updates made after a release are available for download on OpenText
My Support (https://support.opentext.com).
If no service pack, maintenance level, patch level or similar is explicitly mentioned for a
specific software version, then OpenText supports all released by the manufacturer for this

Note
For Enterprise Directory Synchronization integration, it is highly
recommended to use the same corresponding OTDS version. In
cases OTDS version can be higher than Enterprise Directory
Synchronization due to OTDS’ backward compatibilities. It is
considered best practice to use the latest versions whenever
possible.

• When patching Directory Services, it is crucial that the patch is executed from an elevated
command line as outlined in the OpenText Directory Services Installation and Administration
Guide.
• On Windows, an OpenDJ Server service will be created. You can now choose to run OpenDJ
under a LocalSystem account, while Tomcat runs under a LocalService account.
• On UNIX and Linux, OpenDJ must be manually started, or a daemon/service must be
registered for it. In addition, the OPENDJ_JAVA_HOME environment variable must be
defined to point to the JDK/JRE to be used to run OpenDJ.
• OpenText Directory Services 16 supports direct upgrade from release 10.5.0. For additional
information, please refer to the OpenText Directory Services Installation and Administration
Guide.
6 Patches
A patch is a piece of software that is designed to fix or improve a computer program or its supporting
data. These may include repairs to security vulnerabilities or resolution of bugs, and may also improve
usability or performance. On OpenText My Support you will find two general types of patches.
Hotfixes are also known as quick-fixes or bug fixes. Updates are also known as service packs or
service releases.
The following patches must be applied to Open Text Directory Services 20.4.2. OpenText
recommends that you check OpenText My Support (https://support.opentext.com) for any patches or
documentation updates that may have been posted after this release.
Note: If you are using two-factor authentication functionality provided by OTDS, and you have two-
factor authentication settings configured on a specific group(s), you must run a repair operation on
that group.
In OTDS administration, select Actions->Consolidate-> Verify and Repair on the specific group(s) in
order for the two-factor authentication settings to remain in effect for the users of the group.
If two-factor authentication settings were configured on a partition or on specific users only, no action
is required.
