1.3.4 Supported Web Browsers and Configuration
The toptools console is accessed using a web browser. Access configuration on the toptools server is done
automatically by the Installation wizard. A web browser must be installed on each NNM console on which you
intend to install the bridge. Microsoft Internet Explorer v.5.0 is included on the HP Toptools 5.6 CD. To access the
toptools server you must:
• Use a supported web browser application and version.
• Be authenticated with HP Toptools (the web server application).
Make sure that the platform user is a member of the toptools admin group on the toptools server. Use the NT User
Manager on the toptools server to add authorized users to the admin group on the toptools server. Only members of
this group or administrators of the toptools server can access toptools. You can then access toptools from any
system using the browser versions in the table below:
Platform System Browsers
Windows 2000, NT, or XP IE 4.01 SP2 (JVM 2436)
IE 5.0 (JVM 3167)
IE 5.5
IE 6.0
Netscape 4.61
Netscape 4.72
HP-UX 10.20 Netscape 4.51 (use the Sun fonts)
Netscape 4.61 (use the Sun fonts)
HP-UX 11.0 Netscape 4.73 (use the Sun fonts)
Netscape 4.75 (use the Sun fonts)
Sun Solaris 2.6 Netscape 4.51, IE 5.0
During installation the Directory Security for the web server (IIS or PWS) on the following virtual directories will
be set to Basic Authentication on the toptools server:
Installed Components Virtual Directories to set “Basic Authentication”
Device Manager Hptt, Viewer
Device Manger + Desktops or Netservers or Windows
Based Terminals Hptt, Viewer
Hubs & Switches HpttTopology, Scripts
If you set up NTFS on the toptools server and set your IIS to BASIC security, you will be challenged for your
username and password (domain\username for Netscape).
On NNM-UX systems, you should set the browser fonts to be the Sun fonts rather than the HP fonts. Set the
environment variables as follows:
export MOZILLA_HOME=/opt/netscape/4.7 # the netscape directory
export PATH =$MOZILLA_HOME:$PATH
export MOZILLA_JAVA_FONT_PROPERTY_PATH=$MOZILLA_HOME/java/classes/sun
In all cases of using Netscape, the “afc11.zip” file must be present in the java\classes directory. toptools will sense
the presence or absence of this file the first time you connect to it via Netscape and walk you through installation of
this file. Do not unzip it. Make sure the Netscape program is included in your PATH setting.
