iPlanet Application Server Integration Tool Issues and Limitations

ID Summary
None On a local instance, when you start or stop the iPlanet Application Server for the first time, the Web Server associated with it is also started and stopped. You are prompted to identify the name and path of the Web Server. The message reads: "Webserver name should be of the format Path/Webserver Instance Name." The path location of the Web Server is generally in <appserverinstalldirectory\servers\instancename>. This value is stored from the Tools menu, Global Options, iPlanet Application Server Settings, within the Web Server Directory.
Additionally, on Solaris, permission arise as a side-affect of this workaround. See ID 553224 for the Web Server for a resolution.
