2.5 eDirectory

The following are the known OES-specific eDirectory issues. For general eDirectory issues, refer to the eDirectory documentation website.

2.5.1 eDirectory Features Not Supported in OES 2018 SP2

With OES 2018 SP2, the following eDirectory features are not supported:

SUITE B

For more information, see Configuring eDirectory in Suite B Mode in the NetIQ eDirectory Administration Guide.
Enhanced Background Authentication (EBA)
FIPS

NOTE:By default, eDirectory on OES 2018 (and later versions) supports SSL and TLS versions upto TLSv1.2. You do not need to perform any additional FIPS configuration to enable them.

NOTE:With OES 2018 SP1 or earlier, along with these eDirectory features, creation of AES 128-bit tree key or 256-bit tree key is also not supported.

2.5.2 eDirectory Not Restarting Automatically

After a system crash or power failure, eDirectory services (ndsd) might not automatically start in some situations.

To start eDirectory again:

Delete the /var/opt/novell/eDirectory/data/ndsd.pid file.
At a terminal prompt, enter systemctl start ndsd.service
