On a non- DSfW Server, if you restart eDirectory, the following error message is received: “Method load failed: libxadnds.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.”
This is because three NMAS methods (IPCExternal, Kerberos, and Negotiate) fail to load on the server. These NMAS methods that are specific to DSfW are part of the novell-xad-nmas-methods rpm and depend on the libraries from the novell-xad-framework rpm. Since the novell-xad-framework rpm is part of the DSfW pattern and is installed only on a DSfW server, you receive this error message on a non-DSfW server.
If you receive this error message, you can ignore this message as these DSfW NMAS methods do not function in a non-DSfW server and do not impact any eDirectory functionality.
