14.3.1 Overview of eDirectory LDAP Services
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Services for Novell eDirectory is a server
application that lets LDAP clients access information stored in eDirectory.
Most OES 2 services leverage the LDAP server for eDirectory for authentication, as illustrated in
the service overviews in this guide.
14.3.2 Planning eDirectory LDAP Services
LDAP for eDirectory provides LDAP authentication for the objects stored in eDirectory. As you
plan your eDirectory tree, be sure you understand the information in “
Understanding LDAP
Services for Novell eDirectory ” in the Novell eDirectory 8.8 Administration Guide .
14.3.3 Migration of eDirectory LDAP Services
If you have users in an OpenLDAP database and you want to migrate them to eDirectory, you can
use the Novell Import Conversion Export (ICE) utility. For more information, see “
Novell
eDirectory Management Utilities ” in the Novell eDirectory 8.8 Administration Guide .
14.3.4 eDirectory LDAP Implementation Suggestions
For help with setting up and using LDAP for eDirectory, refer to “ Configuring LDAP Services for
Novell eDirectory ” in the Novell eDirectory 8.8 Administration Guide .
14.4 Domain Services for Windows
Novell Domain Services for Windows (DSfW) allows eDirectory users on Windows workstations to
access storage on both OES servers and Windows servers through native Windows and Active
Directory authentication and file service protocols.
DSfW enables companies with Active Directory and Novell eDirectory deployments to achieve
better coexistence between the two platforms.
Š
Users can work in a pure Windows desktop environment and still take advantage of some OES
back-end services and technology, without the need for a Novell Client™ or even a matching
local user account on the Windows workstation.
Š
Network administrators can use Microsoft Management Console (MMC) to administer users
and groups within the DSfW domain, including their access rights to Samba-enabled storage on
OES servers.
