The AFP NMAS methods were introduced in OES 2 SP3 for secure authentication purposes.
In case of a fresh installation you are not required to install the AFP NMAS methods. The methods are by default installed during the AFP server installation.
If you are upgrading from an OES 2 SP2 server or an OES 2 SP3 server to an OES 11 server, make sure you install the novell-afp-nmasmethods.rpm.
It is important to ensure that the AFP NMAS method installed has the latest update of patches.
To install patches for the AFP NMAS method, run the following script:
/opt/novell/afptpd/bin/install_afp_lsm.sh
This script prompts you to enter the Tree Admin of the eDirectory user and the password for the Tree Admin.
