ConsoleOne User Guide
Explanation
ConsoleOne lets you assign ASN.1 identifiers to object classes and attributes
in the schema of your eDirectory tree. No legacy tool has this capability. See
"Defining Custom Object Classes and Properties" on page
ConsoleOne lets you create roles in eDirectory so you can delegate
administrative responsibilities. A role is a list of specific application functions
that a person can perform. For an application function to be added to a role,
it must exist as a task object in your eDirectory tree. For details, see
"Configuring Role-Based Administration" on page
At the time of this publishing, ConsoleOne also has a few limitations
compared to legacy tools. Most of these will no longer exist in future releases.
Explanation
For now, you should use NetWare Administrator to manage network print
services.
For now, you should use the legacy NDS Manager tool to remotely repair
eDirectory on individual servers, to check partition continuity, or to abort a
partition operation that was started by another administrator.
For now, you should use the legacy Schema Manager tool to generate reports
on the schema of your eDirectory tree, unless you design your own report
forms to generate schema reports in ConsoleOne. See
Reports" on page
ConsoleOne lets you create all aspects of user templates except for setup
scripts. Also, ConsoleOne can't execute a setup script when creating a new
user account from a template. You must use NetWare Administrator to
perform these tasks.
A few older Novell products haven't shipped ConsoleOne snap-ins yet, such
as NetWare for SAA*. For now, you can use NetWare Administrator to
manage these products.
Because ConsoleOne is Java-based, it can be sluggish when run on older
hardware. If you have the hardware configuration recommended in
and Starting ConsoleOne" on page
biggest performance booster is adding RAM.
ConsoleOne still has a few minor quirks in the user interface. For details, see
