1.6 SecretStore Integration with eDirectory
eDirectory 8.8 gives you an option to configure Novell SecretStore 3.4 during eDirectory
configuration. Prior to eDirectory 8.8, you had to manually install SecretStore.
SecretStore is a simple and secure password management solution. It enables you to use a single
authentication to eDirectory to access most Linux, Windows, Web, and mainframe applications.
After you've authenticated to eDirectory, SecretStore-enabled applications store and retrieve the
appropriate login credentials. When you use SecretStore, you eliminate the need to remember or
synchronize all the multiple passwords required for accessing password-protected applications, Web
sites, and mainframes.
To configure SecretStore 3.4 along with eDirectory, you can do the following:
 Linux:
Use the
ndsconfig add -m ss parameter. Here, ss denotes SecretStore and is an optional
parameter. If you do not mention the module name, all the modules are installed. If you do not
want to configure SecretStore, you can pass the
no_ss value to this option by specifying -m
no_ss
.
 Windows:
While installing eDirectory, there is an option to specify whether to configure the SecretStore
module. By default, this option is selected.

ndscheck.log
Depends on the location you specified with the
ndscheck -F utility.
If you did not use the
-F option, the location of
the
ndscheck.log file is determined by the
other options you used at the ndscheck
command line as follows:
1. If you used the
-h option, the
ndscheck.log file is saved in the user’s
home directory.
2. If you used the --config-file option,
the ndscheck.log file is saved in the
server instance’s log directory. You can
also select an instance from the multiple
instances list.
