Use one of the following methods to install NMAS:
Fresh/Media Install: LSM is installed with CIFS by default. NMAS method needs to be installed only once for the entire tree.
Upgrade and Patches: Patches for CIFS NMAS methods are packed with novell-cifs-nmas-methods.rpm. After the rpm is installed, run the following command to update the method version:
nmasinst -addmethod <adminDN> <treeName> <configFile> [-h hostname[:port]] [-w pwd] [-checkversion]
nmasinst -addmethod cn=admin.o=novell CIFS-TREE /opt/novell/cifs/share/nmasmthd/ntlm/config.txt -checkversion
When prompted, type the admin password.
For more information on nmasinst, see Using the nmasinst Utility to Install a Login Method in the Novell Modular Authentication Services 3.3.4 Administration Guide.
After installation or upgrade of NMAS method, ensure that NMAS method is synchronized in eDirectory.
NOTE:During the installation of a newer version of CIFS, it might try to include some NMAS methods that might already be existing on your server. In this case, the following error occurs Add Method: 694 - ERROR: -16024. This occurs only when the patches are updated from the command line interface. This error can be ignored as it does not cause disruption to any service. The NMAS methods present in the server are retained and are not overwritten.
