Setting Up Role Based Services

Before you can add RBS objects to your eDirectory tree, the schema of the tree must be extended to allow RBS object types, and you must create an rbsCollection container to hold all other RBS objects. Typically, the schema extension is performed automatically during the installation of NetWare^® 6. However, you can complete the procedures below to ensure that your tree has the needed schema extensions, container object, and product packages.

Modifying RBS Collection Owners

The user who installed the NetWare 6 server is automatically added as the owner of the first rbsCollection container at install time. For additional rbsCollection containers, the user who creates them is automatically assigned as the owner of the collection.

You can use the Modify rbsCollection Owners page in Novell iManager to delete or change the owner of an rbsCollection container.

When you make a user an owner of an rbsCollection container, you need to grant that user the proper eDirectory rights to fully administer that container. Use ConsoleOne^TM to give the new owner supervisor rights to the rbsCollection container and the objects inside the container (for example, the rbsRole an rbsTask objects). See Administering Rights in ConsoleOne User Guide for more information.
