Lotus Domino Administrator 6.5 Help - Setting up NDS for a Domino server

REFERENCE

Setting up NDS for a Domino server
To set up NDS for a Domino server, you must first configure NDS for the NetWare client or server and then configure the Domino server to use NDS. To add a class to an NDS schema or add a Domino server NDS object, you need NDS Administrator privileges.

Configuring NDS for a Domino server

1. Install a NetWare-compatible client that supports NDS and IPX/SPX.

2. Make sure the user log-in object has TRUSTEE rights to the directory tree that include BROWSE, CREATE, COMPARE, READ, and WRITE.

3. Log into the NDS tree.

4. For each NDS tree, do one of the following to create a Domino server NDS object class and add the class to the NDS schema:

If you are using NetWare Administrator, choose Tools - Define Notes Class.
If you are using NDSMgr, enter this command:

ndsmgr -c Notes

5. To add each Domino server NDS object to the NDS tree, do the following:

If you are using NetWare Administrator, choose Object - Create - Notes Server Object and enter the Domino server name. You can add information to the description if necessary.
If you are using NDSMgr, enter this command:

ndsmgr -a cn=

server_name

.o=

preferred_tree

,

Where

server_name

is the NDS name of the Domino server and

preferred_tree

is the Preferred Tree name.

6. If you want the Domino server to log into NDS automatically when the server starts, create user log-in objects for the Domino server and make sure each user log-in object has TRUSTEE rights that include BROWSE, CREATE, COMPARE, READ, and WRITE access to the NDS directory tree.

Configuring a Domino server to use NDS

1. Specify a preferred tree and default context. If you are using OS/2 Advanced Warp Server, specify these settings in the NET.CFG file. If you are using Windows NT, specify these settings in the control panel.

2. If you want the Domino server to log in to NDS automatically, edit the NOTES.INI file to include these settings:

NWNDSUSERID=cn=

server_name

.o=

tree_name

Where server_name is the NDS name of the Domino server and tree_name is the name of the tree.

NWNDSPASSWORD=NDS_Service_Password

Where NDS_Service_Password is the password the Domino server uses to log into NDS.

3. If you have not enabled the SPX port, start the Notes workstation and choose File - Preferences - User Preferences - Ports. Select SPX and select Port Enable. Domino automatically enables NDS and Bindery Services.

4. If you use only NDS on all Domino servers in your organization, click SPX Options, select Advanced configuration, and then select NetWare Directory Services (NDS) to disable Bindery Services lookup within Domino.

5. Open the Server document for this server in the Domino Directory and add the NDS server name to the Network Address field on the Ports tab. Include the Domino server's NDS distinguished name.

6. Exit the Notes workstation.
