2 (Conditional) If you see the following ID information, the XTier IDs are standardized and you
can start over with Step 1
uid=81(novlxregd) gid=81(novlxtier) groups=81(novlxtier)
uid=82(novlxsrvd) gid=81(novlxtier) groups=81(novlxtier),8(www)
3 (Conditional) If you see different IDs than those listed above, such as 101, 102, 103, etc.,
record the numbers for both XTier users and the novlxtier group, then continue with
You need these numbers to standardize the IDs on the server.

5 Customize the template file by replacing the variables marked with angle brackets (<>) as
follows:

<server_name>: The name of the server object in eDirectory.
This variable is listed on line 38 in the file. Replace it with the server name.
For example, if the server name is myserver, replace <server_name> with myserver so
that the line in the settings section of the script reads
server=myserver

<context>: This is the context of the XTier user and group objects.
Replace this variable with the fully distinguished name of the context where the objects
reside.
For example, if the objects are an Organizational Unit object named servers, replace
ou=servers,o=company with the fully distinguished name.

<admin fdn>: The full context of an eDirectory admin user, such as the Tree Admin, who
has rights to modify the XTier user and group objects.
Replace this variable with the admin name and context, specified with comma-delimited
syntax.
For example, if the tree admin is in an Organization container named company, the full
context is cn=admin,o=company and the line in the settings section of the script reads
admin_fdn="cn=admin,o=company"

<novlxregd_uid>: This is the UID that the system assigned to the local
It might or might not be the same on each server, depending on whether the
script ran successfully.
Replace this variable with the UID reported for the novlxregd user on this server as listed
in Step 1 on page
For example, if the UID for the novlxregd user is 101, change the line to read
novlxregd_uid=101

<novlxsrvd_uid>: This is the UID that the system assigned to the local novlxsrvd user. It
might or might not be the same on each server, depending on whether the
ran successfully.
