5.1 Installing Nsure Audit with Open Enterprise Server

  1. Start the Open Enterprise Server (OES) installation.

  2. In the Choose a Pattern window, select the Novell Nsure Audit Starter Pack.

    • Select Pre-Configured Server > Novell Nsure Audit Starter Pack.

      or

    • Select Customized NetWare Server and mark the following components:
      • Apache Web Server and Tomcat Servlet Container
      • MySQL (if you want to configure the MySQL data store during installation)
      • Novell Nsure Audit Starter Pack
      • iManager

  3. In the Summary window, review the products to be installed, then click Copy Files.

  4. When the installation program displays the Component Selection window for the Novell Nsure Audit Starter Pack, select the program components you want to install.

    • Install Secure Logging Server: Installs the Secure Logging Server (lengine.nlm), the Multiple Directory Database (mdb.nlm), and the channel drivers (lgd*.nlm) to the current server. It also creates a Logging Server object in the Logging Services container.

      You need at least one Secure Logging Server in your network.

      • Autoconfigure MySQL: creates the MySQL Channel object in the Logging Services' Channel container and configures the Secure Logging Server to log events to the MySQL database. If you select this option, you must install MySQL with the OES install. (See Step 2.)

        WARNING:The MySQL Channel object is created with a default Expiration script that runs every night at midnight and automatically deletes every record older than 12 hours. This was done because the default events logged by the NetWare and eDirectory instrumentations quickly fill the database. To remove this setting, simply delete the script from the SQL Expiration Commands property in the MySQL Channel object and restart the Secure Logging Server. For more information, see MySQL Channel Object in the Novell Nsure Audit 1.0.3 Administration Guide.

    • Install Platform Agent installs and configures the Platform Agent (logevent.nlm), the Caching Module (lcache.nlm), and the NetWare and eDirectory instrumentations (auditNW.nlm and auditDS.nlm respectively).

      You must install the Platform Agent on every workstation or server that is running an application that logs events to Novell Nsure Audit. To enable NetWare and file system logging, the NetWare instrumentation must be installed and loaded on every server on which you want to log NetWare and file system events. To log eDirectory events, auditDS must be installed and loaded on one server per DS Replica.

      • Secure Logging Server Address is the IP address or host name of the Secure Logging Server that the Platform Agent connects to.

  5. If you selected the Autoconfigure MySQL option, the installation program displays the Database Options window so you can define your MySQL data store.

    • MySQL Database Host: The IP Address or host name of the MySQL database server.
    • Port: Defines the port at which the Secure Logging Server connects to the database server. If this field is left blank, the Secure Logging Server uses the default MySQL port assignment, 3306.
    • DB Username: User account the Secure Logging Server uses to log in to the database. This account has all privileges to the default database and can log in from any IP address. The default username for the OES data store is “auditusr.”
    • DB User Password: Password the logging server uses to authenticate with the database. You must confirm this password. The default password for the OES data store is “auditpwd.”
    • Database Name: Name of the database to which the logging server writes events. The default database name is “naudit.”
    • Table Name: Database table to which the logging server writes events. The default table is “log.”

  6. Follow the prompts to complete the rest of the OES install.

Upon completing the installation, you must restart the server or manually launch the installed components. For the program startup commands, see Commands and Utilities in the Novell Nsure Audit 1.0.3 Administration Guide.
