4.1 Configuring eDirectory on Linux with IPv6

This section provides information about configuring eDirectory on a Linux computer that already

supports IPv6 addresses:

4.1.1 Creating a New eDirectory Tree

You can configure a new eDirectory tree with an IPv6 address by passing the IPv6 address along with

the

-B

option in the

ndsconfig

command. For example:

ndsconfig new -t CORP-TREE -B [2015::3]@524 -P ldap://[2015::3]:389,ldaps://

[2015::3]:636

For the LDAP listeners to automatically start listening on the IPv6 addresses, you must specify the

LDAP URLs with the

-P

option while configuring eDirectory. If you do not specify them during the

initial configuration, you can add them in the

ldapInterfaces

attribute using the

ldapconfig

command or iManager after the initial configuration. For more information, see Section 4.1.4,

“Adding LDAP URLS for IPV6 on the LDAP Server Object,” on page 73.

4.1.2 Adding a Server to an Existing eDirectory Tree

You can add a server to an existing tree with IPv6 by passing the IPv6 address with the

-B

option in

the

ndsconfig

command. For example:

ndsconfig add -t CORP-TREE -B [2015::4]@524 -P ldap://[2015::4]:389,ldaps://

[2015::4]:636

For the LDAP listeners to automatically start listening on the IPv6 addresses, you must specify the

LDAP URLs with the

-P

option while configuring eDirectory. If you do not specify them during the

initial configuration, you can add them in the

ldapInterfaces

attribute using the

ldapconfig

command or iManager after the initial configuration. For more information, see Section 4.1.4,

“Adding LDAP URLS for IPV6 on the LDAP Server Object,” on page 73.

4.1.3 Enabling IPv6 Addresses on Existing or Upgraded eDirectory Servers

1 Add the IPv6 interface address with the port number in the

/etc/opt/novell/eDirectory/

conf/nds.conf

file. You must add it in each configuration file, if the computer has multiple

instances configured.

The following are some examples:

n4u.server.interfaces=164.99.90.148@524,[2015::4]@524,[2015:1234:2345:3456:abc

d:bcde:cdef:aaaa]@524

http.server.interfaces=164.99.90.148@8028,[2015::4]@8028,[2015:1234:2345:3456:

abcd:bcde:cdef:aaaa]@8028

https.server.interfaces=164.99.90.148@8030,[2015::4]@8030,[2015:1234:2345:3456

:abcd:bcde:cdef:aaaa]@8030

2 Restart ndsd using the following commands:

ndsmanage stopall

ndsmanage startall
