Chapter 5   Post Installation


This chapter describes the post-installation procedures for launching the iPlanet Directory Access Router (iDAR) online help and populating the directory tree.

Launching the Help System

---

The help system for iDAR is dependent upon iPlanet Administration Server. If you are running iPlanet Directory Access Router Console on a machine remote to Administration Server, you will need to confirm the following:

Client IP address authorized on Administration Server. The machine running iDAR Console needs access to Administration Server. To configure Administration Server to accept the client machine's IP address, do the following in Administration Server:

1. Launch iPlanet Administration Server Console. The console should be running on the same machine as Administration Server.

2. Click the Configuration tab, then click the Network tab.

3. In the Connection Restrictions Settings, select "IP Addresses to Allow" from the pull down menu. Click Edit.

4. Edit the IP Addresses field to the following: *.*.*.*

   Note	This allows all clients access to Administration Server.

5. Restart Administration Server. You can now launch the online help by clicking any of the Help buttons in iDAR's Console.

Proxy authorized on Administration Server. If you use proxies for your HTTP connections on the client machine running iDAR Console, you need to do one of the following:

• Remove proxies on the machine running Directory Server Console. This allows the client machine to access Administration Server directly.

  To remove the proxies on the machine running Directory Server Console, you need to alter the proxy configuration of the browser you will use to run the help. In Netscape Communicator, select Preferences from the Edit menu. Select Advanced then Proxies to access the proxy configuration. In Internet Explorer, select Internet Options from the Tools menu.

• Add the client machine proxy IP address to Administration Server list of acceptable IP addresses.

  Caution

  Adding the client machine proxy IP address to Administration Server creates a potential security hole in your system.
