Novell eDirectory 8.8? (http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/search/searchtid.cgi?10099872.htm) It is
also highly recommended to backup eDirectory prior to any upgrades.
‰
If you are installing into an eDirectory tree that has NetWare and Windows servers, each
NetWare server must be running:
Š
NetWare 5.1 with Support Pack 8 (http://support.novell.com/filefinder/9331/index.html)
or later
Š NetWare 6.0 with Support Pack 5 (http://support.novell.com/filefinder/13659/index.html)
or later
Š
NetWare 6.5 with Support Pack 3 (http://support.novell.com/filefinder/18197/index.html)
or later
Each Windows server must be running eDirectory 8.7.3 or later.
‰ (Conditional) NICI 2.7 and eDirectory 8.8 support key sizes up to 4096 bits. If you want to use
a 4 KB key size, every server must be upgraded to eDirectory 8.8. In addition, every
workstation using the management utilities, for example, iManager and ConsoleOne, must
have NICI 2.7 installed on it.
When you upgrade your Certificate Authority (CA) server to eDirectory 8.8, the key size will
not change; it will be 2 KB. The only way to create a 4 KB key size is recreate the CA on an
eDirectory 8.8 server. In addition, you would have to change the default from 2 KB to 4 KB for
the key size, during the CA creation.
‰
(Conditional) If you are upgrading a NetWare server as a nonadministrator user, ensure that you
have met the following prerequisites:
Š
A NetWare server in the eDirectory 8.8 tree installed as the tree admin
Ensure that you have the following rights:
Š
Supervisor rights to the container the server is being installed into.
Š
All Attributes rights: read, compare, and write rights over the W0.KAP.Security object.
Š
Entry rights: browse rights over Security container object.
Š
All Attributes rights: read and compare rights over Security container object.
As a nonadministrator user, you can only upgrade a NetWare server.
‰
(Conditional) If you are installing a secondary server into an existing tree as a nonadministrator
user, ensure that at least one of the servers in the tree has the same or higher eDirectory version
as that of the secondary being added as container admin. In case the secondary being added is
of later version, then the schema needs to be extended by the admin of the tree before adding
the secondary using container admin.
Configuring Static IP Address
Static IP address must be configured on the server for the eDirectory to perform efficiently.
Configuring eDirectory on the servers with DHCP address can lead to unpredictable results.
1.3 Hardware Requirements
Hardware requirements depend on the specific implementation of eDirectory.
For example, a base installation of eDirectory with the standard schema requires about 74 MB of
disk space for every 50,000 users. However, if you add a new set of attributes or completely fill in
