Novell NetWare Network Configuration Guide
for CCC Pathways
Introduction
This document reflects the necessary guidelines for configuring your network to run the
Pathways family of software products using the following supported operating systems:
Server

Novell NetWare 5.x / 6.x
Workstations



Windows Vista
Windows XP Professional
Windows 2000 Professional
This guide assumes that you are installing Pathways for the first time. And while CCC is
aware that there are many possible client/server combinations available when setting up a
network, this document will cover only some of the most common ones. For further
information, you should enlist the services of a qualified consultant or network engineer.
The Pathways family of products that are supported in a network environment include:



CCC Pathways Appraisal Solution
CCC Pathways Estimating Solution
CCC Pathways Independent Appraiser Solution
Warning! Setting up a network requires a complete understanding of
networking theory, as well as a thorough knowledge of all supported operating
systems. We strongly urge you to enlist the services of a qualified vendor or
consultant to install and set up your network.
CCC will answer general questions about running Pathways on a network. If you require
extensive consultation on your network configuration or the various supported operating
systems, you will need to enlist the services of a qualified network technician. CCC is not
responsible for the setup or configuration of your internal network systems.
Refer to the appropriate chapter in this Guide to setup and configure your server and
workstations. This must be completed before installing Pathways.
1
Chapter 1 – Novell NetWare Server Configuration
Overview
Pathways is a client/server-based application in which network clients access a single copy
installed to the network server. Once installed, the server acts as a central repository for all
program and data files, as well as an internal set of file location pointers. Since these pointers
reside on the server, they are the same for every workstation accessing Pathways on the
network. Consequently, the installation of Pathways must be done from one of the
workstations to a commonly mapped network drive on the server.
Important! All subsequent Pathways Program and Data updates must be
performed at the same system from which the original installation was run.
The Novell NetWare 5.x / 6.x server operating systems are very robust and dependable, and
make an excellent choice as a server platform from which to run Pathways. The only
drawback is that the average end user may find it somewhat difficult to manage and
configure. Because of this, CCC strongly recommends enlisting the services of a qualified
consultant or network engineer. With this in mind, the NetWare server portion of this
document will only address the administrative portion of network configuration (e.g.,
creating groups and users, access rights, etc). The client sections however, will include basic
connectivity instructions.
The setup procedures outlined in this guide are provided as an example, and are not meant to
be the only possible method for configuring your network. However, we strongly suggest
that your network configuration conforms to these guidelines in order to ensure the success
of your installation. These instructions assume that your network hardware and software have
been properly set up and are functioning normally.
Configuring the Server
Verify that the server and workstations meet all minimum hardware and software
requirements as published quarterly in the CCC Technical Requirements document. You can
find this document located on the CCC website: http://www.cccis.com/. CCC strongly urges
that the server and workstations meet or exceed our recommended hardware specifications to
ensure the best performance.
Verify that you have enough disk space before you install Pathways. You should have at least
4GB of free disk space on your target drive prior to beginning the installation.
Note Although 4GB is sufficient for the installation and operation of Pathways, CCC
recommends that the target drive be as large as is practical in order to allow plenty of
room for growth.
2
Novell NetWare servers communicate with their clients basically via two protocols:
Internetwork Packet Exchange/ Sequenced Packed Exchange (IPX/SPX) and/or
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). Of those two protocols, by far the
most common choice used in a NetWare environment is the IPX/SPX option. This option is
supported in Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP. Windows Vista only supports
TCP/IP for Novell. With this in mind, this guide is going to assume that IPX/SPX is the
protocol implemented and configured with the default Frame Type of 802.2 for Windows
2000 Professional and Windows XP. Windows Vista is configured using the TCP/IP
protocol. For further assistance with configuring protocols or any other issues with your
