Installation guide
Installing or Upgrading NetIQ eDirectory on Windows 63
Admin Password=netiq
NDS Location=E:\Novell\NDS
DataDir=E:\Novell\NDS\Files
You can also configure two additional parameters:
Installation Location: This is the same as the NDS Location configured in the previous section.
This location is used by the Installer while copying files to the install location, and the other
location is used by the components to refer to the base eDirectory installation while they are
configured. The default value is
C:\Novell\NDS
, if not specified in the response file.
For example:
[Novell:DST:1.0.0_Location]
Path=file:/C:\Novell\NDS
System Location: The eDirectory Installer requires access to the system folder to copy DLLs and
to access system-specific files during installation. This parameter must be configured with the
path to the system folder of the machine where the server is installed.
For example:
[Novell:SYS32_DST:1.0.0_Location]
Path=file:/C:\Windows\system32
Adding NMAS Methods
eDirectory supports installation of multiple NMAS methods, both during install and upgrade.
During manual installations, you can select the NMAS methods to install and configure. This can also
be achieved in automated installations.
The NMAS-related configuration settings are provided inside the [NWI:NMAS] tag. The tag has two
keys to be configured, and both are mandatory:
Choices: This key informs the eDirectory installation component on the number of NMAS
methods that need to be installed.
Methods: This key lists the NMAS method options that need to be installed. Currently, there are
12 supported NMAS methods. The method names and their types are as follows:
