Preventing the "Warning Applet" Banner

When accessing the Admin Console using a Hotjava browser, you may see a "Warning Applet" banner in all dialogs. To prevent this banner from appearing, add the following two lines to your .hotjava/properties file:

hotjava.default.security=low
hotjava.default.signed.security=low

% cd

% cd .hotjava

2.

Edit the properties file to show the following:

hotjava.default.security=low   hotjava.default.signed.security=low

3.

Save the file and restart the Admin Console.

---

Note - It is always a good idea to change hotjava.default.security to low as some Admin Console functions won't work otherwise.

Admin Console Core Dump

Under certain situations, most often while switching back and forth between pages, the Admin Console may crash and the browser may core dump on the Java virtual machine. To prevent this from happening, set your JDK_HOME to
/usr/java. Change the setting in your Preferences menu or enter the command below:

% setenv JDK_HOME /usr/java

Then start the browser.

Forgetting the Admin Password

If you forget the Admin Console password, you can change it in the slapd.conf file:

If you are using an unencrypted password, you can change it to be encrypted once you log in to the Admin Console. Go to the Sun Directory Services property book, and set Password encryption to Crypt.