NetWare server, you should enlist the services of a qualified consultant or network engineer.
Create Pathways Groups and Users
With each version of Novell NetWare, various administrative utilities have been developed
for the management of users, groups and resources. From old DOS based utilities to the more
modern Java based applications that can even be accessed via the Web. Of these different
utilities, one of the most commonly used for administrative purposes is the NetWare
Administrator. This administrative utility runs from any supported Windows client and can
perform all of the tasks needed to successfully configure your Pathways users and groups, as
well as many other needed tasks. These capabilities as well as compatibility across all
supported versions of NetWare make this utility an ideal option for administration and
therefore will be the only option discussed in this document.
The following instructions are not intended to be the only way possible to configure your
server, but are meant mainly to be a general guide on how Pathways users and groups should
be configured. Furthermore, due to the wide variety of possible configurations in the field,
these instructions are written from the perspective of new server configuration rather than
modifying an existing server setup. For further help in administrating your network, you
should enlist the services of a qualified consultant or network engineer.
Note The CCC approved client software for NetWare must be installed on the
workstation and connectivity established to the server, in order to have the ability to
use the Netware Administrator utility.
To create Pathways Users and Groups, do the following steps:
1
Log into the Netware Client as “admin”.
2
Using a method of your choice, browse to the following path: (Your NetWare server) >
SYS > Public > Win32.
3
Next, double-click the Nwadmin32.exe file. This will bring up the NetWare Administrator
utility window.
3
4
In NetWare Administrator, right-click the root Organization object at the top of the window
and click Create...
5
Click the Organizational Unit object, and then click OK.
4
6
Enter “Pathways Users OU” in the Organizational Unit Name field, and then click Create.
7
From NetWare Administrator, right-click the Pathways Users OU object that you just
created and then select Create…
8
Click Group in the New Object window, and then click OK.
9
Enter “Pathways Security Group” in the group name field, and then click Create.
10 Now, again right-click the Pathways Users OU object and select Create…
11 This time select User in the New Object window, and then click OK.
12 Enter “installer” in both the Login Name and Last Name fields, click the Create Another
User check box, and then click Create. (This account will be used for Pathways
installation, Client Setup and program update purposes.)
13 Next, enter both the Login Name and Last Name for one of the users that will be running
Pathways on the network, and then click Create.
5
14 Repeat step 13 until all Pathways users on the network have been created, and then click
Cancel.
Add Pathways Users to the Pathways Security Group
To add users to the Pathways security group, follow these steps:
1
In NetWare Administrator, right-click the Pathways Security Group, and then click
Details…
2
Click the Members button, and then click the Add button. The Select Object window
appears.
6
3
Select all of the users that will be running Pathways on the network and then click OK.
4
Click OK to close the Pathways Security Group window.
Note Make certain the user “installer” is added to the Pathways Security Group.
Configure users to require a password.
To setup user passwords, as well as any other user properties that you would like to
configure, follow these steps:
Note We recommend having the same login name and password on both the server
and workstation for each user. This eliminates users having to log in separately to
both the server and their own workstation.
1
In NetWare Administrator, right-click one of the users that will be running Pathways on
the network, and then click Details…
7
2
From the right side of the window, click Password Restrictions.
3
Click the Require a Password check box (and any other selections you want to make),
and then click the Change Password button.
4
Enter your password information, and then click OK.
5
Click OK to close the Details window.
6
Repeats steps 1-5 above for each user who will be running Pathways on the network
(including the “installer” account).
8
Create a share point on the server and grant proper access
We suggest you create a directory named “CCCAPPS”. If your server has a separate volume
for applications (e.g., APPS), we suggest you create the directory in that volume. If you only
have one volume, then create the CCCAPPS directory in the SYS: volume. The Pathways
installation program will create a Pathways directory within the CCCAPPS directory. This is
the directory into which Pathways will be installed. To create the CCCAPPS directory and
then grant proper access, follow these simple steps:
