Configure Novell eDirectory Server

To configure a Novell eDirectory Server policy store, you apply the novell_ims8.ldif script.

Follow these steps:

1. Configure the directory as a supported SiteMinder policy store.

   Note: For configuration instructions, see the CA SiteMinder Policy Server Installation Guide.

2. Find the Distinguished Name (DN) of the NCPServer for your Novell eDirectory Server by entering the following information in a command window on the system where the Policy Server is installed:

   ldapsearch -h hostname -p port -b container -s sub 
   -D admin_login -w password objectClass=ncpServer dn
   

   For example:

   ldapsearch -h 192.168.1.47 -p 389 -b "o=nwqa47container" -s sub -D "cn=admin,o=nwqa47container" -w password objectclass=ncpServer dn
   

3. Open the novell_ims8.ldif file.
4. Replace every NCPServer variable with the value you found in Step 2.

   The default location for novell_ims8.ldif on Windows is:

   C:\Program Files\CA\Identity Manager\IAM Suite\Identity Manager\tools\policystore-schemas\NovelleDirectory

   For example, if the DN value is cn=servername,o=servercontainer, you would replace every instance of NCPServer with cn=servername,o=servercontainer.

5. Update the eDirectory Server with the novell_ims8.ldif file.

   See the Novell eDirectory documentation for instructions.
