Novell Audit can be installed on NetWare® 6.5 SP3 or OES 1.0 SP1 (NetWare kernel).
IMPORTANT:When you install the full version of Novell Audit, the license file (*.nlf) is installed with the product and the product is automatically activated; that is, you can configure all the product channels and instrumentations.
If you install the Novell Audit Starter Pack, the product is not licensed and you have only limited functionality. If you want to upgrade to the full version, you must purchase a product license. For more information on activating the full version of Novell Audit, see Section 5.5, Activating Novell Audit.
To install Novell Audit on NetWare:
On the NetWare server, insert, and if necessary, mount the Novell Audit installation CD.
Load nwconfig.nlm at the server console.
In NWConfig, select
> .Press F3 (F4 if you’re using RCONSOLE) and specify the path to the directory where the installation program can find the base.ips file, which is located in the NetWare directory on the installation CD.
Select your install options.
Unlike previous versions of Novell Audit, the installation options are not specific to new or upgrade installations. For a complete first-time or upgrade installation, we recommend you select all the options.
The installation options are outlined in the following table.
Option |
Description |
---|---|
Install Novell Audit Instrumentation Agents |
Installs the NetWare Instrumentation (auditNW.nlm) and the eDirectory™ Instrumentation (auditDS.nlm). These instrumentations must be installed on any NetWare server that you want to report eDirectory, file system, or NetWare events. This option automatically installs the Platform Agent, regardless of whether the Platform Agent option is selected. |
Install Novell Audit Platform Agent |
Installs the Novell Audit Platform Agent (logevent.nlm) and adds auditagt.ncf to the autoexec.ncf file. The Platform Agent must be installed on any NetWare server that you want to report events. |
Novell Audit Secure Logging Server |

It also adds auditsvr.ncf and auditagt.ncf to the autoexec.ncf file. The Secure Logging Server securely receives reported events. NOTE:If you want more than one Secure Logging Server in the tree, we recommend that you create separate eDirectory organizational units as containers for each Secure Logging Server’s configuration objects. For more information, see Section 7.2, Configuring Multiple Secure Logging Servers. |