1
Using a method of your choice, browse to the volume that Pathways will be installed.
2
Create a directory called “CCCAPPS” on the root of the target volume.
3
From the NetWare Administrator, double-click the target volume in order to expand it.
4
Right-click the CCCAPPS folder, and click Details…
5
From the right side of the window, click the Trustees of this Directory button.
6
Click the Add Trustee button.
7
From the Browse Context pane, double-click the Pathways Users OU object. The
Pathways Users appear in the Available Objects pane.
8
From the Available objects pane, click the Pathways Security Group, and then click OK.
9
From the Access Rights pane, click all the check boxes, and then click OK. This
establishes CCCAPPS as the shared network directory and grants the Pathways Security
Group access.
9
Create a login script for the Pathways Users OU
As stated in the beginning of this chapter, Pathways requires a common mapped drive from
all workstations to the share point on the server. The best way to achieve this is to have your
users run a script at login that automatically maps the drive needed for Pathways.
To create a login script for your Pathways users, follow these steps:
Note If you already have your users running a login script, just adapt the below
instructions to your existing script.
1
From the NetWare Administrator, right-click the Pathways Users OU, and then click
Details…
2
From the right side pane, click the Login Script button.
10
3
4
From the Login Script pane, enter the map command as shown. (Replacing “sys” with
the volume that Pathways will be installed, and “P:” with the drive letter you choose for
Pathways.)
Click OK to close the Pathways Users OU Details window.
11
Backup options
A backup system (such as a removable drive, CD-RW, or a tape drive) is necessary to protect
you from unexpected disasters that lead to loss of data. CCC strongly recommends that you
purchase a large-capacity backup system and implement a consistent backup routine that is
strictly adhered to. Backups should be done as often as is practical. Depending on the need, it
is best to back up the system on a daily or weekly basis. For help with implementing a
backup system, you should enlist the services of a qualified consultant or network engineer.
Note The Backup and Restore utility that is installed along with Pathways, was
primarily designed to ease the move of Pathways from one computer to another in the
event of computer upgrade or replacement. However, this utility can be used as a
limited backup system due to its ability to auto run through Windows Task Scheduler.
Important! Pathways Backup and Restore will only backup the Pathways work
files and configuration files. No program or database files are backed up at all.
In the event of a system failure, Pathways needs to be reinstalled first, and then
the work files and configuration files can be restored.
You are now ready to Proceed to the appropriate Windows Client Configuration chapter of
this guide for instructions on setting up your workstations.
Note Prior to installing a Pathways product onto a network, the network operating
system should be correctly installed and functioning on the server and all
workstations should be able to successfully attach and login to the server. A qualified
computer technician should make any necessary adjustments.
12
Chapter 2 – Windows Vista Client Configuration
Configure the Workstations - Overview
Verify that the server and workstations meet all minimum hardware and software
requirements as published quarterly in the CCC Technical Requirements document. You can
find this document on the CCC website: http://www.cccis.com/. CCC strongly urges that the
server and workstations meet or exceed our recommended hardware specifications to ensure
the best performance.
As stated in the Configuring the server section of this guide, Windows Vista requires the
TCP/IP protocol. IPX/SPX protocol is not supported in Windows Vista. Windows Vista
employs TCP/IP protocol which is installed by default.
When the Novell client software for Windows Vista is installed, the following required
network component are installed.
•
Novell Client for Windows Vista
Important! If you have not already done so, before proceeding install the correct
NetWare client version (as per the CCC Technical Requirements document) on
this workstation. The Novell Client for Vista 1.0 is currently the only Novell
Client for Vista. If you need further assistance with installing the NetWare
Client software, you should enlist the services of a qualified consultant or
network engineer.
Create Pathways users
1
Click the Start button > right-click Computer, and then click Manage. The Computer
Management Console window appears.
2
From the left pane, click the Local Users and Groups component. The User and Groups
folders are displayed.
3
Right-click the Users folder, and then click New User. The New User window appears.
4
Enter the user name and password in the appropriate textboxes.
