Here is the procedure for installing IBM Security Directory Server V6.4.0.25 along with its requisite components from refresh images:

  • Note: This procedure is applicable ONLY for new installation of SDS 6.4.0.25 along with all requisite products on a supported operating system. For systems with existing SDS 6.4 installation, refer to "Recommended Fixes" table to download and update SDS and requisite products.
  1. Download the required 6.4.0.25 refresh image from Passport Advantage
    Platform SDS Direct Entitled Part Number Bundler Provided Part Number Filename
    AIX M06G6ML M05NCML sds-6.4.0.25-aix-ppc64.tar.gz
    Linux x86_64 M05D7ML M05NHML sds-6.4.0.25-linux-x86-64.tar.gz
    Linux s390x M0898ML M089FML sds-6.4.0.25-linux-s390x.tar.gz
    Windows M05D9ML M06G5ML sds-6.4.0.25-win64.zip
  2. Transfer all the files to your target system that is going to function as SDS/DB2 system. After transfer, unpack the files into a folder where you have sufficient disk space:
    AIX: gunzip -c sds-6.4.0.25-aix-ppc64.tar.gz | tar -xf -
    Linux x86_64: tar -zxf sds-6.4.0.25-linux-x86-64.tar.gz
    Linux s390x: tar -zxf sds-6.4.0.25-linux-s390x.tar.gz
    Windows x64: Double-click sds-6.4.0.25-win64.zip from Windows File Explorer and extract to a folder such as C:\Temp\.
     
  3. Contents of compressed file are extracted to a folder called "sdsV6.4" that contains all the required files to proceed with the installation.
    In all the following steps, "<path>" is the parent folder of "sdsV6.4". 
     
  4. Install DB2 on a SDS/DB2 system (Refer to https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/db2/11.5?topic=servers-db2-installation-methods):
    Here are some typical examples to install DB2
    cd <path>/sdsV6.4/ibm_db2
    AIX./db2_install -y -f NOPCMK -f NOTSAMP -p SERVER -b /opt/IBM/db2/V11.5
    Linux./db2_install -y -f NOPCMK -f NOTSAMP -p SERVER -b /opt/ibm/db2/V11.5
    Windows: DB2 gets installed along with SDS 6.4.0.25 during Step 6.

    Verify the installation by using:
    AIX, Linux: /usr/local/bin/db2ls
     
  5. Install GSKit and verify installation:
    AIX
    cd <path>/sdsV6.4/ibm_gskit
    installp -acXgYd . GSKit8
    lslpp -l | grep -i gsk

    Linux:
    cd <path>/sdsV6.4/ibm_gskit
    rpm -Uhv gskcrypt64*rpm gskssl64*rpm
    rpm -qa | grep -i gsk

    Windows: GSKit gets installed along with SDS 6.4.0.25 during Step 6.
     
  6. Install or Update Security Directory Server V6.4.0.25:
    1. AIX:
      • SDS license review, acceptance, and Install SDS 6.4.0.25:
        cd <path>/sdsV6.4/license
        ./idsLicense
              # Review and accept the license terms.
        cd ../images
        installp -acXgYd . idsldap.license* idsldap.clt* idsldap.msg64.en_US idsldap.srv* idsldap.web*

        # optionally you can install more language packs by including idsldap.msg64.<lang> in the same command.
      • Verify by using:
        lslpp -L idsldap*
         
    2. Linux x86_64 or Linux s390x:
      • SDS license review, acceptance, and Install SDS 6.4.0.25:
        cd <path>/sdsV6.4/license
        ./idsLicense
              # Review and accept the license terms.
        cd ../images
        rpm -ihv idsldap-license* idsldap-clt* idsldap-msg64-en* idsldap-srv* idsldap-web*

        # optionally you can install more language packs by including idsldap-msg64-<lang>* in the same command.
      • Verify by using:
        rpm -qa | grep -i idsldap
         
    3. Windows:
      • For the first-time installation, Refer to this document on how to install SDS and requisite products on Windows: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/sdse/6.4.0?topic=installation-starting-launchpad
         
  7. Apply the DB2 11.5 Standard and High Capacity licenses and verify:
    AIX
    cd <path>/sdsV6.4/db2lic
    /opt/IBM/db2/V11.5/adm/db2licm -a ./std_o/db2/license/db2std_o.lic
    /opt/IBM/db2/V11.5/adm/db2licm -a ./hc/db2/license/db2hc.lic
    /opt/IBM/db2/V11.5/adm/db2licm -l

    Linux:
    cd <path>/sdsV6.4/db2lic
    /opt/ibm/db2/V11.5/adm/db2licm -a ./std_o/db2/license/db2std_o.lic
    /opt/ibm/db2/V11.5/adm/db2licm -a ./hc/db2/license/db2hc.lic
    /opt/ibm/db2/V11.5/adm/db2licm -l

