Using This Guide as a Reference
If you want to install additional OES 2 servers, create a different tree structure than the one specified
in this guide, or diverge from the instructions presented, you can still use these instructions as a
basic outline for setting up OES 2 services in a lab environment. However, be aware that any
divergence from the instructions presented or the order they are presented in, can cause ripple effects
through the rest of the guide. If you need to diverge, refer to the information found in the following
guides for assistance:

Where is Novell Samba?
The Novell Samba service available in previous versions of OES is still available. However, because
it cannot run on the same server as Novell CIFS, instructions for installing and configuring a Samba
service have been removed from this guide.
If you are interested in experimenting with the Novell Samba, refer to the Lab Guide distributed
with the initial release of OES 2 and available from the Previous Releases page on the OES 2
documentation Web site (http://www.novell.com/documentation/oes2/previousreleases.html#previous-releases).

1.8 Setting Up the Server as an SLP Directory Agent
novdocx (en) 22 June 2009
For OES 2 services to work, the OES 2 server must have one of the following:
An eDirectory replica installed on the server. This is not automatic after the third server
installed in a tree because it is not recommended to have more than three to five replicas in the
tree.
This means that in a large network with many servers, most of the servers won’t have replicas,
which leaves only the OpenSLP option.
OpenSLP running on the server with eDirectory as a registered service. This requires that
you configure a network server (for example, the first server in the tree) as an SLP Directory
Agent (DA), and then configure the other network servers that don’t have an eDirectory replica
to point to the DA server.
For the lab setup, you don’t actually need SLP services set up because each of the two lab servers

Novell iManager is the main browser-based tool you use to manage eDirectory and your OES 2
services.
To start iManager and prepare your browser for future sessions:
1 On your lab workstation, in your Web browser, open the OES 2 Welcome page by entering the
following URL:
http://IP_or_DNS
where IP_or_DNS is the IP address or DNS name of your OES 2 server.
2 In the left navigation bar, click Management Services.
3 Under Available Services, click iManager.
You can also start iManager directly by including

1.11 Enabling Pop-Ups for iManager
Some iManager plug-ins use pop-up dialog boxes that are blocked by most browsers. To use
iManager, you must enable pop-ups that originate from the servers where iManager is running.
Because there are as many ways to enable pop-ups as there are browser versions, we are only
including instructions for Firefox 3.5.x. If you are using a different browser, see the help included
with your browser for instructions.
1 On the Firefox menu bar, click Tools > Options > Content.
2 Disable all pop-up blocking by deselecting the Block Popup Windows option and clicking OK.
