SunScreen 3.2 Administration Guide

Installing and Configuring the Netscape Browser from the Command Line

When using the Java Plug-In for Netscape Navigator, follow the instructions in the Netscape release notes. In particular, define the MOZILLA_HOME environment variable and include the Netscape installation directory in your PATH, so you do not have to type the full path name every time you run Netscape.

To Install and Configure the Netscape Browser

  1. Set up an environment for installing and running the Java Plug-In.

    • For sh or ksh users, type:


      # unset CLASSPATH
# MOZILLA_HOME=/opt/netscape
# PATH=$MOZILLA_HOME:$PATH
# export PATH MOZILLA_HOME

    • For csh users, type:


      % unsetenv CLASSPATH
% setenv MOZILLA_HOME /opt/netscape
% set path = ( $MOZILLA_HOME $path )

  2. Install the Java Plug-In by typing:


    # sh Java_Plugin_File_Name.sh

  3. Save the identitydb.obj file. See "To Save the identitydb.obj File".

  4. Access the SunScreen administration GUI in one of two ways:

    • Access the SunScreen administration GUI with no access to local files by typing:


      # netscape http://screenhost:3852/

    • Access the SunScreen administration GUI using the Java Plug-In, with access to local files for backup and restore, by typing:


      # netscape http://screenhost:3852/plugin/

  5. Set the CLASSPATH environment variable only if you need to install special Java files in Netscape Communicator.

    Communicator uses CLASSPATH to find local .class files. If CLASSPATH is set in your environment, only the .jar files and directories specified in the CLASSPATH are searched. If you set your CLASSPATH, you must make sure that each .jar file in $MOZILLA_HOME/java/classes is listed individually in your CLASSPATH.

To Save the identitydb.obj File

After installing the Java Plug-In, save the identitydb.obj file to distribute to the Administration Stations.

  1. Save the file identitydb.obj by going to the following URL:


    http://localhost:3852/plugin/plugins/

  2. In Netscape, press mouse button 3 and choose Save Link As.

    If your browser does not support this save operation, access identitydb.obj in the /usr/lib/sunscreen/admin/htdocs/plugin/plugins/ directory.

  3. Copy the identitydb.obj file onto a diskette to distribute to all Administration Stations.

  4. If the identitydb.obj file already exists in its proper location, add SunScreen as an accepted signer.

     Operating System Proper Location
     UNIX $HOME
     Single-user Win95 C:\WINDOWS
     Multi-user Win95/98 C:\WINDOWS\PROFILES\username 
     WinNT C:\WINNT\PROFILES\username

    Note -

    If the identitydb.obj file does not exist, copy the file from the diskette to one of the above locations, then perform Step 4.
