Modifying Service Authentication Settings Created by the NNLS Installation

During installation, NNLS services and their associated management tools are configured to point to an eDirectory server for authentication.

You can change the authentication settings for each service or tool by completing the steps outlined in Table 7.


Table 7. Modifying Service Authentication Settings

NNLS Component Instructions

DirXML® Starter Pack

Authentication to configure and manage DirXML is handled through iManager.

eGuide

eGuide authentication is managed through the iManager Virtual Office plug-in.

iFolder®

See the instructions in "Replacing a User LDAP Server for a Linux-Based iFolder 2.1.2 Server" in the Novell iFolder 2.1 Installation and Administration Guide.

iManager

Use a standard UNIX editor to modify the System.Directory/Address= entry in the /var/opt/novell/iManager/nps/WEB-INF/PortalServlet.properties file.

For example, change

System.DirectoryAddress=10.1.1.1\:636

to

System.DirectoryAddress=10.1.1.2\:636

iPrint

Use a standard UNIX editor to modify the AuthLDAPURL entry in /etc/opt/novell/iprint/httpd/conf/ipp.conf.

For example, change

AuthLDAPURL "ldaps://10.1.1.1/o=acme???(objectClass=user)"

to

AuthLDAPURL "ldaps://10.1.1.2/o=acme???(objectClass=user)"

Linux User Management

Use a standard UNIX editor to modify the preferred-server= entry in the /etc/nam.conf file.

For example, change

preferred-server=10.1.1.1

to

preferred-server=10.1.1.2

NetMailTM

NetMail requires that users authenticate through eDirectory installed and running on the same NNLS server.

NetStorage

NetStorage authentication is managed using iManager. See the online help for the Authentication Domains task in the File Access (NetStorage) role.

Samba

Use a standard UNIX editor to modify the ldap server= entry in the /etc/opt/novell/samba/smb.conf.

For example, change

ldap server=10.1.1.1

to

ldap server=10.1.1.2

Virtual Office

Virtual Office leverages the iManager LDAP configuration.

WebAdmin (RCD management)
