Overview

The NMAS installation adds a set of containers, objects, and attributes to the eDirectory tree to support NMAS. NMAS software is comprised of server software and client software. The server software is installed on NetWare® 5.1 or later, Windows 2000*, Windows NT* 4.0, Linux, AIX, or Solaris servers. The client software is installed on Windows client workstations. eDirectory must be installed. See Minimum Requirements for more details.

The NMAS server software is installed from a Windows client workstation for Windows 2000/NT and NetWare, and from the server console for UNIX. You must have administrator rights to the Security container at the [Root] of the eDirectory tree for the first installation of NMAS server.

The NMAS client software must be installed on each client workstation where you want to use the NMAS login methods. If you are not using the latest version of the Novell ClientTM software, you will be prompted to upgrade your software. The latest Novell Client software is available for download from the Novell Web site.The Novell Client for Windows NT/2000/XP version 4.9 or later has the NMAS client integrated into it. If you are running this client, you do not need to install the NMAS client software.

You can only install one set of components during an installation session. For example, if you choose to install the client components the first time you run the install, you must run the installation program a second time to install the server components.

You must also install ConsoleOneTM 1.3.6 or later on the NMAS server or on a workstation. ConsoleOne is available for download from the Novell Web site.
