Installation guide

Installing or Upgrading NetIQ eDirectory on Linux 39
-m
modulename
Specifies the module name to configure. While configuring a new tree, you can
configure only the ds module. After configuring the ds module, you can add the NMAS,
LDAP, SAS, SNMP, HTTP services, and NetIQ SecretStore (ss) using the
add
command. If the module name is not specified, all the modules are installed.
NOTE: If you do not want to configure the SecretStore during eDirectory upgrade
through
nds-install , pass the no_ss value to this option. For example, nds-
install '-m no_ss'
.
-o
Specifies the HTTP clear port number.
-O
Specifies the HTTP secure port number.
-p <IP
address:[p
ort]>
This option is used for secondary server addition ( add command) to a tree. It specifies
the IP address of the remote host that holds a replica of the partition to which this
server is being added. The default port number is 524. This helps in faster lookup of
the tree since it avoids SLP lookup.
-R
By default a replica of the partition to which the server is added would be replicated to
the local server. This option disallows adding replicas to the local server.
-c
This option avoids prompts during ndsconfig operation, such as yes/no to continue the
operation, or prompt to re-enter port numbers when there is a conflict, etc. The user
receives prompts only for entering mandatory parameters if they are not passed on
command line.
-w <admin
password>
This option allows passing the admin user password in clear text.
NOTE: Since password is passed in clear text, this is not recommended as a safe
option owing to password insecurity.
-E
Enables encrypted replication for the server you are trying to add.
-j
Jumps or overrides the health check option before installing eDirectory.
-b port to
bind
Sets the default port number on which a particular instance should listen on. This sets
the default port number on n4u.server.tcp-port and n4u.server.udp-port . If
an NCP port is passed using the -b option, then it is assumed to be the default port
and the TCP and UDP parameters are updated accordingly.
NOTE:
-b and -B are exclusively used.
-B
interface1
@port1,
interface2
@port2,...
Specifies the port number along with the IP address or interface. For example:
-B eth0@524
or
-B 100.1.1.2@524
NOTE: -b and -B are mutually exclusive.
--config-
file
configurat
ion file
Specify the absolute path and file name to store the nds.conf configuration file. For
example, to store the configuration file in the
/etc/opt/novell/eDirectory/
directory,
enter --config-file /etc/opt/novell/eDirectory/
nds.conf
.
-P <LDAP
URL(s)>
Allows the LDAP URLs to configure the LDAP interface on the LDAP Server object.
For example:
-P ldap://1.2.3.4:1389,ldaps://1.2.3.4:1636
