3 Find the following line:
;net.slp.useScopes = myScope1, myScope2, myScope3
IMPORTANT: The example in the configuration file is misleading because the spaces after
each comma are not ignored as one might expect them to be.
Therefore, the scope names created or configured by the statement after the first comma
actually have leading spaces in them. For example, the first scope name is "myScope1" but the
scope names that follow it all have leading spaces, " myScope2", " myScope3" and so on. This
is a problem, especially if one of the later names becomes the first name in a subsequent SLP
configuration and the leading space is ignored.
If you use the scopes given in the example, remove the spaces between the entries.
4 Modify the line by removing the semicolon and typing the name of the scope you want this DA
to use to provide service information on the network. For example, you might change the line
as follows:
net.slp.useScopes = Directory
IMPORTANT: Although SLP provides a default scope if no scope is specified, it is always
good practice to define one or more scopes by configuring the net.slp.useScopes parameter in
slp.conf
Scopes group and organize the services on your network into logical categories. For example,
the services that the Accounting group needs might be grouped into an Accounting scope.
More information about scope planning is available in
8.8 Administration Guide
When no scope is specified, all services are registered in a scope named Default.
5 Configure the firewall on the DA server to allow SLP daemon traffic:
5a In the YaST Control Center, click Security and Users > Firewall.
5b In the left navigation frame, click Allowed Services.
5c Click the Services to Allow drop-down list and select SLP Daemon.
5d Click Add > Next.
5e Click Accept.
6 At the command prompt, enter the following command to restart the SLP daemon:
rcslpd restart
7 (Conditional) If you are doing this after installing OES 2 and eDirectory, you must also restart
eDirectory by entering the following command:
rcndsd restart
8 Continue with the following sections that apply to your situation:
Configuring OES 2 Servers to Access the OpenSLP DA (page 116)
Configuring NetWare Servers to Use the OpenSLP Service (page 118)
Configuring OES 2 Servers to Access the OpenSLP DA
If you created the OpenSLP DA on an OES 2 server installed in your tree, then SLP is properly
configured on that server and these instructions do not apply to it.
