Situation
Does Novell Audit support multiple instances of eDirectory 8.8?
Resolution
Novell Audit 2.0.1 fully supports multiple instances of
eDirectory on Linux and Solaris. Please note that in order
for event signing and chaining, otherwise known as non-repudiation
of data, to work properly, you will need to have each eDirectory
instance be bound to its own IP address. If you are not using
the event signing and non-repudiation feature, then you can have
multiple instances of eDirectory on a single IP
address.
Novell Audit 1.0.3P3 or greater and Novell Audit 2.0 will
support a single instance of eDirectory 8.8. If you need
support for multiple eDirectory instances, please download and
install Novell Audit 2.0.1.
When you install Novell Audit 2.0.1, it will detect if
eDirectory 8.8 is installed. If it detects that eDirectory
8.8 is installed and there are multiple instances of eDirectory
running, it will install the platform agent onto all instances of
eDirectory. You will need to go into each instance of
eDirectory and configure the events you want audited.
As far as the Secure Logging Server (SLS) is concerned, you
can only have one SLS on the server. You will need to use an
mdb.conf file to configure which tree will host the SLS. For
an example of what an mdb.conf file should contain, please go to
https://www.novell.com/documentation/nnls/index.html?page=/documentation/nnls/implgde/data/bopvn9d.html .
The logevent.conf file will be used by all platform agent instances
and will send all of their data/events to the SLS specified
therein.
