The eDirectory 8.7 installation program supports installations by administrators who has supervisor rights to the container that the server resides in. In order to handle this, the first server that eDirectory 8.7 is installed into must have supervisor rights to [Root] to extend the schema. From that point on, subsequent servers do not have to have rights to [Root]. However, with eDirectory 8.7, depending on the platform that eDirectory 8.7 is installed in to first, all schema might not be extended, requiring supervisor rights to [Root] for subsequent server installations on different platforms.
If eDirectory 8.7 will be installed on multiple platforms, make sure that you have supervisor rights to [Root] for the first server eDirectory will be installed on for EACH platform. For example, if the first server that eDirectory 8.7 is going to be installed on is running NetWare, and eDirectory 8.7 will also be installed on Solaris, the first server for each platform must have supervisor rights to [Root]. Subsequent servers on each platform will only have to have container administrator rights to the container where the server is being installed.
