For MetaFrame Presentation Server to access NDS on Novell servers, one of the following must be installed:
• NDS Version 8.73 for NetWare 5.1
• NDS for eDirectory Version 8.5x for Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 Server, or NetWare 5.x
The minimum software requirements are:
• Novell Client Version 4.8
• MetaFrame XP, Feature Release 1 or later
If you are setting up a server that does not yet have MetaFrame Presentation Server installed, install the Novell Client before you install MetaFrame Presentation Server. If MetaFrame Presentation Server is already installed, follow the procedure below for information about specifying the correct logon.
Important If you install the Novell Client on a server before installing MetaFrame Presentation Server, set the following value in the [386Enh] section of the
System.Ini file before you install MetaFrame Presentation Server:
FileSysChange=off
Make this change in System.ini for all users. If this parameter is not set correctly, MetaFrame Presentation Server Setup reports that the FileSysChange parameter is not valid.
Novell technical document 10058117 refers to this issue. See the Novell knowledgebase on the Web at http://support.novell.com/search/kb_index.jsp for more information.
To change the registry on a server when installing the Novell Client If MetaFrame Presentation Server is installed before you install or upgrade the Novell Client, you must change registry settings on the server before and after you install the Novell Client.
CAUTION Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that can require you to reinstall the operating system. Citrix cannot guarantee that problems resulting from incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk. Make sure you back up the registry before you edit it.
1. Before installing the Novell Client, run regedt32.
2. Edit the registry under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\
CurrentVersion\Winlogon
From the right pane, select GinaDLL and choose String from the Edit menu.
In the String Editor dialog box, type Msgina.dll, a new value for the GinaDLL entry.
3. Install the Novell Client without restarting when prompted.
4. Edit the registry entry for GinaDLL as in Step 2. This time type Ctxgina.dll as the value.
5. With the key path for Winlogon still selected, click Edit on the top menu bar.
6. Click Add Value.
7. Type ctxGinaDLL in the Add Value dialog box. Data Type is REG_SZ.
8. Type nwgina.dll in the String Editor dialog box. This is the new value for the new ctxGinaDLL entry.
9. Restart the server.
To enable or disable NDS support for a server farm
NDS support is disabled for a server farm by default. MetaFrame Presentation Server supports one NDS tree per farm.
1. Connect to a server that has MetaFrame XP Feature Release 1 or later and the Novell Client installed.
2. Select the farm node at the top of the tree and choose Actions > Properties.
3. Click MetaFrame Settings in the left pane of the Property sheet.
4. Enter the NDS tree name in the Novell Directory Services Preferred Tree field.
5. Click OK.
To assign MetaFrame administrator privileges to NDS objects
A MetaFrame administrator can assign MetaFrame administrator privileges to objects in an NDS tree, such as a country, organization, organization unit, group, user, or an alias.
1. In the Console, from the Actions menu, select New > MetaFrame
Administrator. The first page of the Add MetaFrame Administrator wizard appears.
2. On the first page of the Add MetaFrame Administrator wizard, open the NDS tree in the Look in box. Objects in the NDS tree represent container objects and leaf objects.
3. Select the Show Users box to see the user and alias objects in this hierarchy.
4. Open container objects until the object that you want to add to the MetaFrame Administrator list is displayed in the Look in box. Select this object.
5. Click Add. Click Next.
6. Assign the tasks you want the MetaFrame administrator to be able to perform.
7. Click Finish.
This object and those below it have the selected MetaFrame administrator privileges.
To log on to the Presentation Server Console as an NDS user
You need a Distinguished Name, password, and NDS tree name to perform the following steps. If you don’t have this information, consult the Novell or MetaFrame administrator who set up the NDS object to have MetaFrame administrator privileges.
1. Type a Distinguished Name in the User Name field. A full Distinguished Name starts with a period and has a period between each object name.
For example, user JoeX, within two container objects (the Admin organization unit within the PNQ organization) would type the following Distinguished Name in the User Name box:
.JoeX.Admin.PNQ
2. Type the password in the Password box.
3. Type the NDS tree name in the Domain box.
To publish an application for NDS users
1. Log on to the Presentation Server Console as an NDS user.
2. Verify that the intended host server has the Novell Client installed.
3. From the Actions menu, choose New > Published Application.
4. Follow the instructions in the Publish Application wizard. Click Help to obtain detailed help for each step.
5. In the Specify Users dialog box of the Publish Application wizard, double-click to open the NDS tree.
6. Open container or leaf objects until the object to be granted access is in the window.
7. Select the object and click Add. Click Finish.
The object and those under it can access the application.
