12 ConsoleOne 1.3.x User Guide

Getting Started

ConsoleOne® is a Java*-based tool for managing your network and its resources. By default, it lets you manage:

 Novell

 NetWare

If you install other Novell products, additional capabilities are snapped in to ConsoleOne automatically. For example, if you install Novell eDirectory, the capability to configure the LDAP interface to eDirectory is snapped in to ConsoleOne automatically.

This chapter explains what's new in this ConsoleOne release, why you should use ConsoleOne instead of legacy tools like NetWare Administrator, and how to install and start ConsoleOne.

In This Chapter

1.1 What's New in This Release?

This release includes several core capabilities that are new since ConsoleOne 1.2d. The following sections elsewhere in this guide describe these capabilities:

 Section 1.3, “Accessibility Improvements,” on page 16

 “Checking Partition Continuity” on page 75

In addition, the following capabilities have been enhanced in this release of ConsoleOne:

Capability Enhancement

Section 2.1, “Browsing and Finding Objects,” on page 29

Section 3.1, “Creating User Accounts,” on page 41

If a tree is running NDS eDirectory 8.5 or later and is configured for DNS federation, you can access contexts in that tree whether or not you are logged in to it. This enables you to make rights and membership assignments across trees.

You can now create rights assignments and volume space restrictions for new users through a template.

Section 6.2, “Defining and Using Auxiliary Classes,” on page 67

You can now extend individual eDirectory objects with the properties defined in auxiliary classes. Previously, only applications could do this.

Section 8.1, “Viewing and Modifying Server and File System Information,” on page 81

Section 2.3, “Editing Object Properties,” on page 34

Section 1.5, “Installing and Starting ConsoleOne,” on page 17

You can now modify the properties of multiple files, folders, or volumes simultaneously. You can also launch NetWare Management Portal from the server object.

You can now customize the property pages for each type of object by reordering, hiding, or showing individual pages. Your customizations are saved across ConsoleOne sessions.

You can now install and run ConsoleOne on Linux*, Solaris*, and Tru64* computers in addition to Windows and NetWare.

NOTE: The following are applicable to ConsoleOne 1.3.6h or higher versions.

 JRE 1.4.2_13 is bundled with ConsoleOne 1.3.6h release.

 Xplat libraries have been removed from ConsoleOne Windows build.

 Novell Client Version 4.91 SP3 or higher is recommended.

1.2 Why Use ConsoleOne?

Novell is committed to ConsoleOne as a single management tool and is working hard to improve its capabilities and performance so you won't need legacy tools like NetWare Administrator. Following are some of the advantages of ConsoleOne over legacy tools. A few limitations are also listed after the advantages.

Advantage Explanation

Use on a Windows* computer or a NetWare server

Manage the latest Novell products

Browse huge eDirectory trees

Access eDirectory resources through DNS federation

Because ConsoleOne is Java-based, it can run on Windows, NetWare, Linux*, Solaris*, and Tru64 UNIX*. The legacy NetWare Administrator, NDS ManagerTM, and Schema Manager tools run only on Windows.

ConsoleOne lets you manage the latest Novell products and enhancements, whereas NetWare Administrator and other legacy tools aren't being updated to do so. For example, you can administer DirXML, Single Sign-on, and Certificate Server only in ConsoleOne.

If your tree is running NDS 8 and has containers with thousands of objects, browsing it in ConsoleOne is faster and more consistent. NetWare Administrator is slower opening large containers and is limited by available RAM.

If a tree is running NDS eDirectory 8.5 or later and is configured for DNS federation, ConsoleOne lets you access contexts in that tree whether or not you are logged in to the tree. This allows you to treat multiple eDirectory trees as a single system for purposes of assigning rights and memberships. No legacy tool exposes this capability. See Section 2.1,

“Browsing and Finding Objects,” on page 29.

