B.0 Installing and Configuring the Novell Client Password Intercept

If you use password replication in your Novell® Identity Manager Fan-Out driver configuration, you must ensure that the driver is notified of changes to passwords.

If your eDirectory™ is configured to fully support Universal Password, the driver is notified of password changes in eDirectory. If you do not use Universal Password, you must install and configure the appropriate password intercepts. You must install the Novell Client™ Password Intercept on each Windows workstation that uses eDirectory.

To install and configure the Novell Client Password Intercept:

  1. Verify that the Novell Client version is current.

    • Version 4.8 or later for Windows NT*, Windows 2000, and Windows XP

    • Version 3.3 or later for Windows 95 and Windows 98

  2. Retrieve the Novell Client Password Intercept installation program from the distribution package intercepts\client32 directory.

  3. Close all running applications.

  4. Run the installation program and respond to the prompts.

    Be sure to use the correct core driver port number.

    If you receive an error message stating that the asamplat.conf file already exists, you can usually ignore it, because a previous installation has configured this file. To verify this, look at asamplat.conf in your Windows directory, and ensure that all core driver configurations are correct.

  5. Reboot to let the in-use files be copied.

IMPORTANT:If you upgrade the Novell Client, you must reinstall the password intercept.

When you install the Novell Client Password Intercept on a Windows system, the following actions are performed:

  1. The following files are copied to the Windows system directory:

    • ampm.dll

    • amserver.exe

    • ascauth.dll

    • audwin32.dll

    • calwin32.dll

    • clnwin32.dll

    • clnwinth.dll (if the system is Windows 95 or Windows 98)

    • clxwin32.dll

    • locwin32.dll

    • ncpwin32.dll

    • netwin32.dll

  2. The following registry entry is created:

    • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Novell\ASAM\3.0\ NovellClientIntercept

  3. The asamplat.conf file is created or updated. The default location for asamplat.conf is in the Windows operating system directory. You can enter the command echo %windir% at a command prompt to determine the location of your Windows operating system directory.
