Novell Documentation: Novell SecretStore Developer Kit for C

1.4 Deployment Dependencies

You must install SSOCOMP, which is included in the Novell Developer Kit download to enable development and access to SecretStore in your applications. No other install dependencies are required to use this API.

This API allows applications to choose either NCP or LDAP access to eDirectory without requiring transport-specific functions. Like earlier versions of this service, the NCP protocol is only available on Windows clients and requires installation of the Novell Client on the workstation. However, the SecretStore LDAP client can be installed on the workstation or server without requiring the Novell Client, but LDAP SDK components should be installed in the target environment (LDAPSDK, LDAPSSL, and LDAPX).

To test and use an application that you have enabled with SecretStore, you need the client and server software listed below:

1.4.1 Server Requirements

Novell LDAP SDK for LDAP option.
NetWare® 6.x or 5.0 with Support Pack 1 or later versions (for eDirectory, whether running NetWare or Windows NT/2000 [eDirectory 8.7x]).
eDirectory or Novell Directory Services (the version installed with NetWare 5 or Windows NT). NetWare 5.1 with eDirectory 8.5 is required to use or install LDAP.

NOTE:If the product NDS® 8 for NetWare is listed, verify that it is 8.12 or later. If you are using NDS 8, make sure you use NetWare 5.0 Support Pack 1 or later.
Use Novell International Cryptographic Infrastructure (NICI) 1.5.7 or later on NetWare, or NICI 2.4.2 or later (the latest version is preferable) on the Windows client and server.

1.4.2 Client Requirements

Novell SecretStore service client software must be installed on a workstation running the Novell Client for Windows NT Version 4.5 or later, or Novell Client for Windows 95/98 Version 3.0 or later. Use the latest versions of the client for NCP access. ConsoleOne 1.3 or later. ConsoleOne 1.3 is installed with NetWare 6. To manage the network, a SecretStore service ConsoleOne snap-in is provided in the Novell SecureLogin service product.