14 ConsoleOne 1.3.x User Guide

Advantage Explanation

novdocx (en) 6 April 2007

Create filtered eDirectory replicas

Generate eDirectory reports

Create all eDirectory object types

Modify all object types, one at a time or several at once

Define and use auxiliary classes

If your tree is running NDS eDirectory 8.5 or later, ConsoleOne lets you create filtered replicas that contain only the objects and properties needed for synchronization with specific applications like PeopleSoft*. No legacy tool has this capability. See Section 7.2, “Managing Replication,” on

page 78.

ConsoleOne lets you generate reports on eDirectory objects, users, groups, and security. No legacy tool has these capabilities. See

“Generating Reports” on page 89.

ConsoleOne lets you create any object type defined in the schema of your eDirectory tree, including custom types you've added. NetWare Administrator can only create object types for which it has snap-ins. See

Section 2.2, “Creating and Manipulating Objects,” on page 32.

ConsoleOne lets you generically edit any object property defined in the schema of your eDirectory tree, including custom properties you've added. No legacy tool has this capability. ConsoleOne also lets you modify multiple objects of any class in a single operation, including files and folders on NetWare volumes. NetWare Administrator lets you do this only on User objects. See Section 2.2, “Creating and Manipulating Objects,” on

page 32.

ConsoleOne lets you define auxiliary classes and extend any eDirectory object with the properties defined in auxiliary classes. No legacy tool has this capability. See Section 6.2, “Defining and Using Auxiliary Classes,” on

page 67.

Assign ASN.1 identifiers to classes and attributes

Set up role-based administration

ConsoleOne lets you assign ASN.1 identifiers to object classes and attributes in the schema of your eDirectory tree. No legacy tool has this capability. See Section 6.1, “Defining Custom Object Classes and

Properties,” on page 66.

ConsoleOne lets you create roles in eDirectory so you can delegate administrative responsibilities. A role is a list of specific application functions that a person can perform. For an application function to be added to a role, it must exist as a task object in your eDirectory tree. For details, see “Configuring Role-Based Administration” on page 59.

At the time of this publishing, ConsoleOne also has a few limitations compared to legacy tools. Most of these will no longer exist in future releases.

Limitation Explanation

Can't manage print services

Can't remotely repair eDirectory or check partition continuity

Can't generate eDirectory schema reports

For now, you should use NetWare Administrator to manage network print services.

For now, you should use the legacy NDS Manager tool to remotely repair eDirectory on individual servers, to check partition continuity, or to abort a partition operation that was started by another administrator.

For now, you should use the legacy Schema Manager tool to generate reports on the schema of your eDirectory tree, unless you design your own report forms to generate schema reports in ConsoleOne. See Section 9.4,

“Designing Custom Reports,” on page 96.

Getting Started 15

Limitation Explanation

novdocx (en) 6 April 2007

Can't create or run new user setup scripts

Can't manage some older Novell products

Performance can be sluggish on older hardware

Minor user-interface quirks

ConsoleOne lets you create all aspects of user templates except for setup scripts. Also, ConsoleOne can't execute a setup script when creating a new user account from a template. You must use NetWare Administrator to perform these tasks.

A few older Novell products haven't shipped ConsoleOne snap-ins yet, such as NetWare for SAA*. For now, you can use NetWare Administrator to manage these products.

Because ConsoleOne is Java-based, it can be sluggish when run on older hardware. If you have the hardware configuration recommended in

Section 1.5, “Installing and Starting ConsoleOne,” on page 17,

performance is reasonably good. The biggest performance booster is adding RAM.

ConsoleOne still has a few minor quirks in the user interface. For details, see Section 10.10, “Known Quirks and Limitations,” on page 102.

1.3 Accessibility Improvements

ConsoleOne 1.3.x on Windows includes enhancements in the software and documentation to make accessibility easier for people with disabilities.

If you are unfamiliar with the control or shortcut keys used in Java software, you can find a list of these keys at the Swing Component Keystroke Assignments (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/

javax/swing/doc-files/Key-Index.html) We b si te.

