Installing Account Management on Linux
You can use the nds-install utility to install Account Management on Linux systems. This
utility is located in the Setup directory on the CD for the Linux platform. The utility adds the
required packages based on what components you choose to install. After adding the
required packages, the installed Account Management will be configured based on inputs
provided in the ndscfg.inp file.
IMPORTANT: The Account Management configuration input file (ndscfg.inp) opens in the
default editor vi, unless a different value is specified for the editor environment variable. If
you do not want to use vi to edit the configuration input file, you can specify the name of
the preferred editor as the value for the editor environment variable.
