7.5 Making eDirectory Visible on the External IP Address

The Resource Kit VM is set for DHCP on the external IP address. eDirectory might not be visible to any other machines on the external IP address. If you want to make the Resource Kit eDirectory visible externally, you need to apply a script that comes with the Resource Kit. For more information, see Solution for Making eDirectory Visible on the External IP Address in the Identity Manager Resource Kit 1.2 Business Solutions Reference Guide.

The script is named setndsconf.

  1. From the Computer menu, select Gnome Terminal.

  2. Log in as root by entering su, then enter the root password.

  3. Enter cd designer_workspace/RK12/Designer/Documents/Resources/bootscripts/ to access the directory where the setndsconf script file is located.

  4. Enter cp setndsconf /etc/init.d/ to copy the setndsconf script to the correct directory.

  5. Enter chmod 775 /etc/init.d/setndsconf to change the access rights to the file.

  6. Enter yast2 runlevel.

  7. Select the Expert Mode radio button.

  8. Verify that setndsconf is set to run levels 3 and 5.

    1. If it is not set, select 3 and 5, then click Set/Reset.

    2. Select Enable the service, then click Finish.

    3. Click Yes to save the changes.

  9. Enter exit twice to log out as root and close the Gnome Terminal.
