You have three ways of installing a login method for use in Novell eDirectoryTM:
The login method installer (methodinstaller.exe) is a standalone utility that installs login methods into eDirectory.
The nmasinst utility allows you to install login methods into eDirectory from a UNIX machine. The nmasinst utility is located in the \usr\bin\nmasinst directory.
You can also use ConsoleOne to install login and post-login methods into eDirectory.
Double-click on the login method installer executable (methodinstaller.exe).
Read the Welcome screen, then click Next.
Click the boxes next to the methods you want to install.
If you want to install a login method that does not appear on the list, click Change Directory and locate the nmasmethod directory that contains the login method you want to install, then click Next.
Log in to the eDirectory tree as an administrator or a user with administrative rights. Provide the required authentication information, then click Next.
(Conditional) If your LDAP server requires encrypted passwords, you will be prompted to accept the server's certificate for establishing a secure SSL connection or provide a certificate of your own. Accept or provide the certificate, then click Next.
Read the license agreement, click Accept, then click Next.
Review the login method information. You can change the name of the login method. The method name will used as the object name in eDirectory.
Click Next.
Review the Module list > click Next.
If you want to create a login sequence that will use this login method, check the box next to Create Login Sequence and accept the default name, or provide a different name for the login sequence. If you don't want to create a login sequence, uncheck the box next to Create Login Sequence.
Click Next.
If the login method you are installing has ConsoleOne snap-ins that need to be installed, use the Browse button to provide a path to the directory where consoleone.exe resides on your server. Double-click the consoleone.exe file, then click Next.
Review the list of methods that have been successfully installed, then click Finish.
IMPORTANT: Before you can install a login method using the nmasinst utility, you must first install and configure NMAS on UNIX. See the instructions in the installation guide for installing NMAS on UNIX.
From the server console command line, enter:
nmasinst -addmethod admin.context treename config.txt path [-h hostname[:port]]
If the login method already exists, nmasinst will update it.
