Installation Issues

  1. The NMAS Server Install deletes the files SECURITYSERVICES.JAR and SECURITYSERVICESRES.JAR within the respective ConsoleOne LIB\SECURITY and RESOURCES\SECURITY directories.
  2. If you are upgrading your Certificate Server from a version prior to 2.0 as part of your installation of NMAS, you will need to re-export any trusted root certificates you will use with the Advanced x.509 method. (261703)
  3. When installing NMAS server to Windows NT or 2000, a dialog box may pop up informing you that it is necessary for NMAS to shut down eDirectory. After clicking OK on this dialog box, the installation may fail.

    If this happens, restart the NMAS server installation. When the dialog box appears again, you will need to manually shut down eDirectory. Do this by going into Control Panel and clicking NDS. Highlight the file DS.DLM (Novell Directory Services) and click Stop. Once the directory services has been stopped, you can return to the dialog box, click OK, and the installation will continue properly.

  4. It is strongly recommended that you upgrade all previous versions of NMAS to this version on all servers. (270480)
  5. NMAS is defined as a core service once it is installed because other services (such as NDS eDirectory) may auto-integrate to use NMAS features. Because of these dependencies, it is not possible to fully uninstall this release of NMAS. However, you may disable NMAS on a server-by-server basis by performing the following steps:

    NetWare:

    1. Remove the file NMAS.NLM in SYS:\SYSTEM.
    2. Restart the server.

    Windows NT/2000 with Novell eDirectory:

    1. Stop the NDS eDirectory Service.
    2. Remove the file NMAS.DLM.
    3. Restart the service. (270306)
  6. You must have NMAS installed on a server that holds a writeable replica of the user's object in order for the user to use NMAS. (270223)
  7. If you install Client 32 after you have installed the NMAS client, the NMAS tab will not appear on the Client 32 login screen. 305826
  8. If during the NMAS Server Installation the target server were to go down, or there were network communication problems sufficient to cause the install to fail, it is possible that one of the installation programs LAUNCH.EXE may remain loaded, and need to be unloaded manually.

    Symptom: When you launch the install again, the "NMAS Server Components" check box is grayed out and not selectable.

    Solution: Kill the LAUNCH.EXE process. This can be done by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Delete and selecting Task List. On the Processes tab, select LAUNCH.EXE and click End Process.
