14 Novell Advanced Audit Service
Default Configuration
NAAS is not supported a mixed network environment containing NDS
®
6.x, 7.x, and 8.x. NAAS enables auditing only for NetWare servers that are
running in pure NDS (Novell eDirectory
TM
) 8.x networks. It does not
audit NetWare servers running NDS 8.x even if they are part of a mixed
network running NDS versions earlier than NDS 8.x. Therefore, you
should install and configure NAAS only in networks solely running
NDS 8.x.
The ConsoleOne
TM
-based NAAS default configuration utility cannot be
run from a NetWare 6 server console. Instead, you must run it from a
Windows workstation.
By default, NAAS searches only up to three levels up the tree to find a
policy of any type for an object. If a policy is not found in the three levels,
that object is not audited.
If the depth of the partition is greater than three, specific NAAS Search
Criteria policies should be associated with the objects with the search
level equal to the partition depth.
The NAAS default configuration utility fails to create NAAS objects if
the partition root is not an Organization Unit or Tree Root. Before using
this utility, manually create a NAAS container under the partition root.
If the NetWare server hosts two partitions, and the server partition root is
an ancestor of the other partition, explicitly give rights to the NAAS
Agents to the objects in the other partition.
The default configuration utility configures NAAS for a single partition
and, by default, the Audit Server generates reports only for the query
domains in the same partition.
If the Auditor Query Domain is in a partition other than that of the Audit
Server, you need to give specific rights to that NAAS Server Object.
