details
Overview:
Updates to the Legacy CLIB libraries to fix a couple problems found after NetWare 6.5 SP7. The DSAPI libraries are the same ones found in NetWare 6.5 SP7 patch release.
System Requirements:
This may only be applied to servers with minimum support packs. NW51SP8.EXE, NW60SP5.EXE, and NW65SP6.EXE. However, NOTE: the EOL (End of Life) has been reached for NetWare 5.1 and NetWare 6.0, therefore not much testing is being done by Novell for these products.
Installation:
A backup of your existing CLIB and DSAPI library files will be saved to the SYS:SYSTEM\!BACKUP.LIB directory and C:\NWSERVER\!BACKUP.LIB.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS NWCONFIG
1. Unzip NWLIB6L.ZIP, unzipping files into their appropriate subdirectories.
2. Copy unzipped file structure to server volume.
3. Load NWCONFIG | Product Options | Install a product no listed | Esq
4. Choose F3 to specify a different path and point path to the INTSTALL.IPS file in the patch root directory.
3. Select F10 to accept NetWare CLIB / DSAPI Update..
4. When patch is complete, you will need to down and restart your server for changes to take effect.
Uninstalling:
To go back to the previous version of the CLIB and DSAPI libraries, simply copy the files from the !BACKUP.LIB directories to the appropriate parent directories.
Known Problems and Limitations:
none
Technical Support Information:
*Note* - The DSAPI libraries are different for each OS because of the updated changes made to natively support UTF-8 in NetWare 6.5 SP2. These fixes were not ported back to NetWare 5.1 or 6.0. The latest DSAPI libraries can be found in the \DSAPI directory and will automatically be installed on NetWare 6.5 servers but have not been tested on older platforms. Therefore, the install script will place the proper DSAPI libraries (tested) depending upon which OS this patch is installed on.
