Federated Naming Service (FNS)

FNS is the interface the SSL security tools use to access credentials. The Sun WebServer security packages create a name service context in which to store and retrieve credentials from files.

Remove any existing FNS packages and install the SUNWfns package bundled with Sun WebServer.

This step is done before you install Sun WebServer. If you did not remove SUNWfns and install the bundled package, do so now on hosts where you will use SSL, including the Root CA host.

The SUNWfns package that is part of Solaris 2.6 will not work with SSL. Removing the package will not cause you to lose any data, and your existing FNS contexts will be preserved once the new SUNWfns package is installed. Both packages are version 11.6.0, but the full VERSION from pkginfo -l SUNWfns is 11.6.0,REV=1998.02.08.15.10 for the supported package.
