How do I add CachedAttrsOnExtRefs attribute on Ncp server object?

Issue:
CachedAttrsOnExtRefs (CAER) is not present on NCP Server object

What changed:
eDirectory was removed from the server and added back via nwconfig.

The CAER attribute gets added during the configuration/installation of NMAS during the eDirectory 88.x install.  ndsconfig does not create this attribute.

There are a couple of ways to add this attribute.

First option is by using the nmasinst utility.

nmasinst -i <admin.context> <treename>

Note: There has been a bug recently entered on Netware where using nmasinst does not add the CAER attribute on the server you are running nmasinst on, but instead updates the server who holds the master replica of the servers ncp server object.  This has been reported to engineering and a engineering build of nmasinst.nlm is available from NTS if needed.

Second option:
This attribute is just a list of attributes (string syntax) so an ldif can be used to add this to the ncp server object. See below for an example ldif file and ice example to add CAER attribute.

Example ldif file to import the cachedattrsonextrefs attribute on a defined ncp server object.  Just copy and save to a file, such as caer.ldif

ice can then be used to import:

ice -lsys:\caer.log -SLDIF -f sys:\caer.ldif  -DLDAP -s 192.168.0.110 -d cn=admin,o=contex -w password

NOTE: The CAER attribute is not what is actually read when a client logs in, this is just a list that the backlinker uses to know which attributes are allowed on an external reference.  If an attribute is not present in this list and is not otherwised defined in code to be allowed on an external reference, it will not be present on an external reference'd object.
