The Novell Small Business Suite 6.6 server name must be unique from all other servers on the eDirectory tree. The name can be between 2 and 47 alphanumeric characters and can contain underscores (_) and hyphens (-), but no spaces. The first character cannot be a period (.).
IMPORTANT: The server name must be different from the name that you plan to use for the eDirectory tree.
On the Server Properties page, type the server name in the field provided.
At this stage of the installation, you can make changes or additions to the server's config.sys file.
(Optional) Edit the config.sys file.
(Optional) Edit the autoexec.bat file.
At this stage of the installation, you can make changes or additions to the server's autoexec.bat file.
(Optional) Specify the server's ID number.
The server requires a unique identification number. Changing the server ID number during this portion of the installation places the new server ID number in the autoexec.ncf file. The new server ID number takes effect after you reboot the server.
Select language options
Novell Small Business Suite 6.6 can be customized to function in several languages.
On the Server Properties page, click Advanced.
Click the Language tab.
Select the desired server language from the drop-down list.
The server language determines which language the server console and error messages appear in.
Select the desired admin language from the drop-down list.
The admin language determines which language the network administrator User object uses to log in to the network. When additional eDirectory objects are created by the administrator, they use the same language as the admin language.
Under Additional Server Languages, check the check boxes next to the languages you want to install.
You can use NetWare server and client utilities in other languages, if the additional language is installed on the server.
Click OK.
On the Server Properties page, click Next.
Novell Small Business Suite 6.6 can process IP (Internet Protocol) network packets and traditional IPXTM (Internetwork Packet ExchangeTM) packets. Both protocols can be assigned to a single network board, which allows the server to communicate using IP and IPX. Installing with IP only is recommended.
The Internet protocol (IP) lets your network share data with other IP networks, including the Internet. Using IP requires a unique IP address, a subnet, and a router or gateway address.
IP Address: Identifies each device on the network. The address consists of 32 bits, which are represented as decimal values separated by periods, such as 192.48.67.89.
If your server will connect to the Internet, you must obtain a unique IP address. For information on receiving an IP address, contact your Internet service provider (ISP).
Subnet Mask: Lets you break up your network into smaller networks. Your network might have too many nodes or might be too geographically dispersed to manage as a single network.
Dividing your network into smaller networks allows the network routers to filter and reduce the network activity seen by any of the nodes. However, dividing your network and using several network addresses might not be appropriate on a large network that needs to appear to network administrators as a single network.
Router (Gateway): The address of the router that connects two different environments, such as a LAN and the Internet.
You can specify a specific router (gateway) address or you can rely on the network to automatically find the nearest router. If you specify the address, remember that the router must exist on your network segment.
Installing IP will automatically bind to the Ethernet_II frame type.
When IP is selected, passive support for IPX is also provided. If an IPX request arrives at the server, NetWare will process the IPX request. This passive support for IPX is called Compatibility Mode and is automatically enabled to provide service for applications that require IPX.
HINT: You can disable Compatibility Mode by removing the LOAD SCMD command from the server's autoexec.ncf file. When IPX Compatibility Mode is disabled, the server processes only IP packets and applications that require IPX do not function properly.
Novell's traditional protocol, Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX), lets you continue using IPX-based applications. If IPX, but not IP, is installed on your server, it will actively process IPX packets and ignore packets using other protocols, such as IP.
During the installation program, existing IPX frame types will be detected. The installation program will detect one of the following conditions:
If you have network clients or applications that require IPX and IP, you can install both protocols. Both protocols can be bound to a single network board. When selected, both IP and IPX protocols are actively supported. The server will process IP requests using IP, and it will broadcast and reply to IPX requests using IPX.
On the Protocols page, select a network board.
Check the IP check box.
Type the required IP information for the selected network board.
If you are installing IPX on the selected network board, check the IPX check box.
If you choose to install IP and not IPX, the SERVERID reference is not used and is removed from autoexec.ncf. You can add IPX after the server installation by adding the SERVERID 8_digit_number command after the SERVERNAME command in autoexec.ncf.
Repeat Step 1 though Step 4 for each network board in the server.
Service Location Protocol (SLP) is an IETF standard for enabling network-based applications to automatically discover the location, including the address or domain name and other configuration information, of a required service. Using SLP, clients can connect with and make use of services on an IP network. Without SLP, network resources must be manually configured or specified in a separate configuration file.
