These steps assume that Apache, Tomcat, and LDAP over SSL are all functioning on the server.

fix

It is recommended to reinstall iManager 2.0.2 from the NetWare 6.5 SP1, SP2 or SP3 PRODUCT CD when possible. If running NetWare 6.5 SP4, please use the NetWare 6.5 SP3 overlay CD. iManager 2.0.2 is not included on the SP4 overlay CD. This can be downloaded at http://support.novell.com/filefinder/18197/index.html

Download the NetWare 6.5 SP1, SP2 or SP3 (recommended) Products Overlay CD. The following is so that you know what the installation is actually doing. The preferred method is to use the NetWare 6.5 Product CD to reinstall iManager 2.0.2. These steps assume that Tomcat 4 and Apache 2 are already installed and running. It also assumes that LDAP over SSL is working.

1. Extract the main iManager 2.0.2 files from the overlay CD to SYS:\tmp on the server. These files consist of 3 main files and a collection of NPM package files. On the NetWare 6.5 SPx Product CD, the files are in the EXTEND directory under PRODUCTS. The files are:

NPS.WAR
platform.xar
NPS-APACHE.CONF (in the CONF dir)
All NPM files in the PACKAGES dir

NOTE: make sure that the platform.xar and nps.war files are in lower case after copying to the server. By default platform.xar is, but nps.war is not.

2. Stop Tomcat, Tomcat admin, Apache Web Manager and Apache for NetWare by typing the following at the server console.

        For NW6.5:                    (For NW6.0 it would be as follows:)
        tc4stop                        tomcat33 -stop (or java -exit if that doesn't stop it)
        tcadmdn                      tc4stop
        ap2webdn                   nvxadmdn
        admsrvdn

3. Delete the sys:tomcat\4\work\standalone\localhost\nps directory (nps and below). Also, rename the nps directory (if it exists) under sys:\tomcat\4\webapps

(If you are unable to rename this directory, comment out the following commands from the AUTOEXEC.NCF and reboot the server then try again.)

tomcat4
tcadmup
ap2webup
admsrvup

4. Copy SYS:\tmp\platform.xar to sys:\tomcat\4\webapps (if it already exists make sure to overwrite it).

5. Create a new nps directory under sys:\tomcat\4\webapps.

6. Create a directory called packages under sys:\tomcat\4\webapps\nps (must be all lower case, including packages dir).

7. Extract sys:\tmp\nps.war to sys:\tomcat\4\webapps\nps (the latest version of WinZip, IZArc or other extraction tool will work)

You should see 4 new directories under nps: META-INF, WEB-INF, com and portal.

8. Copy sys:\tmp\PACKAGES\*.* to sys:\tomcat\4\webapps\nps\packages

9. Rename the SYS:\tmp\NPS-APACHE.CONF to nps-Apache.conf if needed (correct case is important) then copy it to sys:\tomcat\4\conf

10. Edit sys:\apache2\conf\httpd.conf and put the following line at the bottom of the file:

Include sys:\tomcat\4\conf\nps-Apache.conf

11. Unzip the SYS:\tmp\IPCONF.ZIP file and copy the files to the following directories:

               sys:\system\ipconf\imanager
                       Pullcfg.ncf
                       Pushcfg.ncf
                       iManagerIPConf.class

              sys:\tomcat\4\webapps\nps\WEB-INF\lib
                       eMFrame.jar
                       nps.jar
                       xp.jar
                       collections.jar
                       nxsl.jar

              sys:\tomcat\4\webapps\nps\WEB-INF\tools\npsdump        (manually create this dir if it does not exist)
                       servlet.jar

12. Start/Restart tomcat and apache on your NW65 server.
        tomcat4            (this will start tomcat)
        tcadmup
        ap2webup        (this will start Apache)
        admsrvup

13. After restarting, open a browser and go to https:// <server_ip#> /nps/servlet/configure and click Start.

14. Accept the certificate.

15. Click Start.

16. Fill in your admin user credentials (i.e. cn=admin,o=mycompany) and the password, and click Next. NOTE: this is LDAP syntax.  Use commas, and no leading dot.

17. Make sure platform.xar is selected, and click Next.  If it does not show up, it may be because the file is in uppercase. Change to lower case, close the browser and go back to Step 11.

18. Accept the license agreement and click Next.

19. Choose Typical and click Next.    (If you want to specify a different PCO object, make sure to use Custom)

20. Review the summary screen and make sure that all information is correct, specifically the location of the PCO object. Click Configure.

21. Restart tomcat and apache again (See Step 12).

22. To access iManager from a browser go to http:// <server_ip#> /nps/iManager.html
