The ndsconfig Utility

You can use the ndsconfig utility to configure eDirectory. This utility can also be used to add the eDirectory Replica Server into an existing tree or to create a new tree. For more information, see Using the ndsconfig Utility to Add or Remove the eDirectory Replica Server.

NOTE:  Ensure that the NCP^TM server name is unique in the network.

To change the current configuration of the installed components, use the following syntax:

ndsconfig {set value_list | get [parameter_list] | get help [parameter_list]}

Refer to ndsconfig Utility Parameters for a description of ndsconfig parameters.

Using the ldapconfig Utility to Configure the LDAP Server and LDAP Group Objects

You can use the LDAP configuration utility, ldapconfig, on Linux, Solaris, and AIX systems to modify, view, and refresh the attributes of LDAP Server and Group objects.

For more information, see "Using the ldapconfig Utility on UNIX" in the Novell eDirectory 8.7.3 Administration Guide.

Using the nmasinst Utility to Configure Novell Modular Authentication Service

For eDirectory 8.7.3, by default, ndsconfig configures NMAS. You can also use nmasinst on Linux, Solaris, and AIX systems to configure NMAS.

ndsconfig only configures NMAS and does not install the login methods. To install these login methods, you can use nmasinst. For more information, see Using the nmasinst Utility to Configure NMAS .