SLP should be configured properly if the server is going to be a part of a migration using the NetWare Migration Wizard utility.
On the Protocols page, click Advanced.
Click the SLP tab.
Either specify the IP addresses of the Directory Agents on your network or, if no Directory Agents exist on your network, check the Configure This Server As a DA check box.
(Optional) To enable multicasting, check the Enable Multicast Routing on This Server check box.
Click OK.
Network management utilities use Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to record and communicate information about network devices. Using an SNMP-compatible utility, you can set and monitor threshold levels and specific events such as packets per second or error rates. The information is then sent to the destination address of the workstation running the SNMP-compatible management utility.
On the Protocols page, click Advanced.
Click the SNMP tab.
(Optional) Type a hardware description, server location, and administrator in the fields provided.
Type the IPX and IP destination addresses of the devices that will receive the SNMP information in the fields provided.
Click OK.
When enabled, IPX compatibility provides passive support for IPX-based applications without binding IPX. Although the server does not broadcast services using RIP and SAP, NetWare processes any IPX request that arrives at the server.
On the Protocols page, click Advanced.
Click the IPX Compatibility tab.
(Conditional) If you did not check the IPX box in Installing IP and IPX, do the following:
(Conditional) If you checked the IPX box in Installing IP and IPX, do the following:
Check the Load the Migration Agent on This Server check box.
NetWare regulates IP and IPX protocols using a Migration Agent. A Migration Agent regulates the protocol function on different network segments. If a Migration Agent is not enabled, packets are not forwarded onto network segments communicating with a different protocol. For more information, see the online help file associated with this screen.
Type the eight-digit hexadecimal compatibility mode network number in the field provided or accept the default shown.
Select the preferred IP address from the drop-down list.
Click OK.
On the Protocols page, click Next.
If you bound two different IP addresses to two or more network boards, the hostnames page will display.
If you have only one network board, or you bound two or more network boards with the same IP address, go to Setting Up Domain Name Service.
If you have a hostname, specify it.
You must specify a hostname for each of the IP addresses that were bound in Installing Networking Protocols. The hostname is the name of the DNS server that will resolve to your IP address. If you do not know the hostname, contact your network administrator.
You must also determine which IP address will be the Primary IP address. The Primary IP address will be the default IP address for all TCP/IP services. If you have two network boards, choose the external network board as the Primary IP address. The primary address is used for generating server certificates. You can avoid hostname warnings when accessing Web services from the Internet when the certificates match the external address of the server.
The IP protocol identifies computers and systems by their assigned IP addresses, such as 192.48.37.89. Domain Name Service (DNS) allows a specific server on the network to maintain a list of simple, readable names that match IP addresses. Applications (or protocols) that require IP addresses rather than names can use a DNS server to translate from one form to another.
HINT: If this server will not be available to the Internet, you can skip this screen and ignore any associated error messages.
(Optional) To make this server available to the Internet, provide the following information on the Domain Name Service page:
Host Name: The simple, readable name on the DNS server that matches this Novell Small Business Suite 6.6 server's name (or the name that you have bound to the network board).
You can set up the host computer name on the DNS server to use the NetWare server name.
NOTE: If you bound two different IP addresses to two or more network boards in Installing Networking Protocols, the Host Name field will not display on this screen. This is because you specified the hostname in Step 1 in the Specifying Hostnames section. The remainder of this screen remains the same.
Domain Name: The hierarchical name that represents the organization of your network, such as acme.com.
Domain Name Server: The IP address of the DNS server that maintains the list containing this Novell Small Business Suite 6.6 server's simple, readable name and IP address. For more information, contact your Internet service provider.
(Optional) To have the install verify the domain name service information for you, check the Verify the DNS Information check box, then click Next.
Keeping accurate time is a critical function for servers in an eDirectory tree. The reported time must be synchronized across the network in order to provide expiration dates and time stamps to establish the order of events taking place in eDirectory.
Follow these steps to set the server's time zone:
On the Time Zone page, select the correct time zone setting from the available list.
(Optional) If you want the system to adjust automatically for Daylight Savings Time, check that check box.
By default, the NetWare installation synchronizes time automatically with the first server in the tree. However, you might want to set up a different time synchronization scheme or synchronize with an external time source using Network Time Protocol (NTP).
To change the default time synchronization settings, continue with the following time synchronization configuration instructions. Otherwise, skip to Setting Up Novell eDirectory.
Follow these steps to select and configure the server's time synchronization method:
On the Time Zone page, click Advanced.
