Additional Information
Note:
If you fail on step 5 to see the nfap attributes, the schema may not be extended for cifs. To extend the schema, simply perform:
ndssch <adminuser.container> /opt/novell/cifs/schema/nfap.sch
If /opt/novell/cifs/schema/nfap.sch does not exist, there is a good chance that cifs is not installed on this server. Install cifs and try again.
