8.1 Verifying the Installation

Perform these tasks to verify that eDirectory and DSfW have been installed and configured correctly. These tasks might require certain environment variable settings to be updated. You must either restart the OES server or logout of the OES server and login again to update the necessary environment variables.

NOTE:After you have installed a child domain or an additional domain controller, the DNS server running at forest root domain (or the DNS server you are pointing to in /etc/resolv.conf file) must be restarted. Execute the following command on the server hosting the Novell DNS service:

rcnovell-named restart

Check the /etc/hosts file to ensure that it contains only one entry with this server’s primary IP address. For example:

192.168.1.1 oesdc.dsfw.com oesdc
Check the /etc/resolv.conf file to ensure that it contains a name server and domain search entry for server on which DNS is hosted. For example:
```
nameserver 192.168.1.1
search dsfw.com
```
If you reconfigure the LAN settings using YaST, ensure that the loopback IP address. .(except 172.0.0.1) is not active in /etc/hosts.

Verify that eDirectory has been properly configured by using the following command:

/opt/novell/eDirectory/bin/ndsstat -h localhost

This command returns information similar to the following:

Tree Name: DSFW_TREE

Server Name:.CN=OESDC.OU=OESSystemObjects.dc=dsfw.dc=com.T=DSFW_TREE

Binary Version: 20217.06

Root Most Entry Depth: 0

Product Version: eDirectory for Linux v8.8 SP5 [DS]

Execute xadcntrl validate at the terminal prompt.

If the services are configured correctly, the result of the command will be similar to the following output:

Tree Name: DSFW-TREE
Server Name: .CN=testfrd.OU=OESSystemObjects.dc=dsfw.dc=com.T=DSFW-TREE.
Binary Version: 20501.00

rpcclient -k localhost –c dsroledominfo

If your server is configured correctly, you should see information similar to the following:
```
Machine Role = [5] 
```
```
Directory Service is running.
```
```
Domain is in native mode.
