Compatibility Matrix (https://knowledge.opentext.com/go/matrix) on
OpenText My Support.
Note
For Enterprise Directory Synchronization integration, OpenText strongly
recommends that you use the same OTDS version. In some cases, your
OTDS version can be higher than your Enterprise Directory
Synchronization version due to OTDS’ backward compatibilities. It is
always considered the 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.
• OpenText Directory Services 22.3 supports direct upgrade from release 16. For additional
information, please refer to the OpenText Directory Services Installation and Administration

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 22.3.0. OpenText
recommends that you check OpenText My Support 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.
7 Hotfixes
Hotfixes are small patches that address software issues. Typically, there is no new functionality in a
hotfix. Hotfixes can be cumulative. Hotfixes for OTDS can be found:
