Installing Novell BorderManager 3.7 on a NetWare 5.1 SP 4 or 6.0 SP 1 Server

To install Novell BorderManager 3.7 on the server:

  1. If you do not have above mentioned NetWare OS, install the NetWare 5.1 Support Pack 4 or NetWare 6.0 Support Pack 1 or later software on your server.

  2. Mount NBM 3.7 CD from server by typing CDROM on server console.

  3. On the server side, go to X-Server Graphical Console. If X-Server Graphical Console is not loaded, type STARTX on server console.

    If STARTX was already loaded, press Cntrl-Esc and select the X-Server Graphical Console.

    Installation of Novell BorderManager 3.7 from NWCONFIG is disabled. Install can be done only from the X-Server graphical console.

  4. Click the Novell logo, then select Install to display the currently installed products.

  5. Click Add > browse to the root of the CD and click OK.

  6. On the Welcome page > Next.

  7. Read the license agreement. If you accept the terms of the agreement, click I Accept.

  8. Check the check box for each BorderManager service you want to install.

    NOTE:  Irrespective of what BorderManager services you select, licenses for all the services will be installed.

  9. To install the license now, insert the Novell BorderManager 3.7 License diskette and enter the path to the license (for example A:\LICENSE) and click Next. Otherwise, check the Skip License Install check box and click Next so that it can be installed later.

    Valid licenses are located on the diskette in the A:\LICENSE directory. Trial licenses are located on the CD-ROM in the SAMPLE LICENSE directory. You can install the system files without installing the license; however, Novell BorderManager 3.7 will not load until a valid or trial license is installed.

  10. At the login dialog, log in to the eDirectory tree with a fully distinguished name (with administrative rights).

    You must have administrative rights to the root of the eDirectory tree. This requirement applies to any user who is a trustee with Supervisor rights at a container at the same level as the server. Administrative rights are required to extend the eDirectory schema, install product licenses, and configure Novell BorderManager 3.7 for the first time.

    If you are installing BorderManager firewall/caching services or BorderManager VPN services, review the list of network interfaces and their IP bindings. Specify each interface as public, private, or both.

  11. For both firewall/caching and VPN services, you must specify a public IP address to use with BorderManager to secure your network border. Public IP addresses specify server interfaces to a public network, typically the Internet. Private IP addresses specify server interfaces to a private network or intranet.

    1. Specify a public IP address.

      Specifying an interface as public makes the Set Filters to Secure All Public Interfaces check box available. Check this check box to deny all traffic from into and out of the public interfaces. If this is an upgrade, existing filters are preserved and deny all filters are not set on public interfaces.

    2. Specify a private IP address.

    3. Enter the default gateway and if the gateway field is empty add a default gateway before proceeding with install.

    4. Click Next.

      If you have not specified a private IP Address go to Step 14, else go to Step 12.

  12. Check the check boxes for the services that you want to enable. Filter exceptions for these services will be created on the public interface. Click Next.

    The Mail and News Services would have to be manually configured.

    NOTE:  If there is only one interface and that is a public filter, exceptions will not be created.

  13. The check box for Access Control is enabled by default. We recommend that you accept the default. Access control enforces additional security by denying all traffic. Access control rules can be set using the NetWare® Administrator utility. Access rules are used to allow or deny access from any source or to any destination. This option comes up only if you select Any Services on the previous screen.

  14. Enter a unique DNS domain name for your network > click Next.

  15. Click Add to enter at least one or up to three DNS server IP addresses.

    By default the existing DNS entry would be taken.

  16. Click Finish if you are done or click Back to return to previous windows and modify your selections.

  17. Do one of the following:

    • Click Readme to view the Readme file.
    • Click Reboot for Novell BorderManager 3.7 services to come up.
    • Click Close to complete the installation and return to the GUI screen.

  18. After rebooting make sure that FILTSRV.NLM is not loaded. If it is loaded, unload it. If it fails to unload, unload IPFILT.NLM and FILT.NLM and then unload FILTSRV.NLM.

  19. Enter FILTSRV MIGRATE on the console prompt to migrate existing filters to eDirectory.

  20. Unload FILTSRV and load it in normal mode (Enter FILTSRV on the console prompt).

NOTE:  In case of a web download of the trial version:

Restart your server at the console prompt by entering

server

From the client side, map the server on which you wish to install the Novell BorderManager 3.7 product and revert to Step 3.
