Situation

Installation for IDM using individual installer from AE build is completed
without any error. But upon loading the DirXML module (libvrdim.*) following
exception is generated:

Error initializing DirXML: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
novell/jclient/JCContext
    at com.novell.nds.dirxml.engine.MiscDS.createLocalContext(MiscDS.java:73)

Resolution

On checking directory /opt/novell/eDirectory/lib/dirxml/classes/ the entry for
jclient.jar is missing.

On creating soft link of jclient.jar from
(/opt/novell/eDirectory/lib64) at (/opt/novell/eDirectory/lib/dirxml/classes)
the DirXML module starts without any error.

To create the soft link do this:

ln -s /opt/novell/eDirectory/lib64/jclnt/libjclnt.so.0.0.0
/opt/novell/eDirectory/lib64/jclnt/libjclnt.so
