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. On the Home page, click Identity Servers > Server actions > Stop the Server for which you require to change the IP address.

  2. Click Server actions > Remove from this Cluster.

  3. Click Unassigned Servers and then select the same Identity Server. Click Cluster actions > Delete this Cluster.

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

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

  5. 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.

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

  7. 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.

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

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

  10. Follow the prompts and accept the defaults for ports and administrator user.

  11. Replace all references of 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.

  12. 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.

      NOTE:If these steps do not work, see Troubleshooting Identity Server Import and Installation in the NetIQ Access Manager CE 24.2 (v5.1) Installation and Upgrade Guide.

    5. Add reimported Identity Server to the cluster.
