This file contains installation instructions and issues related to Security Services 2.0.1 (Novell® Certificate ServerTM 3.1.1, NICI 2.7, NMASTM 3.1, and NTLS 2.0).
Security Services 2.0.1 can be installed on eDirectoryTM 8.7.3 or eDirectory 8.8. This bundle will install on the following platforms:
This bundle has been tested with eDirectoryTM 8.7.3 SP7, eDirectory 8.7.3 SP8, and eDirectory 8.8. Novell recommends one of these minimum versions be installed prior to installing Security Services 2.0.1. Of the eDirectory 8.7.3 versions, SP8 is recommended.
The ssp201.tgz file installs NMAS 3.1, Certificate Server 3.1.1, NTLS 2.0, and NICI 2.7 using one integrated install script.
NOTE: NMAS Methods 2.7.2 are also included in this download; however, they are not installed by default. To install NMAS methods, use methodInstaller.exe from a Windows workstation or nmasinst for the other platforms. Methods are installed once per tree. The NMAS methods are found in the /ssp201/nmmthd272/novell directory.
If you have performed a minimal or custom install of SLES or Red Hat Advanced Server, you may be lacking a dependent module needed by this eDirectory Security Support Pack. eDirectory security is dependent on the Compat library being installed on your server. You can identify the installation of this module on your server by running the following command:
rpm -qa |grep compat
For SLES, look for this command to return compat-2004.7.1-1.2 or later. For Red Hat, look for compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-132.7.2 or later.
If you don't have the Compat module installed, the module can be found on your install CDs.
Download ssp201.tgz from the Novell Downloads Web site.
Extract ssp201.tgz to a temporary directory on the server.
On Windows and NetWare servers, use a Windows decompression utility that supports tgz, such as WinZip.
On Linux and UNIX servers, use gzip and tar to decompress and extract the tarball to a temporary directory. For example, gzip -d -c ssp201.tgz | tar xv
Run the installation script.
On NetWare servers, load NWCONFIG and select Product Options > Install product not listed, then press Enter. Press F3 and enter the path to the extraction directory (for example, sys:temp\ssp201\nw), then follow the installation prompts.
On Windows servers, go to the extraction directory (for example, temp\ssp201\nt) and double-click the ssp_setup.exe file.
On Linux and UNIX servers, go to the extraction directory (for example, temp\ssp201\unix) and run the install.sh script. The script detects if you are on Linux or UNIX. If the system is UNIX, the script detects the correct platform and installs the corresponding packages.
To fix this problem, you must first remove ntls and then reinstall novell-ntls.
To remove the ntls package:
rpm --erase --nodeps --noscripts ntls
To install the novell-ntls package from the root of the extracted ssp201 tarball:
rpm --install --force --nodeps ssp201/unix/Linux/eDir87x/novell-ntls*.rpm
After ntls is removed and novell-ntls is laid down, the install script runs properly.
For detailed Certificate Server documentation, see the Certificate Server documentation Web site.
"The PKI install was unable to create the default IP and DNS certificates. Error -613. Do you want to retry?"
The -613 error is not a fatal error; however, Novell Certificate Server will not be able to create the auto-generated certificates which match the long DNS name.
To avoid this problem with future servers, make sure that the combined number of characters of the DNS name and the server name is fewer than 64 characters.
To fix this problem on an existing server, use iManager to manually create a server certificate using the DNS name or the IP address as the certificate subject name, depending on the needs of your applications.
See the Novell Certificate Server Administration Guide for instructions on how to create server certificates.
After the server certificate is created, the applications (Apache, Tomcat, etc.) on which you want to use the new server certificate must be configured to use it.
For detailed NICI documentation, see the NICI documentation Web site.
No new NICI issues for this release.
For detailed NMAS documentation, see the NMAS documentation Web site.
This issue has been resolved in the NMAS Client 3.2 by allowing the NMAS Client to resolve to an eDirectory 8.8 external reference server to read the Universal Password policy. To install NMAS Client 3.2, download and install Novell Client 32 4.91 SP2. NMAS Client 3.2 is included in the Novell Client 32 4.91 SP2 download and install.
