In versions prior to ZENworks Configuration Management SP3, you need to specify the additional
LDAP servers for a ZENworks Server in the
alt-servers.properties
configuration file located
in the following directory on the ZENworks Server:
Windows:
c:\program files\novell\zenworks\conf\datamodel\authsource
Linux:
/etc/opt/novell/zenworks/datamodel/authsource
However, in ZENworks 10 Configuration Management SP3 (10.3), you can specify additional
LDAP servers by using ZENworks Control Center or the zman command line utility.
If you upgrade from Novell ZENworks 10 Configuration Management 10.2.x to ZENworks 10
Configuration Management SP3 (10.3), you need to manually redefine the existing additional LDAP
servers specified in the
alt-servers.properties
file. For more information on how to add or
redefine the additional LDAP servers for the ZENworks Server, see the following sections:
Section 31.6.1, “Using ZENworks Control Center to Define Additional LDAP Servers for a
ZENworks Server,” on page 269
Section 31.6.2, “Using the zman Command Line Utility to Define Additional LDAP Servers
for a ZENworks Server,” on page 270
