Chapter 15. Configuring Enhanced Integration for NetWare Skip this chapter if you are not using Enhanced Integration for NetWare.
Configuration Overview To configure Enhanced Integration for NetWare you need to do several things. This topic lists what you must do, then explains how to accomplish each task. Once you complete the following configuration tasks, you are ready to manage your network.
AS/400 uses the IPX protocol to communicate with the NetWare servers on your network. Therefore, you need to activate this protocol on AS/400.
You need to install the latest Novell NetWare patches before you install the Enhanced Integration for NetWare NLM.
These NLMs allow your NetWare servers to communicate with the Enhanced Integration for NetWare support on AS/400.
Enhanced Integration for NetWare provides the support to enroll AS/400 users on the NetWare network. To use this function, you must create a QNETWARE user object with ADMIN authority in each NDS tree and SUPERVISOR authority on each NetWare 3.12 server on which you want to enroll users. See "QNETWARE User Profile" for more information about the QNETWARE user objects. See also 6.
This allows you to automate many of the administration tasks, by allowing AS/400 to store passwords. See "Step 5--Change the QRETSVRSEC System Value (Optional)" for details about QRETSVRSEC.
You can create authentication entries for each user so that the Enhanced Integration for NetWare support automatically starts authenticated connections as needed to the appropriate server in the network. If you do not create an authentication entry, you must manually start the connection before using the most of the administration and file system functions. For details about authentication entries, see Chapter 16. "NetWare Authentication Entries and Connections".
This IPL can be done at any time that is convenient for you after you install the Enhanced Integration for NetWare product. The IPL mounts the QNetWare file system in the AS/400 integrated file system.
By verifying that the QNetWare file system is mounted, you ensure that you have access to the file system and that AS/400 can connect to the NetWare servers. Use DSPMSG QSYSOPR after the IPL and look for the message CPCA08C that says /QNetWare file system mounted.Once the QNetWare file system is mounted and IPX is active, the Enhanced Integration for NetWare support is available.
Network server attributes allow you to set AS/400 system defaults for commands to simplify administration tasks.
If you plan to have manage NetWare users and their passwords from AS/400, you need to enroll the AS/400 user profiles. Refer to Chapter 21. "Managing User Enrollment" for more information. Step 1--Activate IPX for Enhanced Integration for NetWare You need to configure IPX when you run Enhanced Integration for NetWare. This topic explains how to set up IPX. This topic explains how to configure AS/400 business computing systems for IPX support. If you are unfamiliar with OS/400 IPX support, consider getting theInternetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) Support book for reference. That book contains more detailed information about configuring and managing IPX connections. If your adapter is an Integrated PC Server, you run IPX over token ring or Ethernet LANs. If your adapter is not an Integrated PC Server, you can run IPX over X.25 or frame relay, in addition to the token ring or Ethernet. IPX support requires an IPX description and an IPX circuit. Once these are configured, you can start IPX (STRIPX). You need an IPX description for the system to start IPX. IBM supplies two descriptions, QDCIPX1 and QDCIPX2. You can use one of these to start IPX (using the STRIPX command) or create your own IPX description.
![]() IPX CircuitYou need at least one IPX circuit to communicate on the network. An IPX circuit is a logical representation of a path for IPX communication. Circuits are not physical objects. Each circuit is associated with a line description. The line description describes the physical connection from the AS/400 to the network. The circuit defines the logical path from the internal IPX layer to the line. You can configure up to 255 circuits on one system. For a LAN, the circuit defines the path or point of attachment from the IPX protocol layer to the IPX network. For a WAN, it defines the path from the IPX protocol layer to a remote IPX node or system. To use AS/400 as an IPX router, see the Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) Support book. Several possibilities exist.
Figure 15-1 shows an AS/400 system with an Integrated PC Server ((1)). You do not need to configure IPX to the LAN ((2)) because AS/400 did that for you when you completed "Step 3--Run the Install NetWare Server (INSNTWSVR) Command". Figure 15-1. IPX and OS/400 Integration for
Novell NetWare

Figure 15-2 shows IPX ((2)) running over the Integrated PC Server ((1)).. You must enable IPX for Enhanced Integration for NetWare.

In the case shown in Figure 15-3, where the adapter ((1)) is not an Integrated PC Server, you must either use a supplied IPX description or create one. You must also add an IPX circuit (ADDIPXCCT) to direct your IPX traffic over the adapter ((2)). You can use token ring, Ethernet, X.25, or frame relay adapters. Figure 15-3.

Create your own IPX description to control the IPX internal network number and other IPX values. To create an IPX description, see "Step 1a--Create an IPX Description". To use one of the IBM-supplied IPX descriptions, choose either QDCIPX1 or QDCIPX2.
See "Step 1b--Configure a Line Description".
Configuring AS/400 for IPX over Ethernet The following example shows you how to configure a AS/400 system to run the IPX protocol over an Ethernet line. To run IPX over a token ring line, simply create or use a token ring line instead of an Ethernet one. For more information and more examples, see theInternetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) Support book.

