Installation Planning

If you are planning to install the first server in a new eDirectory tree, skip to eDirectory. Otherwise start with the information in Planning to Install into an Existing Tree.

The following sections are included in Installation Planning:


Planning to Install into an Existing Tree

The information in this section applies whenever you are planning to install an NNLS server into an existing eDirectory tree.

This could be the first NNLS server in a tree created when you installed eDirectory on another platform, such as NetWare® or Windows* 2000. Or it could be the second, third, etc., NNLS server installed in a tree created by an NNLS installation.


eDirectory Settings Default to a Single Server

To facilitate the installation of the first server in a new tree, the installation script uses the eDirectory information you have specified as the default for each eDirectory parameter that follows.

This also applies when you are installing NNLS into an existing eDirectory tree.

  1. After the script prompts for the Tree Name, it requests an Existing eDirectory Server IP Address using the following prompt: 
    Enter the Existing Server IP Address:
  2. The IP address or DNS name you enter is used to establish a connection with the target tree using the admin name and password that you also enter.

    This connection is required for eDirectory installation operations such as schema extensions and object creation.

  3. The install script then uses this IP address or DNS name as the default setting for other eDirectory settings, as summarized in Table 4.

    IMPORTANT:  When the address is used for installation purposes, it must point to an eDirectory server that has a master or read/write replica of eDirectory installed to allow for schema extensions and other installation-related operations.

    On the other hand, although servers responsible for fielding authentication requests must also have eDirectory installed, they need not contain a master or read/write replica.


Specifying Nondefault Settings

As you install the second, third, etc., server in your tree, you will want to start replacing the default eDirectory addresses or names proposed by the installation script with the addresses or names of eDirectory servers that meet the installation or authentication requirements for the component you are installing.


Changing eDirectory Authentication Settings

After you have installed a service, if you need to change the eDirectory authentication configuration, see "Modifying Service Authentication Settings Created by the NNLS Installation" in the Novell Nterprise Linux Services Overview, Planning, and Implementation Guide.
