To create an administrative account on a Novell Directory Services (NDS) server, first create a user on the NDS directory that you want to manage, then add the user as a trustee for the directory:

  1. Open Netware Administrator at <volume name>\sys\public\win32\nwadmin.exe.

  2. Expand the tree list to see the directory-level object you want the user to manage.

    For example, select Root if you want the user to manage the entire directory.

  3. Right-click on the object name and select Add Trustee.

    Netware Administrator displays the Select Object dialog box.

  4. Select the user you want to add as a trustee and click OK to close the Select Object dialog box.

  5. Click the appropriate checkboxes in the Object Rights section of the Add Trustee dialog box. These rights define the user's access permissions at the selected directory level.

  6. Click the appropriate checkboxes in the Property Rights section. These rights define the user's actions at the selected directory level.

  7. Click OK.

Ensure that you set and note the account’s password. You will be required to enter the account’s login ID and password when you add the GroupWise target system to Bravura Security Fabric .

A share is established to access information required to perform the supported operations. If Groupwise is installed on a Novell NDS system, a system account is not required; GroupWise and NDS use the same Admin ID.
