Novell Linux User Management Parameters and Values
Directory Server Address: The IP address shown is the default LDAP server for this
service. If you do not want to use the default, select a different LDAP server in the list.
If you are installing into an existing tree, ensure that the server you select has a master
replica or read/write replica of eDirectory. If you need to add another LDAP server to the
list, add it by using the LDAP Configuration for Open Enterprise Services dialog.
For information about specifying multiple LDAP servers for Linux User Management
(LUM), see "Configuring a Failover
Management Technology
Default: The first server selected in the LDAP Configuration list of servers
Unix Config Context: The Unix Config object holds a list of the locations (contexts) of
Unix Workstation objects in eDirectory. It also controls the range of numbers to be
assigned as UIDs and GIDs when User objects and Group objects are created.
Specify the eDirectory context (existing or created here) where the Unix Config object will
be created. An LDAP search for a LUM User, a LUM Group, or a LUM Workstation object
begins here, so the context must be at the same level or higher than the LUM objects
searched for.
If the Unix Config Object is placed below the location of the User objects, the
nam.conf file on the target computer must include the support-outside-base-context=yes
parameter.
Geographically dispersed networks might require multiple Unix Config objects in a single
tree, but most networks need only one Unix Config object in eDirectory.
Default: The Organization object you specified in the eDirectory configuration
Unix Workstation Context: Computers running Linux User Management (LUM) are
represented by Unix Workstation objects in eDirectory. The object holds the set of
properties and information associated with the target computer, such as the target
workstation name or a list of eDirectory groups that have access to the target workstation.
Specify the eDirectory context (existing or created here) for the Unix Workstation object
created by the install for this server. The context should be the same as or below the Unix
Config Context specified above.
Default: The context you specified for this OES server in the eDirectory configuration
Proxy User Name with Context (Optional): Specify a user (existing or created here) with
rights to search the LDAP tree for LUM objects.
Proxy User Password: Specify a password (existing or created here) for the Proxy user.

Mechanism" in the
