!!! Overview
!What Instances are on a Machine?
Need to tell what instances of eDirectory are on a given machine?
[{TableOfContents}]
!! 8.8.x
As there can be more than one instance the instances are listed in:
* /etc/opt/novell/eDirectory/conf
If there is only one instance, by default the conf file is:
* /etc/opt/novell/eDirectory/conf/nds.conf
! [eDirectory Multiple Instance]
A file with each instance is stored in the [N4u.server.configdir] in a format similar to:
%%prettify
{{{
<n4u.server.configdir>/.edir/instances.<UIDNUMBER>
}}}
Each line in the instances file should contain the full path to each eDirectory Instance [nds.conf] file owned by the User's <UIDNUMBER>.
So the file for the root user would be:
%%prettify
{{{
/etc/opt/novell/eDirectory/conf/.edir/instances.0
}}}
We use this [command-line]:
%%prettify
{{{
cat "/etc/opt/novell/eDirectory/conf/.edir/instances.$EUID"
}}} /%
which will return all the instances for the user that is currently logged in.
!!NOTE
Some of the parameters in the [Nds.conf] file are also stored as attributes within eDirectory. When the eDirectory attribute is modified, then the nds.conf file is updated. When the various services for eDirectory start, they read the parameters in the [Nds.conf] file to use when starting their respective services and they set the respective attributes in eDirectory.
! DESCRIPTION
The [nds.conf] file contains a list of configuration parameters for configuring Novell [eDirectory]. This file is read by the [eDirectory] daemon, [NDSD], when it is started. The configuration file is stored in the [UTF-8] format.
The "http" prefixed entries are used by the [HTTP Server Object|HTTPServerObject].
!! [ndsconfig Parameters]
These are the [ndsconfig Parameters] we know about.
Each parameter entry would be a single line within the [{$pagename}] file, if set.
!! Category
%%category [eDirectory]%%
