I am attempting to run

ndsconfig new def -s ServerName -t mytree -n o=org -a "admin.pipsc"

and I get the above error

ERROR -1497 DDSInit failed.

eDirectory 8.8 on a suse 10 Enterprise server

I have gone through the prerequisistes and I think I have everything.

I'm not using SLP so I created a hosts.nds
I didn't install nici, I don't currently use it on any of our NetWare
servers.

Thanks for the insight

Wild guess.... try running the set_server_mode and primenici scripts in
/var/opt/novell/nici to see if that helps. An authentication failure
during the creation of a new tree doesn't make much sense. Also maybe try
ndsmanage instaed of ndsconfig. Be sure this is eDirectory 8.8.5 and a
semi-current version of SLES 10.

Good luck.

You *do* use NICI, on every server in the tree. You can't install without
it.
