2.1 Overview

If you are not using the Novell NetWare Bindery/NDS Security Client, you may skip this section.

The NDS (Netware Directory Services) Security Client is a Novell NLM that runs on Novell Netware Server 4.X.

The Bindery Security Client is a Novell NLM runs on Novell NetWare Server 3.11 or 4.X.

When a remote user dials into an AccessBuilder and provides the login information, the AccessBuilder server generates a validation request to the Bindery/NDS Security Client. The Bindery/NDS Security Client then initiates an authentication session with the Novell Netware server Bindery/NDS services. Based on the result of the authentication session, the Bindery/NDS security Client sends a validation response back to the AccessBuilder server and indicates to the user that the authentication has failed or passed.

2.2.Installation To install the Bindery/NDS Security Client on a NetWare server, perform the following steps (on the object server):

1Verify that TCPIP NLM is running (by verifying the autoexec.ncf file).

If not, verify that Ethernet_II frame type is used. Bind IP to Ethernet_II frame type. Following this, at the server prompt load TCPIP NLM.

The following are examples of an autoexec.ncf file which loads NetWare Bindery Services, and NetWare Directory Services security clients:
