Configuring an eDirectory Server

6.3.1 Installing the eDirectory Server

Novell eDirectory is available for many operating systems. In this manual a Windows Server 2008 R2 system is
used as the basis for eDirectory installation. The Novell iManager is used to administer the eDirecory after instal-
lation. (When using iManager with Internet Explorer 8 make sure you set the browser to Compatibility Mode.)

6.3.2 Creating the LDAP Structure (Based on eDirectory)

To permit the management blade to be accessed by means of an LDAP user, a particular structure consisting of
Organizational Units (OUs) and Groups must be set up. A sample configuration is described here.
The tool SVS_LDAPDeployer (v. 1.00.09209) can be used to create the structure. The tool can be used from any
system with network access to the eDirectory Server which has at least Java v1.5 installed.
The configuration file Generic_InitialDeploy.xml is included in the SVS_LDAPDeployer software package and should
be edited according to your specific needs before deploying the structure in the eDirectory.
The following sections should be edited:
– <DirectoryService> : Contains the IP and Port of the eDirectory Server.
– <DirectoryType> : Sets the type of LDAP directory, in this example eDirectory.
– <root> : Contains the root level of your domain, e.g. for testdomain3.local "dc=testdomain3,dc=local".
– <username>: Contains the Administrator's user name in the notation
"cn=Administrator,dc=testdomain3,dc=local".
– <Department name> : The name of the department where the structure will be created, e.g. TestDepartment.
– If the password section is left blank, SVS_LDAPDeployer will ask for the administrator's password during
execution.
