Installing NetWare Administrator Snap-In Modules

NetWare Administrator snap-in modules allow you to enable, configure, and manage Novell BorderManager 3.7 components, such as Proxy Services, the Novell IP Gateway, VPN, BorderManager Authentication Services, and access control.

The Novell Clinet version 4.8 or later is required for Windows NT, 2000 and XP. Novell Client version 3.3 or later is required for Windows 98 and ME.

The Novell BorderManager 3.7 installation utility installs the 32-bit client NetWare Administrator snap-in modules on the server. You may administer your BorderManager servers by running NWADMN32.EXE from the server's SYS:\PUBLIC\WIN32 directory.

If you prefer to manage your Novell BorderManager 3.7 servers and other eDirectory objects from a single, centralized adminstrative console, you must install the NetWare Administrator snap-in modules to the desired NetWare Administrator workstation deployed in your network.

To install the snap-in modules:

  1. Launch the version of NetWare Administrator to which you want to install the snap-in modules, verify that it is working properly, then exit the utility.

  2. From your administrator workstation, map a drive to the SYS: volume of the Novell BorderManager 3.7 server and launch the Novell BorderManager 3.7 Setup program (SETUP.EXE).

    The Novell BorderManager 3.7 SETUP.EXE program is located on the server in the path SYS:\PUBLIC\BRDRMGR\SNAPINS.

  3. Follow the instructions provided by the installation wizard.

    During the snap-in module installation, you are prompted for the location of your administrator files. Usually, administrator files are located on SYS: volume of the server in the \PUBLIC\WIN32, \PUBLICWIN95. or \PUBLIC\WINNT directories. If you want to install the Novell BorderManager 3.7 snap-in modules into a centralized NetWare Administrator 32 location, specify the directory where your centralized NWADMN32.EXE resides (for example, SYS:\PUBLIC\WIN32).

  4. After the snap-in modules are installed, exit the installation wizard.
