Novell Modular Authentication ServiceTM (NMAS) server components are installed automatically when you run the eDirectory installation program. You will 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. 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 Service Administration Guide.
Click Select All if you want to install all the login methods into eDirectory. Click Clear All if you want to clear all selections.
The NDS login method is installed by default.
The NMAS client software must be installed on each client workstation where you want to use the NMAS login methods.
At a Windows client workstation, insert the Novell eDirectory 8.7.3 CD.
From the NMAS directory, run nmasinstall.exe.
Select the NMAS Client Components checkbox.
Optionally, you can select the NICI checkbox if you want to install this component.
Click OK and follow the on-screen instructions.
Reboot the client workstation after the installation completes.
You can install a NetWare server into an eDirectory tree that has containers with dots in the names (for example, O=novell.com or C=u.s.a). Using containers with dotted names requires that those dots be escaped with the backslash character. To escape a dot, simply put a backslash in front of any dot in a container name. For example:
O=novell\.com
You cannot start a name with a dot. For example, you cannot create a container named ".novell" because it starts with a dot ('.').
IMPORTANT: If your tree has containers with dotted names, you much escape those names when logging into utilities such as iMonitor, iManager, and DHost iConsole. For example, if your tree has "novell.com" as the name of the O, enter username.novell\.com in the Username field when logging in to iMonitor (see Figure 1).
