Installing or Upgrading Novell eDirectory on Linux 81novdocx (en) 11 July 2008To configure NMAS and create NMAS objects in eDirectory, enter the following at the serverconsole command line:nmasinst -i admin.context tree_namenmasinst will prompt you for a password.This command creates the objects in the Security container that NMAS needs, and installs theLDAP extensions for NMAS on the LDAP Server object in eDirectory.The first time NMAS is installed in a tree, it must be installed by a user with enough rights to createobjects in the Security container. However, subsequent installs can be done by containeradministrators with read-only rights to the Security container. nmasinst will verify that the NMASobjects exist in the Security container before it tries to create them.nmasinst does not extend the schema. The NMAS schema is installed as part of the base eDirectoryschema.Installing Login MethodsTo install login methods using nmasinst, enter the following at the server console command line:nmasinst -addmethod admin.context tree_name config.txt_pathThe last parameter specifies the config.txt file for the login method that is to be installed. Aconfig.txt file is provided with each login method.Here is an example of the -addmethod command:nmasinst -addmethod admin.novell MY_TREE ./nmas-methods/novell/Simple Password/config.txtIf the login method already exists, nmasinst will update it.For more information, see “Managing Login and Post-Login Methods and Sequences” (http://www.novell.com/documentation/beta/nmas30/admin/data/a53vj9a.html) in the Novell ModularAuthentication Service Administration Guide.3.6.10 Nonroot user SNMP configurationNICI and NOVLsubag should be installed as root user.1 Root User Installing NICI.
