You have three ways of installing a login method for use in Novell eDirectory:
nmasinst utility (UNIX and Windows), which allows you to install login methods into eDirectory.
Novell iManager (UNIX and Windows), which allows you to install login and post-login methods into eDirectory.
ConsoleOne (Windows), which allows you to install login and post-login methods into eDirectory.
From the server console command line, enter:
nmasinst -addmethod admin.context treename config.txt_path [-h hostname[:port]] [-w password] [-checkversion]
admin.context: The admin name and context.
treename: The name of the eDirectory tree where you are installing the login method.
config.txt_ path - The complete or relative path to the config.txt file of the login method. A config.txt file is provided with each login method.
[-h hostname[:port]]: (Optional) The hostname and port of the server. Use this if eDirectory is not running on the default port.
[-w password]: This option is used to specify the password on the command line.
[-checkversion]: This option reports an error if the installed method version is the same or newer than the method version being installed.
If the login method already exists, nmasinst updates it.
