Running the Client on an eDirectory Server
The Client and Sun JVM 1.3.1 are installed with eDirectory. To open the Client in interactive mode
on an eDirectory server, do the following:
NetWare, Linux, and UNIX: At the command line, enter
edirutil -i
.
Windows: Run
drive
\novell\nds\edirutil.exe -i
The edirutil file gives you a shortcut to running the Client. It points to the Java executable and the
default location where the Client is installed with eDirectory, and for NetWare, it includes the
necessary -ns option (which is a Java option on NetWare meaning “new screen”). (You can also
enter the information manually, as described in
“Setting Up the Path and Classpath for Client” on
page 553
.)
You must have access behind the firewall to use the command line client for the servers you want to
manage—so if you are remote, you'll need VPN access.
Running the Client on a Workstation
To use the Client on a machine other than an eDirectory server:
Copy the eMBoxClient.jar file from an eDirectory server to your machine.
NetWare:
sys:\system\\eMBoxClient.jar
Windows:
\novell\nds\\eMBoxClient.jar
Linux and UNIX:
/opt/novell/eDirectory/lib/nds-modules//eMBoxClient.jar
Make sure the machine has Sun JVM 1.3.1 installed.
Make sure you have access behind the firewall to use the command line client for the servers
you want to manage.
You can't use the edirutil command on a workstation as a shortcut to getting in to the Client in
interactive mode as you can on a server. You must either set up the environment once in your path
and class path, or enter it manually each time. See
“Setting Up the Path and Classpath for Client” on
page 553
.
Setting Up the Path and Classpath for Client
If you are running the Client on an eDirectory server and have not changed the location of Java or
the eMBoxClient.jar file, you can use
edirutil
as a shortcut to running the Client. (See
“Running
the Client on an eDirectory Server” on page 553
.)
But if you have changed the default locations, or you are running the eMBoxClient.jar file on a
machine that is not a server, or you want to enter the classpath manually, you need to set up the path
and classpath for the Client as explained in this section.
