I just installed 6.200. And tried to get it work with the eDirectory on our Novell 6.5 Server... (Use SSL, entered the context). But If I click on >Browse eDirectory
In order to help Novell Customers get up to speed with our new features, we created a Wiki with all relevant informations: http://nsm-wiki.astaro.com
In your case i am surprised that it staies empty.
For the eDirectory browser to work, you need to configure the IP/Port/SSL settings. the Context is optional and is only used for the actual authentication.
If you entered this information and start the eDir Browser, the WebGUI will create an anonymous ldap bind to your edirectory, trying to read the tree structure.
If your access control of your eDirectory does not allow an anonymous bind to read everything, you need to - enable "SSO" - enter BindDN and password, which is able to read the structure - disable "SSO"
than the next time you open the eDir Browser, it will use this BaseDN to connect the eDirectory.
I suggest that you add a specific "ASG user" that only is allowed to read the tree and use that one.
Beside that: At the moment you click the button "Browse eDirectory" you will see some rudimentary informations in the logfile /var/log/httpd.log ("HTTP daemon" in Webadmin). At least you should see a message "Can't connect!", if the problem is related to the connection itself.
For the authentication I found something in /var/log/aua.log
For now I am trying to get SSO (Single Sign On) to work. Does someone know if there are special Client Properties needed? I have never used SSO before, does NMAS have to be installed?
In order to use SSO you do not need any additonal software on the clients besides the regular Netware Client. So you do NOT need Client trust (CLNTRUST) or NMAS or NICI or any other Novell software.
Mmmhhh...
do not get it to work. If I enable SSO in HTTP Proxy for example,
I still get the Proxy Authentication Dialog (in Firefox).
If I enter my username and password I am able to use the proxy
(but this is not SSO I think)...
seems the "SSO bind user" does not have permission to search for the IP address in the eDirectory. Do you have a "SSO bind user" set? Are you able to see all objects by using the eDirectory Browser?
Hi, I have the exact same problem. At the moment, my SSO bind user is the admin user itself. I'm able to browse eDirectory objects, although it seems kind of slow. Maybe there's some kind of timeout envolved. I hope someone will find a fix, I could really use it. Thanks
- Installed a machine with an IP-Only Client -> no change - The IP Adress I see in the AUA.LOG is the IP Adress of the machine which tries to use the Proxy -> so this is correct - I have a special SSO User Created to connect to the eDirectory, for testing purposes I used "admin" to see if I configured the wrong user but the user seems to be correct
I will check if I can get something via DSTRACE...