On the Time Synchronization page, select time protocol that you want.
If you select this option, further configuration might be required to fully implement your time server hierarchy. For more information, see the Novell Network Time Protocol Administration Guide for OES.
If you selected Timesync, select the time server type that you want.
NetWare distinguishes four types of time servers. Three of these provide network time: Single Reference, Reference, and Primary. All other servers are called Secondary time servers because they receive their time from the time providers.
The first NetWare server installed in a network is automatically set up as a Single Reference time server. All subsequent NetWare servers are automatically set up as Secondary time servers. This default configuration works well for most small networks. If your network requires a different time synchronization configuration, you can change the time server type. (For more information, see the Novell Network Time Protocol Administration Guide for OES.)
(Optional) If you do not want to accept the defaults, configure Timesync time sources.
Check the Use Timesync Configured Sources check box.
Type the time sources (up to three) in the fields provided.
Timesync time sources can be specified in one of three different formats:
(Conditional) If your time source uses Network Time Protocol (NTP), check the NTP check box to the right of the time source.
Click OK.

Novell eDirectory provides global access to all networking resources. eDirectory allows users with the proper access rights to log in to the network and view and access network resources.
Network resources such as servers and printers are presented hierarchically in an eDirectory tree. Users log in to the eDirectory tree with a single login name and password instead of logging in to specific servers.
Before completing this task, you should understand the concepts relating to eDirectory trees, containers, and context.
Tree Name: The top level of the available network resources. It must be unique from other eDirectory tree names on the network.
Containers: Much like subdirectories, containers contain network objects. The server can be installed into two types of container objects: Organization (O) and Organizational Unit (OU).
Context: The context, much like DOS directory paths, denotes the full path of a network object in the eDirectory tree. For example, if a NetWare server were installed into an Organizational Unit (OU) named Sales under the Organization (O) named Acme, its context would be denoted as OU=Sales.O=Acme or Sales.Acme.
If you are creating a new network or if this server requires a separate eDirectory tree, we recommend creating a new tree. The resources available on the new tree are available only to users logged in to the new tree.
Type a tree name.
Each eDirectory tree must have a name unique from other eDirectory trees on the network.
Type the context for the Server object in the field provided or browse to the context by clicking the Browse button.
HINT: If you click the Browse button, you will be able to add or delete containers in your tree.
Type the context for the default Admin user.
Type a password for the Admin user.
Retype the password for the Admin user.
Click Next.
Installing your server into an existing eDirectory tree incorporates the server into your network.
The server can be installed in any Organization (O) or Organizational Unit (OU) container in the eDirectory tree where you have the Supervisor right. You can create containers during the installation program.
Type the tree name in the field provided.
Type the context for the Server object in the field provided.
Click Next.
Type the full eDirectory context for the Admin object.
Type the password for the Admin object.
Click OK.
IMPORTANT: If this is the first Novell Small Business Suite 6.6 server to be installed into an existing eDirectory tree, you are asked if you have run the Deployment Manager as described in Preparing the Network with Deployment Manager.
If you have not run the Deployment Manager, you can run it on a workstation, return to the server console, and then click Yes. Or you can click No, cancel the installation, run Deployment Manager, then restart the installation. Novell Deployment Manager (nwdeploy.exe) is located on the Novell Small Business Suite 6.6 NetWare 6.5 CD 1 Operating System with SP3 CD and is run from a Windows workstation.
If you have updated the eDirectory tree on all servers but have not yet prepared the network for NDS 8, you will be prompted to modify the schema. When prompted, you must provide the administrator name and password for the entire eDirectory tree.
The eDirectory Summary screen is now displayed. Now that you have created a new eDirectory tree or installed the server into an existing eDirectory tree, the NetWare Server object and Volume objects will be installed in the container you specified.
If you have created a new eDirectory tree, a user (default name Admin) with the Supervisor right to the eDirectory tree is created in the same eDirectory container as the NetWare Server object.
Every Novell Small Business Suite 6.6 server must have a valid license in order to function as a server. You can install the license from the Novell Small Business Suite License diskette or browse to a directory that contains Novell Small Business Suite 6.6 licenses.
IMPORTANT: Although the server can be installed without a license, an unlicensed server allows only two user connections. After installation, you can use the Novell iManager utility to install additional licenses.
On the Licenses page, click the Browse button and browse to the license directory on the Novell Small Business Suite License diskette.
