Environment
Novell eDirectory 8.8 for Linux
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 Service Pack 3
Situation
eDirectory status will display the following error while running the commands "rcndsd status " or "ndsstat " :
"DisplayProductVersion failed: -625"
"DisplayProductVersion failed: -625"
Resolution
Resolution
- This happens if some of the eDirectory libraries are missing. Updating the eDirectory to the latest version will fix the issue.
- An update ( it is not consistent with other products ,meaning some old application that is not tested with a newer OS ) may overwrite or alter symbolic links and then the libraries can not be found. One can go through all the files, libraries, links to make sure they are in place.
- eDirectory Library files will be located in the following location:
- 32 bit server : /opt/novell/eDirectory/lib .
- 64 bit server : /opt/novell/eDirectory/lib64 .
