Typographical Conventions

---

This section explains the typographical conventions used in this book.

Monospaced font - This typeface is used for literal text, such as the names of attributes and object classes when they appear in text. It is also used for URLs, filenames, and examples.

Italic font - This typeface is used for emphasis, for new terms, and for text that you must substitute for actual values, such as placeholders in path names.

The greater-than symbol (>) is used as a separator when naming an item in a menu or sub-menu. For example, Object > New > User means that you should select the User item in the New sub-menu of the Object menu.

Default Paths and Filenames

---

All path and filename examples in the Sun ONE Server Console product documentation are one of the following two forms:

ServerRoot/... - The ServerRoot is the location of the Sun ONE Server Console product. The actual ServerRoot path depends on your platform, your installation, and your configuration. The default path depends on the product platform and packaging as shown in Table 1.

Table 1    Default ServerRoot Paths 

Product Version	ServerRoot Path
Solaris Packages1	/var/mps/serverroot - After configuration, this directory contains links to the following locations: /etc/mps/admin/v5.2 (static configuration files) /usr/admserv/mps/admin (Sun ONE Administration Server binaries) /usr/admserv/mps/console (Server Console binaries)
Compressed Archive Installation on Solaris and Other UNIX Systems	/var/Sun/mps
Zip Installation on Windows Systems	C:\Program Files\Sun\MPS

1 If you are working on the Solaris Operating Environment and are unsure which version of the Sun ONE Server Console software is installed, check for the existence a key package such as SUNWasvu using the pkginfo command. For example: pkginfo | grep SUNWasvu.