Step
1a--Create an IPX Description
Each AS/400 must have its own IPX description that defines global system default values for IPX. One IPX description is defined for the OS/400 IPX support on each AS/400.

The internal network number is a hexadecimal number, ranging from 00000001 through FFFFFFFE. Choose a number, or specify *RANDOM, and AS/400 will generate a number for itself. The internal network number must be a unique number on the network. Therefore, if you use *RANDOM, there is a small chance to generate a duplicate number. There is no default. For the IPX internal network number in this example, 00000001 is used. ![]()
If you have routers, read on. To be very safe, you can choose the lower value, 576. All routers support at least this maximum datagram size. This value is important because there is no end-to-end negotiation of maximum datagram size, and there may be intermediate hops in a route to the destination system that have a smaller maximum datagram size than the directly attached links to the AS/400 system. You must determine the maximum packet size that is allowed between the AS/400 system and the destination system and set this value in the IPX description accordingly. Make this value as large as possible for performance reasons. If an IPX router between the AS/400 system and the destination system cannot support receiving packets that are the maximum datagram size, it discards the packet. All routers must support 576 byte datagrams. ![]()
The Add IPX Circuit (ADDIPXCCT) command has a default maximum datagram parameter that you must consider when setting the IPX maximum datagram parameter for an IPX description. If the IPX maximum datagram value of the IPX description is larger than the default maximum datagram value of the IPX circuit on a circuit chosen for the IPX connection, then sending the packet over this circuit may fail. Also, the IPX maximum datagram size of the IPX description is used with the maximum datagram size parameter in the SSAP definition of the line description associated with the circuit to determine the actual maximum IPX packet size that is sent on a physical line. ![]() For the network example, AS/400 has one Ethernet line description. You can use a line description that is already configured if the line meets the requirements for your network. If your network uses token ring, you must use CRTLINTRN instead of CRTLINETH.
![]()
If you do not know the name, type WRKHDWRSC *CMNThe resource name consists of the IOA resource name and the port number on the IOA. Figure 15-14 shows the IOAs that could be available for IPX support on AS/400. See Table 15-1 for the IOAs that IPX supports. Figure 15-14.

There is no need to explicitly define SSAPs in the line description unless the line description is to be shared with other protocols. If the line description is to be shared with other protocols, define the SSAPs required by the other protocols. ![]()
The X'AA' SSAP is unique because it can be shared by multiple communications protocols at the same time; therefore the X'AA' SSAP value can be explicitly defined on the line description without causing a conflict (for example, TCP/IP uses the X'AA' SSAP value).

However, you can define up to 4 circuits if your LAN uses multiple frame types for IPX packets. The line type determines the number of SSAPs that can be used for IPX packets. Since you can define one circuit for each SSAP, this also determines the number of circuits that can be defined for a particular line description. Only 2 circuits can be defined for token-ring and Ethernet Version 2 (ETHV2) type line descriptions. For more information about circuits, see theInternetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) Support book.

The line description name in the sample network is AETHLINE. To find the names of the currently defined line descriptions, use the Work with Line Descriptions (WRKLIND) command. ![]()
To find that number, look at the circuit descriptions on other AS/400 systems in the network, or look on your Novell NetWare server. The number should be the same on all systems in the network. For the sample network, the Ethernet portion of the network has an external IPX network number of 2FFFFFFF. This value must match for all IPX nodes in an IPX network. Only circuits within a local area network (LAN) need an external network number.

The Work with IPX Circuits display is shown in Figure 15-18. Step 2--Install the Novell NetWare Patches on the Servers The latest Novell NetWare patches must be installed on each server in the NDS tree and on each NetWare 3.12 server that you will manage from AS/400. NetWare Patches Novell makes these patches available on its home page on the world wide web. At the time this book was published, you could use the following procedure to get Novell NetWare patches from the web:
A page with lists of Novell patches should appear.
IBM provides these patches on the world wide web. At the time this book was published, you could use the following procedure to get Novell NetWare patches from the web:
A page with lists of Novell patches should appear. Step 3--Install the Enhanced Integration for NetWare NLM on the Servers The Enhanced Integration for NetWare NLM must be installed on each server in the NDS tree and on each NetWare 3.12 server that you will manage from AS/400. There is a different Enhanced Integration for NetWare NLM for NetWare 3.12 and 4.1. You can download these NLMs from our Internet Web site (http://www.as400.ibm.com/products/software/netware/as4nwdl.htm).

The AS4NW.NLM installation NLM prompts for the desired language. This is the only language file installed with the Enhanced Integration for NetWare 3.12 NLM. IBM provides these NLMs to ensure that you have a complete set. You can also obtain the current versions of most of these NLMs from Novell. The exceptions are AS4NW410.NLM, AS4NW312.NLM, and AS4NW.NLM, which are part of Enhanced Integration for NetWare. If you do not have the diskette, you can create diskettes from the files in the QDLS folder (QFPNTWE) on AS/400 using Client Access. For instructions, see "Creating Installation Diskettes". LOAD Command for the Enhanced Integration for NetWare NLM The LOAD command provides options that allow you to tailor your environment. LOAD AS4NW410 and LOAD AS4NW312 Command The LOAD AS4NW410 and LOAD AS4NW312 console commands load the NetWare 4.1 and NetWare 3.12 versions, respectively, of the Enhanced Integration for NetWare NetWare Loadable Module (NLM). This NLM is required in order to use Enhanced Integration for NetWare functions on a NetWare server.

