Environment


NetIQ eDirectory 9.0.3
NetIQ Identity Manager 4.5
NetIQ Identity Manager 4.6

Situation

eDirectory does not start after upgrading eDirectory to 9.0.x when Identity Manager 4.5 or 4.6 is installed.

Starting ndsd gives an error like:

[root@rhel6 log]# /etc/init.d/ndsd start
Executing customized settings before starting the NetIQ eDirectory server...
Starting NetIQ eDirectory server...
A previous instance of ndsd was not shutdown cleanly. Ignoring old pid file.
A core file exists in the dib directory:/var/opt/novell/eDirectory/data/dib/core.32563. Please search the knowledge base and/or contact support.

Resolution

Based on the Checklist for Upgrading Identity Manager for Identity Manager the package 'novell-DXMLopensslx' must be removed from the system when upgrading to eDirectory 9.0.x when upgrading the Remote Loader.

Remote 'novell-DXMLopensslx':

# rpm -e novell-DXMLopensslx

Start ndsd:

# /etc/init.d/ndsd start


Cause

OpenSSL in Identity Manager 4.5 and 4.6 is incompatible with OpenSSL provided by eDirectory 9.0.x.
