10.20 CIS Configuration Fails With an Error

If CIS is the first server installed on the tree, the schema is not updated. Therefore, while configuring CIS an "Undefined Attribute Type" error is displayed. To resolve this issue, extend the eDirectory schema for the CIS server.

To extend the eDirectory schema, perform the following:

  • If eDirectory and CIS is installed on the same server, run the following command:

    /opt/novell/eDirectory/bin/ndssch -h <IP address or hostname where eDirectory or CIS is running> 'cn=admin.o=novell' <file path of cis.sch>

    For example,

    /opt/novell/eDirectory/bin/ndssch -h 192.168.0.1 'cn=admin.o=novell' /opt/novell/cis/schema/cis.sch

    OR

  • If eDirectory and CIS is installed on different servers, perform the following:

    1. Copy the cis.sch file from /opt/novell/cis/schema to eDirectory server.

    2. Run the following command:

      /opt/novell/eDirectory/bin/ndssch -h <IP address or hostname where eDirectory is running> 'cn=admin.o=novell' <file path of cis.sch>

      For example,

      /opt/novell/eDirectory/bin/ndssch -h 192.168.0.1 'cn=admin.o=novell' /root/cis.sch