To navigate in the JavaHelp online help system, you can use the tab keys to navigate to control icons. JavaHelp loses focus when the text window is active, although the up and down arrows will scroll the help text. You can also use the following JavaHelp controls:

 Ctrl+T = next link

 Ctrl+Shift+T = previous link

 Ctrl+Space = activate selected link

JavaHelp 1.1 is currently inaccessible via JAWS screen reader software. To access JavaHelp with a screen reader, use the IBM Self-Voicing Kit available from the AlphaWorks (http://

www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/svk) Web s ite .

1.3.1 Accessibility Usage

To enable the new ConsoleOne accessibility feature, complete the following procedure:

1 Install Java Access Bridge.

The Java Access Bridge exposes the Java Accessibility API in a Windows DLL so that Windows Assistive Technologies can interact with Java applications that use the Java Accessibility API.

To set up the Java Access Bridge for use with ConsoleOne, complete the following steps:

1a Download the Java Access Bridge from the Java Access Bridge Website (http://

java.sun.com/products/accessbridge).

16 ConsoleOne 1.3.x User Guide

1b Unpack the Java Access Bridge into the C:\AccessBridge-1_2 directory and enter the

following:

C:\AccessBridge-1_2\installer\Install

For more information on installing and configuring the Java Access Bridge, see the Java

Access Bridge readme (http://java.sun.com/products/accessbridge/README.txt).

2 Place a copy of the C:\AccessBridge-1_2\installer\installerFiles\accessibility.properties file in

the ConsoleOne_installation_path\JRE\LIB folder. By default, this folder is at C:\NOVELL\CONSOLEONE\1.2\JRE\LIB.

1.4 Snap-Ins from Other Products

If you installed or will install a product that includes ConsoleOne snap-ins and you want to retain those snap-ins in this release of ConsoleOne, make sure those snap-ins are installed in the same place as this release of ConsoleOne. The following are some points to consider:

 ConsoleOne 1.2 snap-ins are compatible with this release of ConsoleOne, but ConsoleOne 1.1

snap-ins aren't.

novdocx (en) 6 April 2007

If your product provides only ConsoleOne 1.1 snap-ins, you might want to install this release of ConsoleOne in a different place than ConsoleOne 1.1. By default, ConsoleOne 1.1 is installed on the NetWare server in sys:\public\mgmt\console1.

 Novell products typically install ConsoleOne snap-ins on the SYS volume of a NetWare server.

For example, NDS 8 installs the snap-in for LDAP in sys:\public\mgmt\consoleone\1.2.

 If you install this release of ConsoleOne on the SYS volume of a NetWare server, it overwrites

ConsoleOne 1.2x and disables ConsoleOne 1.1. However, existing ConsoleOne 1.2 snap-ins are retained.

 If you install this release of ConsoleOne locally on a workstation hard disk, other products such

as eDirectory might not be able to find the right place to add snap-ins to the installation. In such a case, it is up to you to move any snap-ins from other products into the new installation.

 On NetWare, move the snap-in to sys\public\mgmt\consoleone\1.2.

 On Windows, move the snap-ins to c:\novell\consoleone\1.2.

 On UNIX, move the snap-ins to /usr/ConsoleOne/bin/ConsoleOne.

 To see a list of registered ConsoleOne snap-ins installed on your ConsoleOne machine, click

Help > About Snap-ins. Click the name of an individual snap-in to view the version number.

 Updated Novell product snap-ins can be downloaded from the Novell Product Downloads Site

(http://download.novell.com).

1.5 Installing and Starting ConsoleOne

ConsoleOne is typically installed as part of a larger product, such as Novell eDirectory or NetWare. If this release of ConsoleOne hasn't been installed by a larger product, you can install it using the procedure below for your platform.

