On a non- DSfW Server, if you restart eDirectory, the following error message is received: “Method load failed: libxadnds.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.” This is because 3 NMAS methods (IPCExternal, Kerberos, and Negotiate) fail to load on the server.
These NMAS methods that are specific to DSfW are part of the novell-xad-nmas-methods rpm and depend on the libraries from the novell-xad-framework rpm. Since the novell-xad-framework rpm is part of the DSfW pattern and is installed only on a DSfW server, you receive this error message on a non-DSfW server.
If you receive this error message, you can ignore this message as these DSfW NMAS methods do not function in a non-DSfW server and do not impact any eDirectory functionality.
