5.3 Assigning Install Rights for Container Administrators or Non-Administrator Users

If the eDirectory schema has been extended in the tree where you want to create clusters, the container administrator or non-administrator user needs the following eDirectory rights to install and configure Novell Cluster Services. These rights are also required if a different user configures Novell Cluster Services after the install as described in Section 5.5.3, Using Different LDAP Credentials for the Cluster Configuration.

Attribute Modify rights on the NCP Server object of each node in the cluster.

To set the Attribute Modify rights for the user on the nodes’ NCP Server objects:
1. In iManager, select Rights > Modify Trustees.
2. Select the NCP server object for the node, then click Add Trustee.
3. For Entry Rights, set the Browse right.
4. For All Attributes Rights, set the Compare, Read, and Write rights.
5. Click Apply to save and apply your changes.
6. Repeat Step 1 to Step 5 for the NCP Server object of each server that you plan to add to the cluster.
Object Create rights on the container where the NCP Server objects are.

To set the Object Create rights for the user on the container where the NCP Server objects are:
1. In iManager, select Rights > Modify Trustees.
2. Select the Container object, then click Add Trustee.
3. For Entry Rights, set the Browse, Create, and Rename rights.
4. For All Attributes Rights, set the Compare, Read, and Write rights.
5. Click Apply to save and apply your changes.
Object Create rights where the cluster container will be.

This step is needed if the container for the Cluster object is different than the container for the NCP Server objects.

To set the Object Create rights for the user on the container where the Cluster objects will be:
1. In iManager, select Rights > Modify Trustees.
2. Select the Container object, then click Add Trustee.
3. For Entry Rights, set the Browse, Create, and Rename rights.
4. For All Attributes Rights, set the Compare, Read, and Write rights.
5. Click Apply to save and apply your changes.
