server installed and then roll it out to the other servers that have installed ZENworks Linux

Management clients.

Figure 1-2 eDirectory Distribution through RedCarpet

1.3 Installing and Configuring eDirectory

Through YaST

On SLES 9.1 or otherwise known as Open Enterprise Server (OES), you can install and configure

eDirectory 8.8 through YaST.

For more information on installing and configuring eDirectory through YaST, refer to the Novell

eDirectory 8.8 Installation Guide (http://www.novell.com/documentation/edir88/edirin88/data/

a79kg0w.html#bv1lxl8).

1.4 Installing eDirectory 8.8 in a Custom

Location

eDirectory 8.8 gives you the flexibility to install the application, data, and configuration files in a

location of your choice.

One of the scenarios for installing eDirectory 8.8 in a custom location is when you already have an

earlier version of eDirectory installed on your host and you want to test eDirectory 8.8 before

upgrading to it. This way, you can have your existing eDirectory setup undisturbed and also test this

new version. You can then decide whether you want to retain your existing version or want to

upgrade to eDirectory 8.8.
