Configuring Netra j 2.0

The first time you start Netra j 2.0, you must perform the initial configuration.

To Perform the Initial Configuration

  1. Click the highlighted System Defaults option.

    The System Defaults Administration page is displayed with the default time zone and default system locale.

  2. If necessary, select a new default system time zone from the pick list and then click OK.

  3. Click the forward arrow icon to advance to the next configuration task, or click the Home hyperlink and select the highlighted Host Name option.

    Note -

    If the server is restarted at this time, the initial login sequence (with the new host name) must be repeated to load the Initial Configuration page. At this point, the Host Name option will not be shown as one of the remaining configuration tasks. Proceed to the next administration module.

  5. Click the forward arrow icon to advance to the next configuration task.

    The System Administrator Alias Administration page is displayed.

    The System Administrator Alias is the list of people who will receive mail addressed to the system administrator (who is also known as the UNIX root user). Each item on the list must be a valid mail address. Valid alias members who cannot be reached at configuration time will be added to the alias, but any mail sent to that alias will not be delivered.

    Separate each name with a comma.

  7. Click the forward arrow icon to advance to the next configuration task.

    The Root Password Administration page is displayed.

    Netra j provides a superuser account called root. When the Netra j server is accessed by the root user, many of the restrictions that apply to regular user accounts are removed. For example, the root user can read, write, or delete any file, or change the system configuration. To protect these privileges, the root account has a password.

  8. Type the current root password, if any, into the upper field.

    If you do not know the netmask, leave this field blank.

  19. Click OK.

  20. Click the forward arrow icon to advance to the Main Administration page.

    The Main Administration page is displayed.

To Complete the Configuration
