TUT251 - Implementing Multiple Instances of Novell eDirectory Server on a Single Host
Novell eDirectory was originally designed to support one directory instance per host. Today it is possible to leverage high-end hardware and run multiple instances of eDirectory on the same host. The functionality of eDirectory has been extended to enable running and administering multiple instances of servers on the same host as a user with or without administrative privileges on the host. Each instance can be configured to listen on different port numbers on either interface. Since each instance of the server is independent of the other, multiple instances of eDirectory can serve as a backup in case a server goes down. This session will discuss the benefits of running multiple instances of eDirectory on the same host, and describe how to manage directory attributes in this setting. Attendees will learn about tools that will help with this process.

DHO201 - Developing ASP .NET on Linux with Mono
If your organization uses applications that run with ASP .NET and now needs the same applications to run on Linux, Mono may be the answer. Mono is a community initiative to develop an open source version of the Microsoft .NET development platform to enable Linux and UNIX developers to build and deploy cross-platform .NET applications. The Mono project has seen more than two years of engineering and testing, and makes it far easier to build and deploy applications on Linux and UNIX. The project continues advancing to accommodate the evolution of Microsoft .NET, Linux and GNOME desktop technologies. This hands-on tutorial will help attendees learn how to run ASP .NET Web services and WebForm applications on Linux with Mono.
