2.5 Step 5: Upgrade at Least One Server in the Replica Ring to NetWare 6.5 or Later or eDirectory 8.7.3 or Later

Identify the container that holds the User objects of those users who will be using Universal Password.
Find the partition that holds that container and the User objects.
Identify at least one server that holds a writable replica of the partition.
Upgrade that server to NetWare 6.5 or later or eDirectory 8.7.3 or later.

You do not need to upgrade all servers in your tree in order to enable Universal Password; however, we recommend that you upgrade them all as soon as possible. Plan to upgrade the servers that hold writable replicas first, followed by those with read-only replicas or no replicas. This allows Universal Password support for services on all those servers.

IMPORTANT:If you have LDAP and CIFS (Windows Native Networking) and/or AFP (Macintosh Native Networking) servers that you want to use Universal Password, you must upgrade those servers to NetWare 6.5.