    Windows: From Start menu - Open the "DB2 Command Window - Administrator" for the DB2 11.5.7 installation copy.
    cd <path>\sdsV6.4\db2lic
    db2licm -a .\std_o\db2\license\db2std_o.lic
    db2licm -a .\hc\db2\license\db2hc.lic
    db2licm -l


    Also, remove the unwanted trial license of db2aese or db2dec
    db2licm -r db2aese
    db2licm -r db2dec


    Final license when viewed by using db2licm -l:
    Product name:                     "DB2 Standard Edition"
    License type:                     "Restricted"
    Expiry date:                      "Permanent"
    Product identifier:               "db2std"
    Version information:              "11.5"
    Features:
    IBM DB2 Performance Management Offering:              "Not licensed"
    IBM DB2 OEM High Capacity Feature:                    "Licensed"

     
  8. Verify the contents of SDS global ldapdb.properties file in <sds64_install_location>/etc/ folder:
    1. AIX:
      • Verify the ldapdb.properties file contents:
        cat /opt/IBM/ldap/V6.4/etc/ldapdb.properties
      • Expected output:
        currentDB2InstallPath=/opt/IBM/db2/V11.5
        currentDB2Version=11.5.7.0
    2. Linux:
      • Verify the ldapdb.properties file contents:
        cat /opt/ibm/ldap/V6.4/etc/ldapdb.properties
      • Expected output:
        currentDB2InstallPath=/opt/ibm/db2/V11.5
        currentDB2Version=11.5.7.0
    3. Windows:
      • Using a command window
        cd <sds64_install_location>\etc
        For example, 
        cd C:\Program Files\IBM\ldap\V6.4\etc
        type ldapdb.properties
      • Find the current DB2 11.5.7 installation path and version information by opening a "DB2 command window as Administrator".
        If you have multiple copies of DB2, use the correct DB2 11.5 installation copy from start menu to open "DB2 command window as Administrator". Run the command:
        db2level
      • Update contents of ldapdb.properties file by using a notepad as shown:
        currentDB2InstallPath=<supported_db2_install_location>
        currentDB2Version=<supported_db2_version_level>


        Example:
        currentDB2InstallPath=C:\Program Files\IBM\SQLLIB
        currentDB2Version=11.5.7000.2644

         
  9. Install IBM SDK Java:
    AIX
    cd <path>/sdsV6.4/ibm_jdk
    tar -xf 8.0.7.0-ISS-JAVA-AIX-FP000.tar -C /opt/IBM/ldap/V6.4/
    /opt/IBM/ldap/V6.4/java/bin/java -version

    Linux x86_64:
    cd <path>/sdsV6.4/ibm_jdk
    tar -xf 8.0.7.0-ISS-JAVA-LinuxX64-FP000.tar -C /opt/ibm/ldap/V6.4/
    /opt/ibm/ldap/V6.4/java/bin/java -version

    Linux s390x:
    cd <path>/sdsV6.4/ibm_jdk
    tar -xf 8.0.7.0-ISS-JAVA-Linuxz-FP000.tar -C /opt/ibm/ldap/V6.4/
    /opt/ibm/ldap/V6.4/java/bin/java -version

    Windows: IBM SDK Java gets installed along with SDS 6.4.0.25 during Step 6.
     
  10. Optionally install SDS provided "premium feature activation package":
    If you are using the "SDS Direct Entitled Part" (refer to table in bullet 1), then the "entitlement" folder is available inside the extracted "sdsV6.4" folder:
    • AIX
      cd <path>/sdsV6.4/entitlement
      installp -acXFYd . idsldap.ent64
    • Linux:
      cd <path>/sdsV6.4/entitlement
      rpm -ihv --force --nodeps idsldap-ent64-6.4.0-25*rpm
    • Windows:
      Refer: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/sdse/6.4.0?topic=manager-installing-premium-feature-activation-package-installation
       

Next Steps after successful SDS 6.4 installation:

  1. Create and configure a new SDS 6.4 instance
     
  2. Upgrade an instance of a previous version (V6.3 / V6.3.1) to SDS 6.4 instance:
  3. On an existing SDS 6.4 instance with DB2 10.5 or 11.1, upgrade the DB2 to 11.5 using "idsdbmigr" tool provided by SDS 6.4 (in sbin folder of SDS 6.4 installation)
    • Stop ibmslapd and ibmdiradm processes for the SDS 6.4 instance.
    • Upgrade DB2 instance associated with SDS 6.4 instance and its database to 11.5 level from 10.5 or 11.1 level:
      idsdbmigr -I <sds_instance_name> -N <db2_11.5_install_location>
