• NDS Location: The <strong>eDirectory</strong> install location in the local system where the libraries and<br />

binaries are copied. By default, <strong>eDirectory</strong> is installed into C:\<strong>Novell</strong>\NDS unless it is<br />

changed in the response file.<br />

• DataDir: Until <strong>eDirectory</strong> version <strong>8.8</strong>, the DIB was installed inside the NDS location as a<br />

subfolder. Later, administrators were given the option to provide a different DIB location,<br />

because there might be too much data stored in the DIB to fit into the NDS location. Currently,<br />

by default the DIB is installed in the DIBFiles subfolder inside the NDS location, but<br />

administrators can change this parameter and provide a different location.<br />

The following is a sample of text in the response file for all the basic parameters described above:<br />

[NWI:NDS]<br />

Upgrade Mode=copy<br />

Tree Name=SLP-TEST<br />

Server Name=NDS-LDAP-P2-NDS<br />

Server Container=<strong>Novell</strong><br />

Server Context=NDS-LDAP-P2-NDS.<strong>Novell</strong><br />

Admin Context=<strong>Novell</strong><br />

Admin Login Name=Admin<br />

Admin Password=novell<br />

NDS Location=E:\<strong>Novell</strong>\NDS<br />

DataDir=E:\<strong>Novell</strong>\NDS\DIBFiles<br />

You can also configure two additional parameters:<br />

• <strong>Installation</strong> Location: This is the same as the NDS Location configured in the previous<br />

section. This location is used by the Installer while copying files to the install location, and the<br />

other location is used by the components to refer to the base <strong>eDirectory</strong> installation while they<br />

are configured. The default value is C:\<strong>Novell</strong>\NDS, if not specified in the response file.<br />

For example:<br />

[<strong>Novell</strong>:DST:1.0.0_Location]<br />

Path=file:/C:\<strong>Novell</strong>\NDS<br />

• System Location: The <strong>eDirectory</strong> Installer requires access to the system folder to copy DLLs<br />

and to access system-specific files during installation. This parameter must be configured with<br />

the path to the system folder of the machine where the server is installed.<br />

For example:<br />

[<strong>Novell</strong>:SYS32_DST:1.0.0_Location]<br />

Path=file:/C:\WINNT\system32<br />

The following screen appears when the server collects the above parameters from the response file.<br />
