(1) Rules and notes

  1. The option program products are provided as key modules (the HiRDB LDAP Option is provided as a library).
  2. An option program product key module is copied directly below the HiRDB installation directory. The HiRDB LDAP Option library is copied below the %PDDIR%\hirdb_ldap_sods directory.
  3. To install an option program product, the HiRDB service must be in terminated status. If the HiRDB service has been started, the installation will terminate.
  4. If you have upgraded HiRDB, you need to install the option program product for the new HiRDB version. If you have changed the HiRDB installation directory, you need to reinstall option program product.
  5. Only a user in the Administrators group can install option program product.
  6. If HiRDB is not installed, option program product cannot be installed.
  7. When uninstalling option program product, make sure that the HiRDB service is stopped. If option program product is uninstalled, all the information that was copied and specified during installation is deleted.
  8. To install option program product on a HiRDB with a setup identifier, specify the same setup identifier as the corresponding HiRDB.