5
Click the User must change password at next logon selection button. This will clear the
checkmark.
6
Note You may wish to select both the User cannot change password and Password
never expires selection buttons.
7
Click Create.
8
Repeat steps 3 through 6 until all users who will be using Pathways have been added.
Add the Installer account to the Administrators group.
1
From the Computer Management window, click the Users folder in the left pane. The list
of Users are displayed in the right pane.
13
2
Right-click the “installer” account, and then click Properties. The Properties window
appears.
3
Click the Member Of tab, and then click Add.
4
From the Select Groups window, click the Advanced button, and then click the Find Now
button. Users are displayed in the Advanced window.
5
From the Advanced window, click the Administrators group, and then click OK.
6
Click OK on the Select Users window, and then click OK in the “installer” Properties
window to close it.
Switch User
CCC does not support Pathways running on Windows Vista when Switch User has been
enabled. The Switch User feature of Windows Vista allows multiple users to log into the
same computer without requiring the current user to close their programs. If Pathways were
to run simultaneously in two or more sessions on the same system, file corruption could
occur. In addition, when you consider the possibility of many logon sessions running
simultaneously, each with various applications still open, the effect on performance alone
could be quite dramatic. Due to these reasons, Pathways will not be supported to work with
the Switch User feature.
14
Authenticate on the NetWare server
1
From the Windows start up screen, click the Novell Login icon.
2
Enter the Username and Password of the user who will be running Pathways on this
workstation.
Note If the server was configured exactly as described in the Create Pathways
Groups and Users section of chapter 1, then the Context must be set to the Pathways
Users OU.
3
Click Show Advanced Options.
4
Click the eDirectory tab and verify that the correct Tree, Context and Server information
is entered in their respective field textboxes.
5
From the Script tab, verify that the Run Scripts check box is populated, and then click
OK.
Important! You must be logged into the NetWare server and the local
workstation as “installer” in order to perform Pathways installation, Client
Setup, or program updates.
Access Rights
One of the features of Windows Vista Business is increased security. System administrators
have much greater control over user access to network resources as well as control over user
rights and access to the local system. Pathways requires that users have Full Control of both
the installation files that reside on the server as well as the Pathways directory that resides
locally on each workstation. In order to install, or update the Pathways program, the user
must have Administrator level access. This is due to the fact that during the installation or
update, program components are being installed and entries are made to the Windows
Registry.
Note Administrator level access is only needed during Pathways installation, Client
Setup and program updates. The monthly Data and Graphics CD’s can be run by any
regular Pathways user.
Important! Once Pathways is installed and Client Setup has been run, proper
access rights need to be applied to the local Pathways folder created during the
Client Setup process. This includes the server if planning to run Pathways from
that station as well. Refer to the Network Installation & Update Guide for
Pathways for details.
You are now ready to proceed with the installation of your Pathways product. Refer
to the Network Installation & Update Guide for Pathways for more information.
Note Prior to installing a Pathways product on a network, the network operating
system should be correctly installed and functioning on the server, and all
15
workstations should be able to successfully attach and login to the server. A qualified
computer technician should make any necessary adjustments.
16
Chapter 3 – Windows XP Professional Client
Configuration
Configure the Workstations - Overview
Verify that the server and workstations meet all minimum hardware and software
requirements as published quarterly in the CCC Technical Requirements document. You can
find this document on the CCC website: http://www.cccis.com/. CCC strongly urges that the
server and workstations meet or exceed our recommended hardware specifications to ensure
the best performance.
As stated in the Configuring the server section of this guide, the most common protocol used
in a NetWare environment is the IPX/SPX protocol. The Microsoft implementation of the
IPX/SPX protocol for Windows XP Professional is called the “NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS
Compatible Transport Protocol”.
When the Novell client software is installed, the following required network components will
automatically be installed.



