This Guide

This guide assumes that the systems administrator and the i-Planet administrator are the same person or at least persons of the same level of experience, level, and skill, and that have the same access to the network.

The term user, when used, refers to the i-Planet administrator and the systems administrator when they are the same person.

The term end user refers to the employee or business partner who is using the i-Planet product to obtain access over the Internet to the company's private network.

You use the information in this guide to configure and manage, that is, administer the i-Planet product. You do this primarily through the Administration Console, which is a browser-based graphical user interface (GUI). You must also administer parts of this product using the command line and you probably will have to modify some files. In addition to this guide, there is online help for the Administration Console. The only documentation that the end users have is the on-line help. You will have to supply them with certain information, such as passwords for authentication.