In This Section

Getting Started 17

 “Linux” on page 21

 “Solaris” on page 23

 “Tru64 UNIX” on page 24

1.5.1 Windows

You can install and run ConsoleOne locally on a Windows workstation or server, or you can install it remotely on a NetWare or Windows server and run it through a mapped or shared drive pointing to that server. If you install locally on a workstation, other Novell products such as Novell eDirectory might not be able to add needed snap-ins to your installation. For this reason, we recommend a server installation.

Starting ConsoleOne on Windows

novdocx (en) 6 April 2007

If ConsoleOne is installed locally on the Windows computer, simply double-click the ConsoleOne icon on the desktop.

If ConsoleOne is installed remotely on a NetWare or Windows server and you don't have a shortcut to that installation, do the following:

1 In Windows Explorer, find the mapped or shared drive that represents the server volume where

ConsoleOne is installed > browse to the folder where ConsoleOne is installed.

By default, this is:

Windows c:\novell\consoleone\1.2

NetWare sys:public\mgmt\consoleone\1.2

IMPORTANT: You must browse for ConsoleOne on a drive that is mapped to a letter, not a UNC path.

2 In the BIN subfolder, double-click consoleone.exe.

3 (Optional) For future use, create a shortcut on your desktop to the remote consoleone.exe file.

For help with navigating and performing basic tasks in ConsoleOne, see “Administration Basics” on

page 29. If you encounter problems starting or using ConsoleOne, see “Troubleshooting” on page 99.

Configuring ConsoleOne Accessibility

To make ConsoleOne accessible to Windows assistive technologies, you must install the Java Access Bridge. The Java Access Bridge is a technology used to expose the Java Accessibility API in a Windows DLL so that Windows assistive technologies can provide access to applications and applets running with a Java Virtual Machine running on a Windows system which implement the Java Accessibility API.

Getting Started 19

To set up the Java Access Bridge for use with ConsoleOne, follow these steps:

1 Download the Java Access Bridge from the Java Access Bridge (http://java.sun.com/products/

accessbridge) Web s ite .

2 Unpack the Java Access Bridge into the c:\accessbridge-1_0 directory > run the following

command:

c:\accessbridge-1_0\installer\install

For more information on installing and configuring the Java Access Bridge, see the Java

Access Bridge Readme (http://java.sun.com/products/accessbridge/README.txt).

3 Place a copy of the following files in your novell\consoleone\1.2\consoleoneext directory:

jaccess-1_3.jar[lnbrk]access-bridge.jar

4 Place a copy of accessibility.properties in your novell\consoleone\1.2\jre\lib directory.

5 Copy the following files to your Windows DLL directory (for example, c:\winnt\system32 or

c:\windows\system):

javaaccessbridge.dll[lnbrk]windowsaccessbridge.dll

Administration Basics

In ConsoleOne®, your network and its resources are presented as a set of objects that are organized into various containers, with My World at the top. Use the left pane to expand and collapse containers. Use the right pane to work with specific resources.

Figure 2-1 ConsoleOne Management Tool

novdocx (en) 6 April 2007

In general, you perform administration tasks by browsing to an object, right-clicking it, and then selecting an action. The available actions depend on the type of object. For example, the New Object action is available only on containers.

This chapter explains how to perform essential tasks like finding objects, creating and modifying objects, and organizing objects into containers. For information on common Novell object types, see “Object Classes and Properties (http://www.novell.com/documentation/edir871/

eDirectoryTM

2.1 Browsing and Finding Objects

In the left pane you'll see the “NDS” container, which holds the eDirectory trees that you are currently logged in to. You can cause additional eDirectory trees to appear in the NDS container by

logging in to those trees. For trees that are running NDS® eDirectory 8.5 or later and are configured for DNS federation, you can cause specific contexts of those trees to appear in the NDS container without actually logging in to those trees.

Once you are in an eDirectory tree or context and its objects are listed in the right pane, you can use the techniques described below to locate the specific objects you want to manage.
