Solaris Easy Access Server 3.0 Installation Guide

Performing Client Software Installations

A number of SEAS products provide client software that can be installed on PCs running Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT 4.0. Instructions for such client installations are provided for the following SEAS products:

Installing SEAS Clients Over Your Network

When the contents of the SEAS software has been copied to a Solaris server, you can perform SEAS client installations over your network rather than from the SEAS product CD.

How To Install SEAS Clients over Your Network

  1. On the PC desktop, double-click Network Neighborhood.

  2. Select the server on which the SEAS software is available.

  3. Find the folder that contains the Installer icon.

  4. Double-click the Installer icon to start the installation wizard.

Installing the SMC Client

The SMC Client is that portion of the SEAS software that enables you to bring up the Solaris Management Console for managing the SEAS products from a system other than the server.

The Solaris server and client portions of the SMC are installed when you install SEAS with Web Start. However, you must install the client portion on all the systems, other than the server, from which you want to run the SMC. These systems include Solaris systems and PCs running Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT 4.0.

How to Install the SMC Client

  1. Launch a Web browser.

  2. Point to port 898 on the server on which you installed the SMC server software.

    If you installed the SMC Server software on a network-available machine named wyoming, for example, point to the URL: http://wyoming:898.

    The SMC server site opens with links to the SMC requirements and procedures, including instructions for downloading and installing SMC client software.

  3. Read the Installation Requirements.

  4. Click Download Procedure to download the software and install the SMC Client software.

    When you have completed the SMC client installation, refer to the Solaris Easy Access Server 3.0 Release Notes to find out if any of the products you have installed have recommended or required patches.

Installing the AdminSuite Client

The AdminSuite Client is that portion of the AdminSuite 3.0 software that enables you to bring up the AdminSuite console on a PC running Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 95 and Windows 98. The AdminSuite Client enables you to perform user and host management tasks, such as add users and groups, manage NIS and NIS+ domains, and so forth.

You can install the AdminSuite Client from a CD-ROM or over the network. Before starting the AdminSuite Client installation, you need to know the name of the AdminSuite server as you will be prompted for it. Currently, the AdminSuite Client will not run from the CD-ROM directly. It must be installed so that various property files can be created and adjusted.

How to Install the AdminSuite Client

  1. On the PC, open Explorer.

  2. Locate the Setup.exe file for AdminSuite on the SEAS product CD.

  3. Double-click the Setup.exe file to launch the installation.

  4. If necessary, add ..\bin\admapp.bat file to your Windows Startup menu.

How to Run the AdminSuite Console

  1. If necessary, run the ..\bin\admapp.bat file.

  2. Type the name of the AdminSuite server, an existing user name and password, and press Return.

Installing the Solaris PC NetLink Client

There are two ways to install the PC NetLink Client software: over the network and from the SEAS product CD.

How to Install the Solaris PC NetLink Client over the Network

When installing the Solaris PC NetLink Client software over the network, the Solaris PC NetLink server software must be installed on a server and the client PC must be authenticated in the Solaris PC NetLink server domain. The client computer must be on the same subnetwork as the server, or you must use WINS.

  1. Double-click Network Neighborhood on the PC desktop.

  2. Select the server on which PC NetLink has been installed.

  3. Open the Tools folder and follow the instructions in the readme_en.txt file.

How to Install the Solaris PC NetLink Client from the Product CD

  1. Insert the SEAS product CD in the PC's CD-ROM drive and, when the splash screen opens, click on the PC NetLink icon.

  2. Click Next, and then click Yes to accept the terms of the software license agreement

  3. Click Next to accept the default installation path.

    The default path is C:\...\SUNW\SunLink Server Manager. To specify an alternative installation path, click Browse and select the desired folder.

    Once the installation path is selected, the installation starts, and you will be prompted to either restart the PC immediately (default) or later.

  4. To restart the PC later, select No and then click Finish.

    Restarting the PC updates the Windows Registry with data pertaining to the PC NetLink software.

Installing the WBEM SDK

WBEM SDK installs the components needed to write WBEM-compliant management applications and providers that run on the Java platform on Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT 4.0. This software cannot be used to write providers for Microsoft's Win32 operating system. These components consist of the following: CIM Workshop, Client API, Provider API, Sample Client Programs , Sample Provider Programs, user documentation, the WBEM on Sun Developer's Guide, Javadoc for Client and Provider API .

If you install WBEM under a default SEAS installation using the installation wizard, WBEM will display a screen requesting the Sun Directory Services (SDS) administrator's account password. Typing the password at this screen is optional. Click Next to bypass the password screen. If the SDS administrative account password is not set during the installation of WBEM as part of a SEAS installation, you must run the wbemconfig script to start SDS and configure your WBEM environment.

If you install WBEM under a default SEAS installation using the install --nodisplay command in a terminal window, the password screen is not shown.

How to Install the WBEM SDK

  1. Place the SEAS Product CD in your CD-ROM drive.

    The Welcome window opens.

  2. Click the WBEM SDK for Java icon, and then click Next.

    The Choose Destination Location dialog box opens. The dialog prompts you that the WBEM SDK for Java and corresponding documentation will be installed in the following path: C:/Program Files/SUNWconn.

  3. Click Next to continue. Otherwise, if you want to select a different path in which to install WBEM SDK for Java, then click Browse and select the path. Then click Next.

    The Select Components dialog box opens.

  4. Ensure that a check mark appears in the check box beside the name of the WBEM SDK for Java and Documentation to install each of these components. Click Next.

    The Select Program Folders dialog box opens. The dialog shows the default folder, Accessories, in which the WBEM SDK will be contained.

  5. Click Next to display the WBEM SDK for Java in the Accessories folder. Otherwise, click a different folder in the Existing Folders field, then click Next.

    The WBEM SDK is installed. The Setup Complete dialogbox opens.

  6. Click Finish to complete the installation.

Uninstalling the WBEM SDK

In the Microsoft Windows environment, you can uninstall the WBEM SDK in the Add/Remove Programs Properties dialog box.

How to Uninstall the WBEM SDK in Microsoft Windows

  1. Click Start->Settings->Control Panel.

    The Control Panel window opens.

  2. Double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon.

    The Add/Remove Programs Properties dialog box opens. Ensure that the Install/Uninstall tab is selected.

    • C:\Program Files\wbemsdk

    After you remove both the Sun WBEM SDK and Solaris WBEM Services, the LDAP schema and data files remain installed. You can remove these files, and the subdirectories that contain them, from the path /opt/SUNWconn/ldap. However, if you remove the LDAP data, you may encounter errors in other applications that require the data. Also, if you remove the LDAP data, you will need to re-install it if you decide to re-install the Sun WBEM SDK or Solaris WBEM Services at a later date.

  5. Click OK to close all open dialog boxes and close the Control Panel.
