1.4.2 Changing the IP Address of Identity Server

These instructions assume that your Identity Server and Administration Console are not on the same machine. If they are on the same machine, see Changing the IP Address of Administration Console.

Perform the following steps to move a machine or change the IP address for Identity Server:

  1. Click Devices > Identity Servers.

  2. Select the Identity Server for which you require to change the IP address.

  3. Click Stop.

  4. Select the same Identity Server and click Actions > Remove from Cluster.

  5. Select the same Identity Server and click Actions > Delete.

  6. On Identity Server, stop the server communication service by using the following command:

    /etc/init.d/novell-jcc stop OR systemctl stop -jcc

  7. Change the IP address by using an operating system utility:

    Click YaST > Network Devices > Network Card, select a method, select the card, and click Edit.

  8. Change to the /opt/novell/devman/jcc directory:

  9. Run the conf/Configure.sh command.

    The command must be run from the jcc directory because it needs access to files that are available from this directory.

  10. When prompted for the local listener IP address, specify the new IP address.

  11. When prompted for the administration server IP, specify the IP address of Administration Console.

  12. Follow the prompts and accept the defaults for ports and admin user.

  13. Replace all references to the old IP address in the server.xml file with the new IP address.

    For information about how to edit a file, see Modifying Configurations.

  14. Re-import Identity Server with the new IP address into Administration Console.

    1. On the Identity Server machine, change to the /opt/novell/devman/jcc directory:

    2. Run the ./conf/reimport_nidp.sh jcc script for jcc.

    3. Run the ./conf/reimport_nidp.sh nidp script for Administration Console.

    4. Replace <admin> with the name of your Administration Console administrator.

    5. Add reimported Identity Server to the cluster.
