To install the Java plug-in:

1.

Go to the following URL and download the installation file for the Sun JRE when asked:

http:///appiq/j2re-1_4_2_04-solaris-sparc.sh

where is the hostname of the management server.

2.

In a terminal window, execute the downloaded file in a directory where you want the JRE

installed.
This executable installs the Sun JRE on your computer.
The Java plug-in for your Web browser is available in the following file:
$JRE_HOME/plugin/sparc/ns610/libjava_oji.so
where $JRE_HOME is the directory containing the JRE installation.

3.

In a terminal window, go to the $HOME/.mozilla/plugins directory. Create a plugins

directory if it does not exist.

4.

Remove any existing links to the Java plug-in in this directory.

5.

Create a symbolic link to the Java plug-in by using the following command:

ln -s $JRE_HOME/plugin/sparc/ns610/libjava_oji.so

NOTE:

Remember the dot at the end of the command.

6.

If you are a root user on the server and you want to make the plug-in available to all users,

create a symbolic link in the plugins directory under the browser's installation directory,

typically /opt/SUNWns/plugins.

NOTE:

Any existing plug-ins in a user's home directory take precedence over this

system-wide plug-in.

7.

Restart your Web browser.

Installing the Software Security Certificate

To stop receiving a Security Alert message each time you use the HTTPS logon, install the software

security certificate, as described in this section.

Installing the Certificate by Using Microsoft Explorer 6.0

Changing the Security Certificate to Match the Name of the Server

” on page 13

Keep in mind the following:

Enter the DNS name of the computer in the URL instead of localhost. If you use
https://localhost to access the management server, you are shown a "Hostname

Mismatch" error.

For customers to receive a trusted certificate, they need to purchase a certificate from a trusted

entity (most browsers have trust relationships set up for Verisign, Entrust, and Thawte, among

others.) with the Common Name (CN) set to the name of their management server. Also note

that the Common Name in the certificate must match the name in the URL.
