Installation Notes

The files included with this Desktop Manager release are organized as follows:

• Server: all the files required to install the central management application:

  • Console: all files required to install the Java™ Web Console (version 2.2.5) and the setup script to perform that installation.

  • Manager: all files required to install the management application and the setup script to perform that installation.

• Client: all the files required to install the desktop side components for desktop configuration and the setup script to perform that installation, as well as a number of select patches providing recommended fixes to known issues.

• Firefox1.5: all files required to install the Firefox desktop adapter and management application templates. Note that these components are provided for preview only, and are not yet supported.

  Installing the Firefox adapter: Once you have extracted the content of the Desktop Manager zip archive, execute the following as root:

  # cd SunDesktopMgr-1.0/<platform>/Firefox1.5/adapter # cp libpreviewmozapoc.so <FirefoxDir>/components

  where <FirefoxDir> is your Firefox installation directory e.g. /usr/sfw/lib/firefox or /opt/sfw/lib/firefox.

  Once the adapter is installed it will be registered automatically for users that have not previously run Firefox. Users who have previously run Firefox must remove their Firefox component registry to force registration of the adapter. The Firefox component registry is located at $HOME/.mozilla/firefox/<profileDir>/compreg.dat. Removing this file and restarting Firefox will force the adapter to be registered.

  Installing the Firefox templates: Once you have extracted the content of the Desktop Manager zip archive and installed the management application, execute the following as root:

  # cd SunDesktopMgr-1.0/<platform>/Firefox1.5/templates # cp -R Firefox1.5_pkg /usr/share/webconsole/apoc/packages # /usr/sbin/smreg add -a /usr/share/webconsole/apoc # /usr/sbin/smcwebserver restart
