4.6.3 Installing NICI
NICI should be installed before you proceed with the eDirectory installation. Both root and nonroot
users can install NICI, though the procedure to do so is different.
Root User Installing NICI
To install NICI, complete the following procedure:
1 Enter the following command:
pkgadd -d NICI_package_absolute_path_and_filename NOVLniu0
For example:
pkgadd -d /home/build/Solaris/Solaris/setup/NOVLniu0.pkg
NOVLniu0
2
Execute the following script:
/var/opt/novell/nici/set_server_mode
Nonroot User Installing NICI
Nonroot users can make use of the sudo utility to install NICI. Sudo (superuser do) allows a root
user to give certain users the ability to run some commands as root. A root user can do this by
editing the
/etc/sudoers
configuration file and adding appropriate entries in it.
For more information, refer to the sudo Website (http://www.sudo.ws) .
WARNING: sudo enables you to give limited root permissions to nonroot users. Therefore, we
strongly recommend you to understand the security implications before proceeding.
A root user needs to complete the following procedure to enable a nonroot user (for example, john)
to install NICI:
1 Log in as root.
2 Edit the
/etc/sudoers
configuration file using the visudo command.
NOTE: There is no space between vi and sudo in the command.
Make an entry with the following information:
Username hostname =(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/pkgadd
For example, to enable john to run
/usr/sbin/pkgadd
as root on the hostname sol-2, type
the following:
john sol-2=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/pkgadd
A nonroot user (john in the example) needs to do the following to install NICI:
1 Log in as john and execute the following command:
