NETWORKING ENVIRONMENTS

Novell NetWare Server Support/Requirements

Each NetstorNW client must have a Novell Netware liscence. If the user already has a Novell Netware liscence within your environment, they may use the NetstorNW without purchasing additional liscenses.

Novell Netware Server Support/Requirements

  • Servers: One NetWare 5.1 SP5 or later, or 6.0 SP2 or later server required for user authentication with existing tree via secure LDAP. This NetWare server will be designated the “Corporate Office” server.

  • Protocols: NCP over IP
  • Security: Authentication from NetStorNW to your existing tree occurs via the secure LDAP protocol. Security can be managed via the administration web GUI, or via traditional tools like ConsoleOne. Granular File-level / User-level / Share-level.
Novell NetWare Corporate Office Server Details
  • Included with NetStorNW NAS are updated software packages from Novell to be installed on an existing NetWare server. These updates are provided by Novell and are fully supported software components that will not affect normal server duties.
  • The NetWare server will then be identified as the “Corporate Office” server to the NetStorNW NAS servers in your environment.
