iPlanet Web Server, FastTrack Edition Installation Guide • June 2000

Accessing iPlanet Web Server from the Netscape
Console

If you want to be able to access the iPlanet Web Server from the Netscape Console,
run the

installMCC

script after you install iPlanet Web Server and the Netscape

Console.

installMCC

is a perl script found in server_root

/bin/https/bin

.

To run the script, follow these steps:

1.

Copy

installMCC

from the server_root

/bin/https/bin

directory to your

Directory Server machine at Directory_Server_Root

/shared/bin.

2.

At the command prompt, run the

installMCC

script using the following

syntax:

perl installMCC -root

server_root

-host

hostname

-port

web_admin_port

-ldaphost

hostname

-ldapport

ldap_port

-basedn

basedn

-binddn

binddn

-bindpwd

bind_password

For example:

perl installMCC -root /usr/netscape/server4 -host

austen.red.iplanet.com -port 8888 -ldaphost

siroe.red.iplanet.com -ldapport 389 -basedn siroe.com -binddn

“cn=Directory Manager” -bindpwd

password

3.

Copy the files

entserve41.jar

and

entserv41_en.jar

from

server_root

/bin/https/jar

to server_root

/java/jars

.

4.

If you are using Unix or Linux, go to the server root and run
./

startconsole

. If you are using Windows NT, start the Netscape Console

from the Start menu.

Once you have run this script, your iPlanet Web Server appears in the Netscape
Console window. When you double-click on the icon in the Netscape Console, the
Console launches a web browser window and displays the iPlanet Web Server
Administration Server page.

NOTE

Though you can use the JRE with servlets on Solaris, using the JDK
instead improves performance.
