Edit the Novell XPS Schema File

Edit the Novell XPS schema file Novell.ldif so that it contains the correct information for your Novell server DN. You edit the Novell XPS schema file from the Novell Client.

To edit the Novell XPS schema file

1. Navigate to policy_server_home\bin or policy_server_home/bin on the machine where the Policy Server is installed.

   policy_server_home

   Specifies the policy server installation path.

2. Run the following command:

   ldapsearch -hhost -pport -bcontainer -ssub -dAdminDN -wAdminPW
   objectclass=ncpServer dn
   

   Example:

   ldapsearch -h192.168.1.47 -p389 -bo=nwqa47container -ssub
   -dcn=admin,o=nwqa47container -wpassword objectclass=ncpServer dn
   

   The Novell server DN opens.

3. Open the Novell XPS schema file:

   policy_server_home\xps\db\Novell.ldif

4. Manually edit the open XPS file by replacing every NCP_Server variable with the value that you found in step 2 for your Novell server DN.

   Example: If your Novell server DN value is cn=servername,o=servercontainer, replace every instance of NCP_Server with cn=servername,o=servercontainer.

5. Save and close the XPS file.

   The Novell XPS schema file contains your Novell server DN information.
