32 NetIQ eDirectory 8.8 SP8 Installation Guide
If the path you entered is not valid, you will be prompted to enter the correct path.
3 After the installation is complete, you need to update the following environment variables and
export them. You can either do it manually or use a script.
Manually export the environment variables by entering the following commands:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/novell/eDirectory/lib64:/opt/novell/
eDirectory/lib64/nds-modules:/opt/novell/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export MANPATH=/opt/novell/man:/opt/novell/eDirectory/man:$MANPATH
export TEXTDOMAINDIR=/opt/novell/eDirectory/share/locale:$TEXTDOMAINDIR
Use the ndspath script to export the environment variables by performing the following
steps:
If you do not want to export the paths manually, you can use the
/opt/novell/
eDirectory/bin/ndspath
script as follows:
Prefix the ndspath script to the utility and run the utility you want as follows:
/opt/novell/eDirectory/bin/ndspath utility_name_with_parameters
NOTE: When you prefix the ndspath script to the commands with arguments, specify
the arguments in double quotes.
For example:
/opt/novell/eDirectory/bin/ndspath ldapconfig "-s ldapTLSRequired=yes"
Export the paths in the current shell as follows:
. /opt/novell/eDirectory/bin/ndspath
After entering the above command, run the utilities as you would normally do.
The path exporting instructions should be placed at the end of
/etc/profile
or
~/
bashrc
or similar scripts. Therefore, whenever you log in or open a new shell, you can
start using the utilities directly.
You can use the ndsconfig utility to configure eDirectory Server after installation.
NetIQ Modular Authentication Service (NMAS) is installed as part of the server component. By
default, ndsconfig configures NMAS. You can also use the nmasinst utility to configure NMAS server
after installation. This must be done after configuring eDirectory with ndsconfig.
For more information on the ndsconfig utility, see “The ndsconfig Utility” on page 83.
For more information on the nmasinst utility, see “Using the nmasinst Utility to Configure NMAS”
on page 48.
NOTE: After you install eDirectory, we recommend you exclude the DIB directory on your
eDirectory server from any antivirus or backup software processes. Use the eDirectory Backup Tool
to back up your DIB directory.
For more information about backing up eDirectory, see “Backing Up and Restoring NetIQ
eDirectory,” in the NetIQ eDirectory 8.8 SP8 Administration Guide.
