2.3.4 Upgrading eDirectory After Applying a Patch Does Not Remove the
Patch Version on a Windows System
When you upgrade eDirectory after applying a patch, the patch version is not upgraded; but, the
base version of the product is upgraded.
This issue is observed and reproduced for the following upgrade scenarios:
Table 2-1 eDirectory Versions
The issue occurs because eDirectory installers and patch installers in Windows are separate. Base
product of eDirectory is installed via NIS framework and patches like eDirectory 8.8 SP5 Patch 2 are
installed by using Nulsoft Installer Script (NSIS). Because the installers are different, only the base
version of the product is upgraded; not the patch installed via NSIS.
To workaround this issue, remove the registry entry of the patch (for example: eDirectory 8.7.3 SP9/
eDirectory 8.7.3 SP10/eDirectory 8.8 SP5 patch 2 and eDirectory 8.8 SP5 patch 3) during the upgrade.
2.4 Multiple Instances
While handling multiple instances of eDirectory, you may encounter the following problems:
Section 2.4.1, “If the First Instance is Down, HTTP Does Not Work,” on page 19
Section 2.4.2, “eDirectory Does Not Listen on All the Configured Interfaces,” on page 20
2.4.1 If the First Instance is Down, HTTP Does Not Work
On Linux and UNIX platforms, if eDirectory is configured on a box with multiple NIC cards and if
HTTP is bound to more than one interface; if the first interface goes down, HTTP would not be
accessible from the remaining interfaces.
This is because the remaining interfaces will redirect the request to the first one, but the first interface
is down.
To resolve this issue, if the first interface goes down, restart eDirectory.