If this parameter is not specified, only connections that have no open files associated with them will be closed when the specified CNNIDLTIME value has passed. Loading the NLM on a NetWare 3.12 server: LOAD SYS:/AS4NW/AS4NW312 /MAXCNN=10This command loads the NetWare 3.12 version of the Enhanced Integration for NetWare NLM. The full path to the NLM is specified. The maximum number of connections allowed is 10. Since CLSALLIDL is not specified, only connections with no open files will be closed by idle connection processing. Loading the NLM on a NetWare 4.1 server: LOAD AS4NW410 /CLSALLIDLThis command loads the NetWare 4.1 version of the Enhanced Integration for NetWare NLM. The server path environment variable was changed to include the directory SYS:/AS4NW using a search add statement in AUTOEXEC.NCF; use the Install utility to edit AUTOEXEC.NCF. The maximum number of connections allowed is the default value of 50. All idle connections, regardless of whether or not there are open files associated with them, will be closed by idle connection processing. Loading the Enhanced Integration for NetWare NLM

See Table D-1 for a list of languages that have message libraries. LOAD SYS:AS4NW\AS4NW312
![]() LOAD INSTALL >A:\If you are installing on NetWareJ 4.10 servers the path is A:\NLS\9, not just A:\.
A menu appears that indicates which file groups to install.
Return to the RCONSOLE display (press ESC or Alt-F3) and load the NLM. LOAD SYS:AS4NW\AS4NW410
![]()
For example, if you use AUTOSTR.NCF as your own customized batch file for starting your NetWare servers: load sys:as4nw\as4nwnnn (nnn = 410 or 312) The NLM is loaded after you DOWN and restart the server. If the server is on an Integrated PC Server, use the VRYCFG command to down the server. To load the NLM immediately, enter the following at the server command prompt: load sys:as4nw\as4nwnnn
Step 4--Create a QNETWARE User on NetWare Servers (Optional) To enroll AS/400 users on NetWare, you need a QNETWARE user on AS/400
and on all NDS trees and NetWare 3.12 servers that are to be managed from
AS/400. A QNETWARE user is created on AS/400 when Enhanced Integration
for NetWare is installed on your system. If you do not want to enroll AS/400
users, skip this step. If you do want to enroll AS/400 users, see Chapter
21. "Managing User Enrollment" for more information.
Step 5--Change the QRETSVRSEC System Value (Optional) Changing the QRETSVRSEC from its default of 0 to the value 1 can make
system management more efficient. There are security implications, however.
See "Step 1--Set Up Your NetWare Servers
for User Enrollment" for detailed information.
Step 6--Set Up Authentication Entries (Optional) To automate connections to the appropriate servers in your network, you need authentication entries for each AS/400 user that will be using the Enhanced Integration for NetWare support.
Step 7--IPL AS/400 Power down AS/400, then re-IPL. Use the PWRDWNSYS command and specify *YES for the RESTART parameter. This activates the QNetWare file system that is used by Enhanced Integration for NetWare. To verify that the QNetWare file system is mounted, wait until the IPL completes. Then enter: DSPMSG QSYSOPRLook for the message CPCA08C that says: /QNetWare file system mounted

Figure 15-20 shows active servers on two different networks. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Display IPX Service Information | | System: SYSTEMA | | Type options, press Enter. | | 5=Display details | | | | Service Service Remote Hops to Service | | Opt name Type Network Service Source | | SERVERA *NTWENHINTG 480B0001 1 *SAP | | SERVERB *NTWENHINTG D4800051 2 *SAP | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Step 9--Define Network Server Attributes (Optional) The Change Network Server Attributes (CHGNWSA) command changes AS/400 attributes that allow you to change certain defaults on a system-wide basis. The attributes are originally set for users of the IBM LAN Server for OS/400 product. If you are running only NetWare servers, you may want to change the settings as shown in Figure 15-21. You can set many of these attributes on an individual user profile basis using the CHGNWSUSRA command. Many network server commands such as DSPNWSUSR and WRKNWSSTS can specify that information from the network server attributes should be used by specifying *NWSA for a given parameter. Network server attributes are saved by the Save System (SAVSYS) command. Network server attributes are restored to the system when the operating system is installed. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Change NWS Attributes (CHGNWSA) | | | | Type choices, press Enter. | | | | Prompt control . . . . . . . . .

Step 10--Enroll Users (Optional) You can simplify network user management tasks with user profile propagation,
allow AS/400 users to access NetWare file systems, and send printing to
NetWare-managed printers. If you want to do this, go to Chapter
21. "Managing User Enrollment".
