Update NetWare 5 Servers Running NMAS before Installing Novell Native File Access Protocols

Before installing Novell Native File Access Protocols (as part of the NetWare 6 installation or otherwise), all NetWare 5 servers (in the tree) running NMASTM must be updated to NMAS 2.0.1, NICI 2.0.1, and ConsoleOneTM 1.3.2.

NMAS 2.0.1, NICI 2.0.1, and ConsoleOne 1.3.2 updates and instructions are available at www.novell.com/downloads.


Beta Files Must Be Removed Prior to Installation

If you installed an earlier version of the AFPTCP or CIFS code (the Beta test release), you need to completely remove it (including the login methods from NDS®) before you reinstall.


Uninstalling the Software

To remove the software, complete the following steps on each server running Novell Native File Access Protocol software.

  1. Run Native File Access for Macintosh* (AFP) Uninstall using NWCONFIG or the GUI Uninstall. Reboot the server or unload the AFPTCP.NLM (AFPSTOP.NCF).

    2.

  2. Run Native File Access for Windows (CIFS) Uninstall using NWCONFIG or the GUI Uninstall. Reboot the server or unload the CIFS NLMTM programs (CIFSSTOP.NCF).

    3.

  3. Use ConsoleOne to remove the NMAS Login Server Methods from NDS.

    1. Go to the root of the tree and select the Security object.

      2.

    2. Right-click the Security object, select the Login Policy object, and then click Properties.

      3.

    3. Delete/deselect LSMAFP and LSMCIFS sequences from Selected Login Methods.

      4.

    4. Close the Properties window.

      5.

    5. Select and delete the LSMAFP and LSMCIFS objects under Security/Authorized Login Methods.

      6.

    NOTE:  The uninstall program removes references to CIFS and AFP from the PRODUCTS.DAT and AUTOEXEC.NCF files. It does not remove the related NLM programs (CIFS.NLM, AFPTCP.NLM) and configuration files (AFPVOL.CFG, CTXS.CFG, CIFSCTXS.CFG, CIFS.CFG).

Intermittent Java Fatal Error

When the installation progress bar shows 100% copy and processing settings, the following error might occur:

If this error occurs, terminate the installation and try again.


Possible Login Error

If you encounter a login error while connecting to the server from a Macintosh or Windows workstation, run ConsoleOne and verify that the Simple Password, LSMCIFS, and LSMAFP login sequences are installed.

If the sequences are not installed, do the following:

    2.

  2. Double-click the Security container.

    3.

  3. Right-click the Login Policy icon and click Properties > New Sequence.

    4.

    6.

  6. Click Apply.

    7.

  7. Repeat the above steps for the LSMAFP and LSMCIFS login sequences.

    8.

  8. Restart the server.
