3.2 Which Services Do I Need?
We recommend that you review the brief overviews included at the beginning of each service
section in this guide to get a full picture of the solutions that OES 2 offers. It is not uncommon that
administrators discover capabilities in OES that they didn’t know existed.
3.3 Exploring OES 2 services
We also recommend that you explore commonly used OES services by following the step-by-step
instructions provided in the
OES 2 SP2: Lab Guide for Linux and Virtualized NetWare .
3.4 Plan for eDirectory
eDirectory is the heart of OES network services and security.
If you are installing into an existing tree, be sure you understand the information in Section 14.2.3,
“eDirectory Coexistence and Migration,” on page 141 .
If you are creating a new eDirectory tree on your network, you must do some additional planning
before you install the first server into the tree. The first server is important for two reasons:
Š You create the basic eDirectory tree structure during the first installation
Š
The first server permanently hosts the Certificate Authority for your organization
Tomcat Yes Yes NetWare includes Tomcat 4 and a Tomcat 5
servlet container for iManager 2.7. OES 2
includes Tomcat 5. There is no impact to
any of the OES 2 administration tools, which
are tested and supported on both platforms.
