Some web proxy servers are configured to block popup windows. The Sun N1 Service Provisioning System 6.0 relies on the ability to present popup windows to run properly. Do not run web proxy servers that block popup windows or set your browser to block popup windows.
To run properly, the Sun N1 Service Provisioning System 6.0 relies on the ability to use cookies. Set your browser to allow the use of cookies.
If you want to use SSH for secure connections on Linux and UNIX systems, you must have SSH protocol version 2 installed on each server that you want to use SSH.

The Sun N1 Service Provisioning System 6.0 has been internationalized to install and run in localized environment. Also, the Sun N1 Service Provisioning System 6.0 accepts non–ASCII characters. You will need to adhere to the following requirements if you require that the software support non-ASCII characters:
All applications must be run in the same locale or in locales that are equivalent. The Remote Agent, Local Distributors, and CLI Client must run a locale that is compatible with the locale in which the Master Server is running.
You must use Internet Explorer 5.5 or 6.0, or Netscape 7.1.
Set the web browser Character Interface to use UTF-8, which is also known as Unicode or Universal Alphabet.
In the configuration files, such as the config.properties file, all non-ASCII characters must be Unicode-encoded. You can create configuration files in any encoding. Then, use the native2ascii command that is available in the JavaTM Development Kit (JDK) package to convert the file to Unicode-encoded ASCII characters.
