Installing NetWare Directory Services

Multiple directory trees are found

If multiple Directory trees are found, the ``Existing Directory Trees'' menu appears.

Choose the Directory tree into which you want to install this server.
A list of all Directory trees that are visible from this server appears. Most organizations have only one Directory tree.
NOTE: Make sure you choose the correct Directory tree name. If your organization has more than one tree, attaching to the wrong tree or creating a new Directory tree will prevent this server from sharing data within the desired Directory database.
Choosing an existing tree makes this new server part of that tree's NetWare Directory database.
- (Conditional) If the Directory tree you want is not displayed, verify that an existing NetWare Services server in that tree is up and physically connected to this server, and that both servers are bound to IPX with the proper LAN driver, frame type, and IPX external network number. Then press <F4> to rebuild the list.
- (Conditional) If your network has SAP filtering and you know the IPX internal network number of an existing NetWare 4 server, press <F3> and enter the name of the Directory tree. Then, enter the IPX internal network number of an existing NetWare 4 server in the Directory tree.
- (Conditional) If you need to create a new Directory tree on the network, press <Ins>. At the confirmation prompt, press <Enter>. Then follow the procedure given in ``This is the first NetWare 4 server''.
Specify time synchronization parameters.
The time configuration defaults for all servers except the first NetWare Services server appear.
- (Conditional) If you chose a simple Directory tree (only one level), a simple ``Admin Password'' prompt appears.
  If you want to install this server into the simple Directory tree, enter the administrator password.
  If you want to customize the simple Directory tree to create multiple levels, press <F4>. If necessary, enter the administrator name. Type the administrator password. Carry out Step 4 in ``This is the first NetWare 4 server'' to set up the server's context.
- In the ``Verify/Enter Time Configuration Information for this Server'' screen, verify or specify time synchronization parameters.
  Refer to ``NDS time synchronization'' for information on how to plan for time synchronization.
  See Step 3 in ``This is the first NetWare 4 server'' for instructions on how to configure time parameters, then return here.
- Press <F10> to save and continue.
  After you have finished setting up time synchronization, you are prompted to specify a Directory administrator login name and password.
(Conditional) If the administrator's name is not displayed, enter the administrator's name.
Enter the complete name of the administrator. This could be
- your login name
- the name of any User object with the Supervisor object right to this context
- user object ADMIN
  For example, enter
  
  CN=ADMIN.O=Your Company
  Or, if you specified a country, enter
  
  CN=ADMIN.O=Your Company.C=US
  
  NOTE: For more information about complete context names, refer to Administering NetWare Directory Services.
When the first NetWare Services server is installed, the administrator's default name is ADMIN, but this name could have been changed after the first NetWare Services server was installed.
There also could be more than one administrator in your Directory tree.
NOTE: Without supplying the correct name, you cannot install this server as part of the Directory tree.
Enter the administrator's password.
This password authenticates the administrator (the user installing the server) to the Directory. The server context screen appears.
Choose an existing NetWare context or specify a new one.
If you want to place this new server into a context that has been previously defined, press <Enter> at each organizational level to view existing container objects and choose the object you need.
If you want to define a new context for this server, enter one or more new Organizations (O=) or Organizational Units (OU=). See the examples that follow.
You can either place this new server into a previously defined context or you can specify a new context. By defining a context that does not exist yet, you ``create'' the context; that is, you create a new branch in the Directory tree.
Assume the context of the only existing NetWare 4.1 server is

OU=NEW_PRODUCTS.OU=MARKETING.O= YOUR COMPANY
If you specify the new server's context as

OU=SALES.O= YOUR COMPANY
the Directory tree will have a new ``branch'' (Sales). After server installation, you can view your Directory tree using the NETADMIN or NetWare Administrator utility.
NOTE: By default, the installation utility adds a replica (duplicate) of the partition that contains the server's context only if the total number of existing replicas is less than three.
You can modify partitions with the PARTMGR or NetWare Administrator utility, after server and workstation installations are complete.
For more information on Directory partitions, see Administering NetWare Directory Services.
To save the Directory information, press <F10>.
A confirmation box appears.
Press <Enter> to select Yes.
Review ``How does the Directory tree appear now?'' and ``What trustee assignments were created during the installation?''.
