it is reported and logged in syslog.

exits.
6.3 Offline Branch Server
Configuration
The following procedure describes the installation process of a SUSE Linux Enterprise
Point of Service11 Branch Server in the case that an internet connection to the Admin-
istration Server is not used:
1 Preferably, execute posInitBranchserver.sh -f
pathToOfflineInstallationFile. You can also execute the
posInitBranchserver.sh script without options and select 2 when asked
for the installation mode to be used.
2 Provide the required information. Enter the company name (organization),
organizational unit (organizationalUnit) and branch name (scLocation)
as initialized on the Administration Server (and as specified in the LDAP
database). Enter the resolvable and connectible name or the IP address of the
Administration Server. Enter the Branch Server password defined when the
scLocation object was created using posAdmin.pl on the Administration
Server.
If an offline installation file was provided in the first step, the default values from
the file are used.
3 In the offline installation mode, the script does not check resolvability of the
Administration Server IP address. Server certificates are copied from the offline
installation file, if present.
