The NetIQ eDirectory Management Toolbox (eMBox) lets you access all of the eDirectory backend utilities remotely as well as on the server.
eMBox works with NetIQ iManager to provide Web-based access to eDirectory utilities such as DSRepair, DSMerge, Backup and Restore, and Service Manager.
IMPORTANT:Role Based Services must be configured through iManager to the tree that is to be administered in order for eMBox tasks to be run.
All functions are accessible, either on the local server or remotely, through a command line client. You can perform tasks for multiple servers from one server or workstation using the eMBox Client. To run all eDirectory Management Tools (eMTools), including Backup, DSRepair, DSMerge, Schema Operations, and eDirectory Service Manager, eMBox must be loaded and running on the eDirectory server.
When running the command serviceStop -n{service}, where {service} is one of the services (libsasl.so, libncpengine.so, libhttpstk.so, or libdsloader.so), the following error occurs:
Service {service} could not be stopped, Error : -660
This is not an error. You cannot stop these processes (specifically libsasl.so, libncpengine.so, libhttpstk.so, and libdsloader.so), because there are other modules dependent on them.
If you have roll forward logs in a default location, while performing Restore operation using DSBK or eMBox Client, you will get -6020 error. To avoid this error, you need to give -s switch in the restore command.
Deletion of a moved object might fail (error -637) in a tree with two or more servers.
Moving a Dynamic Group object with dynamicgroup in the Object Class attribute to another container breaks the dynamic group functionality. After the move, queries and searches on dynamic members do not work.
When you repair the network addresses through eMBox, it throws the following errors because eMBox is not updated with the recent fixes for repair:
ERROR: Could not find a net address for this server - Error : 11004
ERROR: Could not connect. Error : 11004
To view the French man page on Red Hat Linux, export the following:
export MANPATH=/opt/novell/man/frutf8:/opt/novell/eDirectory/man/frutf8
Deletion of a moved object might fail (error -637) in a tree with two or more servers.
eDirectory does not generate a Logout event when you log out of iManager. This is because of a technical limitation in the client part of eDirectory.
Auditing applications can use NWDS APIs to receive logout events. Applications that use LDAP can monitor logout with unbind events.
TIME and TAGS tags are displayed as enabled (underlined), but not by default. When the TERM is set to VT100 or xterm from a Linux terminal, these tags are displayed as if they are enabled (underlined). This issue does not occur for any other term, such as dtterm.
eMBox does not handle double-byte characters for setting a roll-forward directory through the eMBox client and iManager. This can still be done by using DSBK.
