If you have a secure logging server with more than one IP address, you need to configure the server to run Novell Audit. Secure logging servers with more than one IP address have problems running Novell Audit because MDB does not know which IP address to use with eDirectory™. You can point Novell Audit to a specific IP address by using an MDB configuration file.
To point Novell Audit to a specific IP address for eDirectory:
Log in to the SLES server as admin.
From the menu, select .
Log in as root by entering su, then enter the root password.
To create the file, enter gedit /etc/mdb.conf.
Add the following line: driver=mdbds referral=172.17.2.117.
Click to save the file, then click to exit.
Enter exit twice to log out as root and close the Gnome Terminal.
Proceed to Section 12.2, Installing Novell Audit.
