Configure NetWare

The goal of the configuration described in this section is to allow the Policy Server to log into the Novell eDirectory, view the contents of the directory, and retrieve directory attributes. For some advanced features of SiteMinder, you may also need to configure the Novell eDirectory to allow the Policy Server write-access to the directory.

If you installed LDAP as part of your Novell eDirectory installation, you should have a server in Novell eDirectory called LDAP Server and an LDAP group named LDAP Group. LDAP Server should be a member of the LDAP Group.

To create the LDAP Server and LDAP Group in Novell eDirectory

1. Create an LDAP Server in Novell eDirectory. (For this example, it is called LDAP Server.)
2. Create an LDAP Group in Novell eDirectory. (For this example, it is called LDAP Group.)
3. Assign LDAP Group to LDAP Server.
   1. In the NW Admin tool, right click on LDAP Server.

      Note: If you are using the Netware ConsoleOne tool instead of the NW Admin tool to modify your Novell eDirectory, you must complete the same tasks using the tools available in ConsoleOne. The interface for the two tools is similar. See your Novell documentation for more information.

   2. From the popup menu, select Details.
   3. Type LDAP Group in the LDAP Group field.
   4. Click OK.
