This file contains installation instructions and issues related to Security Services 2.0.3 (Novell® Certificate ServerTM 3.2, NICI 2.7.0.2, NMASTM 3.1.2, and NTLS 2.0).
Security Services 2.0.3 can be installed on eDirectoryTM 8.7.3 SP8, eDirectoryTM 8.7.3 SP9, or eDirectoryTM 8.8 SP1. This bundle will install on the following platforms:
NOTE: If you are installing the Security Services 2.0.3 patch on a NetWare 6.5 server with eDirectory 8.8 SP1 installed, you MUST apply TID# 2974592 eDirectory Post 8.8 SP1 FTF1 for NetWare prior to applying the Security Services 2.0.3 patch or the install will hang. If you did not apply the eDirectory 8.8 SP1 FTF1 patch before installing the Security Services 2.0.3 patch and the installation hangs, apply the above patch and rerun the Security Services 2.0.3 install.
NOTE:The files included in this patch (Security Services 2.0.3) are the same files that ship with NetWare 6.5 SP6. If you have already installed NetWare 6.5 SP6, you do NOT need to install this patch. However, if you install NetWare 6.5 SP6 and then upgrade to eDirectoryTM 8.8 or eDirectoryTM 8.8 SP1, the eDirectory install will backrev NMAS, PKIS and NICI. If this happens, reapplying this patch is appropriate.
This bundle has been fully tested with Novell iManager 2.6 and partially tested with Novell iManager 2.5.
This bundle has been fully tested with eDirectoryTM 8.7.3 SP8, eDirectoryTM 8.7.3 SP9 and eDirectoryTM 8.8 SP1. Novell recommends one of these minimum versions be installed prior to installing Security Services 2.0.3.
The Security Services 2.0.3 patch installs Novell Certificate Server 3.2, NICI 2.7.0.2, NMAS 3.1.2, and NTLS 2.0 using one integrated install script.
NOTE: For NMAS Method updates on all platforms, download nmmthd273.tgz. To install NMAS methods, use methodInstaller.exe from a Windows workstation or nmasinst for the other platforms. Methods are installed once per tree.
If you have performed a minimal or custom install of Open Enterprise Server (OES), SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES), or Red Hat Advanced Server, you may be lacking a dependent module needed by this Security Services 2.0.3 patch. The Security Services 2.0.3 patch is dependent on the Compat library being installed on your server. You can identify the installation of this module on your server by running the following command:
rpm -qa |grep compat
For OES or SLES, look for this command to return compat-2004.7.1-1.2 or later.
For Red Hat, look for compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-132.7.2 or later.
If you don't have the Compat module installed, the module can be found on your install CDs.
Search for "Security Services" at the Novell Downloads Web site and download the necessary platform-specific download for the Security Services 2.0.3 patch.
On NetWare, Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, and AIX servers, extract the download to a temporary directory on the server.
For example, gzip -d -c ss203_SLAH.tgz | tar xvf -
Run the installation script.
NOTE: If you are installing the Security Services 2.0.3 patch on a NetWare 6.5 server with eDirectory 8.8 SP1 installed, you MUST apply TID# 2974592 eDirectory Post 8.8 SP1 FTF1 for NetWare prior to applying the Security Services 2.0.3 patch or the install will hang. If you did not apply the eDirectory 8.8 SP1 FTF1 patch before installing the Security Services 2.0.3 patch and the installation hangs, apply the above patch and rerun the Security Services 2.0.3 install.
On NetWare servers, load NWCONFIG and select Product Options > Install product not listed, then press Enter. Press F3 and enter the path to the extraction directory (for example, sys:temp\ss203_nw\), then follow the installation prompts.
On Windows servers, double-click the ss_setup.exe file.
On Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, and AIX servers, go to the extraction directory (for example, temp\ss203_SLAH\) and run the install.sh script. The script detects if you are on Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, or AIX and installs the corresponding packages. NOTE: If any component of the directory in the path for the Security Services install script contains a space, the install on Linux fails. Please verify the path for the install script does not contain any spaces.
This release of Security Services will not update the security components for an eDirectoryTM 8.8 tarball installation. Please install eDirectory 8.8 SP1 to update a tarball installation. You can download eDirectory 8.8 SP1 at the Novell Downloads Web site.
For detailed Certificate Server documentation, see the Certificate Server documentation Web site.
"The PKI install was unable to create the default IP and DNS certificates. Error -613. Do you want to retry?"
The -613 error is not a fatal error; however, Novell Certificate Server will not be able to create the auto-generated certificates which match the long DNS name.
To avoid this problem with future servers, make sure that the combined number of characters of the DNS name and the server name is fewer than 64 characters.
To fix this problem on an existing server, use iManager to manually create a server certificate using the DNS name or the IP address as the certificate subject name, depending on the needs of your applications.
See the Novell Certificate Server Administration Guide for instructions on how to create server certificates.
After the server certificate is created, the applications (Apache, Tomcat, etc.) on which you want to use the new server certificate must be configured to use it.
