does not necessarily have to be the IP address or DNS name of the server
where NetStorage is to be installed.
When a user attempts to log in, NetStorage searches the eDirectory database
on the server you specify for the User object. If the User object is found,
NetStorage attempts to authenticate the user to eDirectory.
If you know the eDirectory context for the users that will use NetStorage, you
can add that context to the URL by inserting a colon (:) between the IP address
or DNS name and the eDirectory context. The context is optional. If no
context is specified, NetStorage searches the entire eDirectory tree on the
primary eDirectory server for User objects. For example, if the IP address of
the server is 127.0.0.1 and the eDirectory context for your users is Personnel,
then you would add 127.0.0.1:personnel to the field.
DNS Name or IP Address of Alternate eDirectory Server and Context (Optional)
This optional text box is where you specify alternate IP addresses or DNS
names of other servers in your directory tree that have at least read/write
eDirectory replicas. You can add two alternate eDirectory server URL and
context settings.
These alternate settings can be used in the event that eDirectory authentication
cannot be accomplished using the primary eDirectory server URL and
context. The alternate URL and context settings are optional, but can help
provide users with an additional level of access to NetStorage.
DNS Name or IP Address and Port Number of iFolder Server (Optional)
Specify the IP address or DNS name and the port number that you assigned to
Novell iFolder. The iFolder DNS name or IP address and the port number are
optional but, if specified, will allow NetStorage users to access and
manipulate files and directories on the iFolder server.

assignments were made.
