Installation of password synchronization plug-ins

You must install the password synchronization plug-ins by using the standard Security Directory Integrator installer.

On Windows platform, the user ID to install the SDI password synchronization plug-ins must be that of the administrator or a member of the administrators' group. On UNIX platform, the installer requires that the user must be the root user. The installer fails if the user does not have these privileges.

For more information about platform requirements for each password synchronization plug-in, see the "Supported Platforms" section in each of the password synchronization plug-in chapter.

We can install the SDI v7.2 password synchronization plug-ins by using the standard SDI installer. See SDI v7.2 Installation and Administrator Guide for the installation instructions.

Instead of installing the main product, you must choose a custom installation, and select the Password Synchronization plug-ins option.

1. Start the installer either from the command line, or double-click the installer (on Windows).
2. Select the installation directory for password synchronization plug-ins.
3. Select Custom.
4. Select Password Synchronization Plug-ins. All the plug-ins are installed in the TDI_install_dir/pwd_plugins directory.

After the installation of password synchronization plug-ins, you must complete several post-installation tasks.

• Upgrading and migrating password synchronization plug-ins
  You must save the existing configuration files of the password synchronization plug-ins before you install the new version.
