lib
or
/opt/novell/eDirectory/lib64
 
From this location move libdirxml.so and libdirxml.so to a different location.
 
Restart the server and ensure that eDirectory stays running.
 
Go to iManager and revert back the changes done.
 
Move the libdirxml.so and libdirxml.la files back to original location.
 
Restart the server and ensure that everything is working fine including all IDM drivers.