Select the .nlf file.
Click OK.
(Optional) To install Novell Small Business Suite without licenses, check the Install Without Licenses check box.
Click Next.
If prompted, select where in the tree you want to install the license, then click Next.
If you selected Manual Installation at the beginning of the Novell Small Business Suite 6.6 installation (see Selecting the Type of Installation), you now see the LDAP Configuration page where you can configure LDAP on the server.
If you are not performing a manual install, go to Selecting the Login Method.
IMPORTANT: The NMAS client software must be installed on each client workstation you want to use the NMAS login methods. The latest Novell Client software must be installed on the client workstation before you install the NMAS client software. The NMAS client software is included in the default client installation on the Novell Client Software CD.
NMAS server components are installed automatically when you run the Novell Small Business Suite installation program. You need to select the login methods you want to install.
Select the login methods that you want to install into eDirectory by checking the appropriate check boxes on the Novell Modular Authentication Service screen. When you select a login method, a description of the component appears in the Description box. For more information on login methods, see "Managing Login and Post-Login Methods and Sequences" in the Novell Modular Authentication Services (NMAS) 2.3 Administration Guide in the OES NetWare online documentation.
On the Novell Modular Authentication Service page, select the login methods you want to use from the options provided.
If you want to install all the login methods into eDirectory, click Select All. If you want to clear all selections, click Select Clear All.
NDS and Challenge Response login methods are installed by default and cannot be cleared.
Click Next.

If you did not select DNS/DHCP on the Components page, skip to Modifying iFolder Server Options (Conditional).
IMPORTANT: Installing DNS/DHCP does not configure the server as a DNS or DHCP server. For more information on configuring DNS/DHCP, see Novell DNS/DHCP Services for NetWare Administration Guide for OES in the OES NetWare online documentation.
You must specify the NDS context of three different items on this page:
All three fields are populated with a default NDS context. To change the context from the default in any or all of these three fields, do the following:
If you selected to install Novell iFolder Storage Services on the Components page, or if you selected a pattern installation that installs iFolder, you now see the iFolder Server Options page.
If you did not select Novell iFolder Storage Services on the Components page, skip to Modifying MySQL Options (Conditional) .
There are six fields on this page that have values that can be modified:
LDAP Host Name or IP: The DNS name or IP address of the server that acts as your eDirectory LDAP server.
LDAP Port, 389 (Clear Text) 636 (SSL): The LDAP port type that you want to use, based on your security needs, for data exchanges between your LDAP server and your iFolder server.
LDAP Context for Admins: The LDAP context of the container where your iFolder Admin User objects are located.
iFolder Server Host Name or IP: The DNS name or IP address of your iFolder server. The DNS name or IP address you provide must enable the iFolder server to be accessed from the users' computers.
iFolder Admin Names: The default user ID for the iFolder administrator for this iFolder server. You can assign more than one user ID to be an iFolder administrator. If you are specifying more than one name, separate them with semicolons (;) and with no spaces for example: admin;bsmith;gdoe All entries cannot exceed 256 characters, including the semicolons.
User Database Path: The path to the directory on the iFolder server where user data for all the iFolder accounts will be stored.
Modify any of the server options for iFolder that are displayed on the page or accept the default settings that are provided. Then click Next.
If you selected to install MySQL on the Components page, or if you selected a pattern installation that installs MySQL, you now see the MySQL Options page.
If you did not select MySQL on the Components page, skip to Modifying exteNd Application Server - Details (Conditional).
Click the Browse icon to browse to the directory where you want the MySQL databases to be stored.
The database must reside on an NSS volume. The default location is sys:\mysql\data. You might want to change this path to the data: volume.
Type the Root password in the field provided.
The MySQL Root user is created as a supervisor who can do anything. Specifying a password for the MySQL Root user is recommended. If the root password field is left empty, anyone can connect as Root without a password and be granted all privileges.
Confirm the Root password in the field provided.
This password must match the password specified in the previous field.
(Optional) If you want secure installation enabled, check the Secure Installation check box.
By default, the Root user can connect either from the local host or remotely. An Anonymous user is also created that can connect from the local host or remotely and do anything with databases that have a name of test or starting with test_. This means any local user can connect without a password and be treated as the Anonymous user. A test database is also created.
If this box is checked, the Root user is allowed to connect only from the local host, a Root password is required, and the Anonymous user and the test database are not created.
Click Next.