Novell Client for Windows
NWLink NetBIOS
NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS Compatible Transport Protocol
These are the only components necessary to get the network up and running. And for the
most part, all of the default settings for these components will work just fine.
Note If your network is already set up and running correctly, and is configured to use
the IPS/SPX protocol, then you may skip to the Create Pathways users section, later
in this chapter.
Important! If you haven’t already done so, before proceeding install the correct
NetWare client version (as per the CCC Technical Requirements document) on
this workstation. If you need further assistance with installing the NetWare
Client software, you should enlist the services of a qualified consultant or
network engineer.

Fast User Switching
CCC does not support Pathways running on Windows XP when Fast User Switching has
been enabled. The Fast User Switching feature of Windows XP allows multiple users to log
into the same computer without requiring the current user to close their programs. If
Pathways were to run simultaneously in two or more sessions on the same system, file
corruption could occur. In addition, when you consider the possibility of many logon
sessions running simultaneously, each with various applications still open, the effect on
performance alone could be quite dramatic. Due to these reasons, Pathways will not be
supported to work with Fast User Switching.
Authenticate on the NetWare server
1
From the Windows start up screen, simultaneously depress the CTRL-ALT-DEL keys.
2

Groups and Users section of chapter 1, then the Context must be set to the Pathways
Users OU.
4
From the Script tab, verify that the Run Scripts check box is populated, and then click
OK.
Important! You must be logged into the NetWare server and the local
workstation as “installer” in order to perform Pathways installation, Client
Setup, or program updates.
Access Rights
One of the features of Windows XP Professional is increased security. System administrators
have much greater control over user access to network resources as well as control over user
rights and access to the local system. Pathways requires that users have Full Control of both
the installation files that reside on the server as well as the Pathways directory that resides
locally on each workstation. In order to install, or update the Pathways program, the user
must have Administrator level access. This is due to the fact that during the installation or
update, program components are being installed and entries are made to the Windows
Registry.
Note Administrator level access is only needed during Pathways installation, Client
Setup and program updates. The monthly Data and Graphics CD’s can be run by any
regular Pathways user.
21
Important! Once Pathways is installed and Client Setup has been run, proper
access rights need to be applied to the local Pathways folder created during the
Client Setup process. This includes the server if planning to run Pathways from
that station as well. Refer to the Network Installation & Update Guide for
Pathways for details.
You are now ready to proceed with the installation of your Pathways product. Refer
to the Network Installation & Update Guide for Pathways for more information.
Note Prior to installing a Pathways product on a network, the network operating
system should be correctly installed and functioning on the server, and all
workstations should be able to successfully attach and login to the server. A qualified
computer technician should make any necessary adjustments.

On the NDS tab (Novell Client 4.83 SP3), or the eDirectory tab (Novell Client 4.91 SP3),
verify that the correct Tree, Context, and Server information is entered in their respective
fields.
Note If the server was configured exactly as described in the Create Pathways
Groups and Users section of chapter 1, then the Context must be set to the Pathways
Users OU.

Important! You must be logged into the NetWare server and the local
workstation as “installer” in order to perform Pathways installation, Client

Access Rights
One of the features of Windows 2000 Professional is increased security. System
administrators have much greater control over user access to network resources as well as
control over user rights and access to the local system. Pathways requires that users have Full
Control of both the installation files that reside on the server as well as the Pathways
directory that resides locally on each workstation. In order to install, or update the Pathways
program, the user must have Administrator level access. This is due to the fact that during the
installation or update, program components are being installed and entries are made to the
Windows Registry.
Note Administrator level access is only needed during Pathways installation, Client
Setup and program updates. The monthly Data and Graphics CD’s can be run by any
regular Pathways user.
Important! Once Pathways is installed and Client Setup has been run, proper
access rights will need to be applied to the local Pathways folder created during
the Client Setup process. This includes the server if you are planning to run
Pathways from that station as well. Refer to the Network Installation & Update
Guide for Pathways for details.

You are now ready to proceed with the installation of your Pathways product. Refer
to the Network Installation & Update Guide for Pathways for more information.
Note Prior to installing a Pathways product onto a network, the network operating
system should be correctly installed and functioning on the server, and all
workstations should be able to successfully attach and login to the server. A qualified
computer technician should make any necessary adjustments.
