1.
Open the Netscape Console application by using the appropriate option:
❍
For local access on a Unix machine, at the command-line prompt, enter the
following line:
<server_root>/admin-<instance_id>/start-console
❍
Local access on a Windows NT machine, double-click the Netscape
Console icon on your desktop; this icon was created when you installed
your first Netscape version 4.x server.
The Netscape Console window appears.
2.
Authenticate yourself to the configuration directory.
User ID. Type the administrator ID you specified when you installed
Administration Server on your machine. You installed Administration Server
either when you installed your first Netscape 4.x server or as a part of CMS
installation.
Password. Type the administrator password that you specified when you
installed Administration Server on your computer during CMS installation.
Administration URL.
This field should show the URL to Administration
Server. If it doesn’t or if it doesn’t have the URL of Administration Server that
you want, type the URL in this field. The URL is based on the computer host
name and the Administration Server port number you chose when you
installed Certificate Management System. Use this format:
http://<machine_name>.<your_domain>.<domain>:<port_number>
For example, if your domain name is
siroe.com
and you installed
Administration Server on a host machine called
myHost
and specified port
number
12345
, the URL would look like this:
http://myHost.siroe.com:12345

Click OK.
Netscape Console appears with a list of all the servers and resources under
your control (see Figure 9-1). To view general information about a specific
