I think there is a bug in Identity Console 1.8 installer (Linux, non-docker). It costed me several hours to figure that out, so maybe this is useful for someone else.

I installed on OES 24.3, without OSP integration, with CA certificate import, with and without "generate the Server Certificate". I always saw this at the end of the installation:

Error opening file: /etc/opt/novell/eDirAPI/cert/keys.pfx
err = -1
[ERROR] Wrong server certificate password. Exiting. 

I finally found that "Wrong server certificate password" is not true, while "Error opening file" is true. This is because the installer runs as root, but parts of the process and Identity Console itself are running as user "nds".

Workaround: create /etc/opt/novell/eDirAPI/cert/keys.pfx with owner nds before running the installer.

x:/ins/IdentityConsole_180_Linux # md /etc/opt/novell/eDirAPI/cert/

x:/ins/IdentityConsole_180_Linux # cp /root/keys.pfx /etc/opt/novell/eDirAPI/cert/keys.pfx

x:/ins/IdentityConsole_180_Linux # chown -R nds:nds /etc/opt/novell/eDirAPI/

x:/ins/IdentityConsole_180_Linux # ll /etc/opt/novell/eDirAPI/cert/
total 4
-rw------- 1 nds nds 4018 Sep  6 11:23 keys.pfx

x:/ins/IdentityConsole_180_Linux # ./identityconsole_install  

..
