Performing discovery on Novell file systems
This section describes the steps required for Websense Data Security to be able to scan files and folders on Novell file servers.
The following definitions are used in this section:
*
NDS - Novell Directory Services - Using NDS, a network administrator can set up and control a database of users and manage them using a directory with an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI). Users at remote locations can be added, updated, and managed centrally. Applications can be distributed electronically and maintained centrally. The concept is similar to Microsoft's Active Directory.
*
Novell Client for Windows - a client software used so that Windows machines can authenticate through NDS and access shared resources on Novell servers.
Preparing the Novell server
1.
Create a user account in Novell eDirectory (NDS). This user will be used by the Websense Data Security crawler agent to authenticate with Novell eDirectory and access files and folders.
The user account must have the same logon name and password as the Websense Data Security service account.
2.
Make sure the newly created user has at least "Read" permissions on all files and folders that you wish to run discovery on.
Preparing the Data Security server
1.
Download the latest Novell Client for Windows from the Novell Web site:
http://www.novell.com/products/clients/
2.
Run setupnw.exe and select Custom Installation.
3.
Make sure Novell Distributed Print Services is not checked and click Next.
4.
Make sure NetIdentity Agent and NMAS are checked and click Next.
5.
Select IP and IPX protocols and click Next.
6.
Select eDirectory and click Next.
7.
Wait for the installation to complete, then reboot the server.
8.
After the reboot, the Novell logon window should appear instead of the regular Windows logon.
9.
Log on to Windows and Novell using the Data Security service account (it should be the same user for both platforms as stated above).
Under the eDirectory tab, you must select the tree and its relevant context for the folders you are about to run discovery on.
10.
Right-click the Novell icon in the task bar and select Properties.
11.
Click Cancel.
12.
Ensure the files you are about to run discovery on are accessible from Windows by UNC (for example, \\NovelFileSrv\vol1\Data).
13.
Right-click the Novell icon in the task bar and select Novell Connections.
14.
On all connections, click Detach until no connections remain.
15.
Open TRITON - Data Security, and create a new data discovery task as follows:
a.
Select Main > Policy Management > Discovery Policies.
b.
Select Add Network Task > File System Task.
c.
On the Networks page, click Edit to select the Novell server's IP address.
d.
Click Advanced, and add the Novell access port number 524.
e.
On the Scanned Folders page, use the Data Security service account for authentication.
f.
Set up all other options as you require.
