Netra j 2.0 Administrator's Guide

Netra j Software

Netra j is a software-only Solaris application that provides all the components required to boot and administer JavaStation clients and their users. Netra j software includes JavaStation(TM) client software, secure 3270/5250 web-to-host connectivity for any Java-enabled client, and browser-based management of complex network services such as DNS, NIS, and DHCP, as well as JavaStation clients and users.

Netra j software can be added to new or existing SPARC(TM) systems running Solaris 2.5.1 or later. For Solaris 2.5.1 systems, all the components required to support JavaStation systems and internet/intranet connectivity are included, such as Sun Internet Mail Server(TM) and Sun WebServer(TM).

Unlike prior Netra j products, Netra j 2.0 software enables experienced Solaris system administrators to use the command line for administration, while administrators with little or no UNIX\256 expertise can use the Netra browser interface to accomplish adds, moves, and changes for departments and remote sites. Both administration methods are supported. And since Netra j is a Solaris application, it can coexist with other Solaris-compatible applications, and it can be installed on any SPARC-based Sun system running Solaris 2.5.1 or 2.6.

Servers running the Netra j software can be set up as NIS clients or slaves in an existing Sun network, or as NIS masters for standalone and Java pilot deployment.

The Netra j software includes several software packages that are required to set up and configure the network computing environment to deploy JavaStation clients and applications for any Java-enabled client. The software packages include:
