Installation guide

62 NetIQ eDirectory 8.8 SP8 Installation Guide
 mode: The type of setup on eDirectory. The three types of setup are:
 install: Performs installation of eDirectory or an upgrade of the required files.
 configure: Configures eDirectory. If you only perform an upgrade of the required files, then
the installer only configures the upgraded files.
 full: Performs both installation and configuration of eDirectory. This type of installation can
either be installation and configuration of eDirectory or an upgrade and configuration of
only the required files.
By default, the mode key is set to full.
NOTE: If you opt for the full setup mode, then while uninstalling eDirectory you cannot opt for
individual deconfiguration and uninstallation option.
 Tree Name: For a primary server installation, this is the name of the tree that needs to installed.
For a secondary server installation, this is the tree to which this server must be added.
 Server Name: The name of the server that is being installed.
 Server Container: Any server added to a tree has a server object containing all the configuration
details specific to the server. This parameter is the container object in the tree to which the server
object will be added. For primary server installations, this container will be created with the
server object.
 Admin Login Name: The name (RDN) of the Administrator object in the tree that has full rights,
at least to the context to which this server is added. All operations in the tree will be performed
as this user.
 Admin Context: Any user added to a tree has a user object that contains all the user-specific
details. This parameter is the container object in the tree to which the Administrator object will
be added. For primary server installations, this container will be created with the server object.
 Admin password: The password for the Administrator object created in the previous
parameters. This password will be configured to the Administrator object during primary server
installations. For secondary server installations, this needs to be the password of the
Administrator object in the primary server that has rights to the context to which the new server
is added.
 NDS Location: The eDirectory install location in the local system where the libraries and
binaries are copied. By default, eDirectory is installed into
C:\Novell\NDS unless it is changed
in the response file.
 DataDir: Until eDirectory version 8.8, the DIB was installed inside the NDS location as a
subfolder. Later, administrators were given the option to provide a different DIB location,
because there might be too much data stored in the DIB to fit into the NDS location. Currently,
by default the DIB is installed in the
Files subfolder inside the NDS location, but administrators
can change this parameter and provide a different location.
