1 ZfS 3.0.2 can be installed in a mixed eDirectory environment, such as servers in the directory tree containing an earlier version of eDirectory (NDS® 6.x or 7.x). ZfS 3.0.2 requires eDirectory 8.x to be installed, but not necessarily on the server where you are installing the ZfS software. eDirectory 8.x must simply be installed somewhere in the network so that ZfS objects can be placed in the tree during installation of the product. The only requirement for any server where you install ZfS is that it can communicate with the server where eDirectory is installed.
