Changes from Solstice AdminSuite 2.3 to Solaris Management Console 2.0

Trusted Solaris 8 replaces the administration tools that in Trusted Solaris 7 were based on Solstice AdminSuite 2.3. The Solstice_Apps folder is removed and replaced with the Solaris Management Console action. CDE online help for these administrative databases is replaced by online help in the Solaris Management Console GUI.

---

Note -

The SMC online help refers to the profile shell as the administrator's shell. There are now three profile shells: Bourne, Korn, and C shells.

---

The Solaris Management Console action invokes a GUI based on Java 1.2.2_05a. The SMC GUI enables administrators to manage user, network, execution profile (now called "rights" or "rights profiles"), and other databases. After opening the Solaris Management Console (SMC), the administrator chooses a "toolbox", which is a collection of programs, and then uses the programs permitted to the administrative role. The SMC does not support the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).

The following tables show the correspondences between Trusted Solaris 7 programs and SMC programs. Note that some actions in the System_Admin folder have been superseded by SMC tools.
