• 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 />
