This SelectPak can be applied to IBM Directory and Security Server (DSS) to make the product year 2000-Ready. This SelectPak does not include any other fixes; it only includes those fixes necessary to make the product accept dates beyond the year 2000. If your SYSLEVEL is already higher than IPx8549 there is no need to apply this SelectPak because year 2000 fixes will be included in all FixPaks with numbers higher than this one. Important instructions on how to install this SelectPak are located in the file called README.Y2K, which you should print and read as soon as you download and unzip IPx8549.ZIP
