Running the eGuide Quick Setup Wizard

Before you can use Novell eGuide, you must run the Quick Setup Wizard. Complete the following after you've installed eGuide:

1. Enter the following URL in your browser:

   http://web_server/eGuide/admin/index.html (case sensitive)

   Replace web_server with the host name or IP address of the Web server where you installed eGuide.

   IMPORTANT:  The "eGuide" portion of the URL shown above is case sensitive. You must type it exactly as shown (with a capital "G" and all other letters in lowercase). Also, depending on how your Web server and Web application server are configured, you might need to include a port number with the Web server name/IP address (in the format web_server:port_number). The port number depends on your Web server configuration.

   NOTE:  If the Quick Setup Wizard fails to start, you might need to modify the configuration of your Web server or servlet engine in order to make the eGuide application accessible. The configuration requirements vary depending on the specific Web server. Consult your Web server documentation for details. Be aware that you might need to restart your Web server and servlet engine after reconfiguring them.

2. Follow the prompts to set up the first LDAP data source you want to search with eGuide.

   The Quick Setup Wizard automatically launches the eGuide Administration Utility when it is finished. You can use the Administration Utility to further configure and customize eGuide. For details, see Using the eGuide Administration Utility .

   Though further configuration is usually not necessary in order to begin using eGuide, it might be necessary if

   • The LDAP data source you configure in the wizard does not contain the same schema classes that eGuide uses by default.

     By default, eGuide creates a User search category and attempts to add the following schema classes to that category: InetOrgPerson, OrganizationalPerson, and Person. If any of these classes does not exist in the LDAP data source you configure in the Quick Setup Wizard, you might need to add one or more schema classes to the User search category so eGuide can access all the needed information in the LDAP data source. For details on adding a schema class to a search category, see Adding and Removing Schema Classes from a Search Category .

   • You do not want the authentication credentials you entered in the wizard used as the default proxy credentials in eGuide. For details on setting additional proxy credentials in eGuide, see Editing LDAP Settings .
