- 1.3 _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n__M_e_t_h_o_d
-
- All of the subsystems for the Netscape Administration Server
- can be installed using IRIX. You do not need to use the
- miniroot. Refer to the _S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _A_d_m_i_n_i_s_t_r_a_t_o_r'_s

-
- 1.4 _C_o_n_f_i_g_u_r_a_t_i_o_n__F_i_l_e_s
-
- There are several configuration files in this product. The
- first, /_e_t_c/_c_o_n_f_i_g/_n_s_s__a_d_m_i_n, is controlled by the state of
- the _c_h_k_c_o_n_f_i_g command. The value is either on or off
- depending on whether the Administration Server should be
- started automatically on system reboot or not started and
- thus started manually.
-
- The next file is /_e_t_c/_i_n_i_t._d/_n_s_s__a_d_m_i_n, which starts and
- stops the Administration Server. In general you should not
- need to edit this file.
-
- The next file is the Administration Server's password file.
- This is located in /_v_a_r/_n_e_t_s_c_a_p_e/_s_u_i_t_e_s_p_o_t/_a_d_m_i_n-
- _s_e_r_v/_c_o_n_f_i_g/_a_d_m_p_w and currently ships with _a_d_m_i_n as the
- Administration password. Notice that the password is stored
- in an encrypted form. Once you begin administering your
- system you should configure a different Administration
- Server password using the administration forms in your
- Administration Server.
-
- 1.5 _F_i_l_e_s__N_o_t__L_i_s_t_e_d__b_y__vvvv_eeee_rrrr_ssss_iiii_oooo_nnnn_ssss
-
- This version of the Netscape Administration Server creates
- files not listed by _vvvv_eeee_rrrr_ssss_iiii_oooo_nnnn_ssss. They mimic the _i_n_s_t config
- files in their behavior. When the new version is installed,
- it creates the following file if a file of the same name
- exists at time of installation:
-
- ////vvvvaaaarrrr////nnnneeeettttssssccccaaaappppeeee////ssssuuuuiiiitttteeeessssppppooootttt////aaaaddddmmmmiiiinnnn----sssseeeerrrrvvvv////ccccoooonnnnffffiiiigggg////nnnnssss----aaaaddddmmmmiiiinnnn....ccccoooonnnnffff....NNNN
-
- This file is the default configuration file for the
- Administration Server. It can usually be safely removed. If
- you replace the _n_s-_a_d_m_i_n._c_o_n_f file with the ".N" file, then
- you will need to stop and start the Admin Server by the
- command /_e_t_c/_i_n_i_t._d/_n_s_s__a_d_m_i_n _s_t_a_r_t|_s_t_o_p.

- preinstalled and preconfigured.

- In the forms used to administer the Netscape Servers, there
- are two user accounts that are mentioned. One is a Unix
- user account that must appear in the /etc/passwd file, and
- the other is the Netscape Administration Server user, which
- does not exist in the password file but in the
- /_v_a_r/_n_e_t_s_c_a_p_e/_s_u_i_t_e_s_p_o_t/_a_d_m_i_n-_s_e_r_v/_c_o_n_f_i_g/_a_d_m_p_w file. The
- Unix user account is used to run the Server process and has
- a default of root. If you use the nobody user, make sure
- that the value of the user id and group id is 60001 and not
- a negative number. Also make sure that nobody has write
- access to the files and directories needed by the
- Administration Server including all the administration
- configuration directories, files and log files, and all
- administered Server configuration directories and files.
- Since these files and directories are installed owned by
- root.sys, as root, you must change the ownership to
- nobody.nobody before successfully running the Administration
- Server as nobody.
-
- Configuration of the Netscape Servers images requires the
- use of the Netscape Navigator as a graphical front end for
- the configuration process. If you are installing these
- images on a CHALLENGE S or other Silicon Graphics Server
- system you are required to have an X terminal or workstation
- with an X windows display capability accessible from the
- server.
-
- If you install another Netscape Server you must restart the
- Administration Server before the Administration Server will
- be able to configure the new Server.
-
- For more details on configuring and administering your
- Netscape Servers, see the online help available from the
- administration Server.

- 1.7 _F_i_n_a_l__I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n__I_n_f_o_r_m_a_t_i_o_n
-
- The Netscape Server products share a common Administration
- Server when more than one Netscape Server is installed on
- the same machine. This Administration Server must be
- running in order to administer your Netscape Server. Upon
- installation this Administration Server is not configured to
- automatically start when the system is rebooted. If you
- wish the Server to be started on reboot, then do the
- following:
-
- #### cccchhhhkkkkccccoooonnnnffffiiiigggg nnnnssssssss____aaaaddddmmmmiiiinnnn oooonnnn
-
- If you do not do this, then you will have to start the
- Administration Server by hand in order to administer your
- Netscape Servers. To start the server by hand execute the
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- - 4 -
-
-
-
- following command:
-
- #### ////vvvvaaaarrrr////nnnneeeettttssssccccaaaappppeeee////ssssuuuuiiiitttteeeessssppppooootttt////ssssttttaaaarrrrtttt----aaaaddddmmmmiiiinnnn

- 1.7.1 _A_u_t_o_-_C_o_n_f_i_g_u_r_a_t_i_o_n__o_f__t_h_e__A_d_m_i_n_i_s_t_r_a_t_i_o_n__S_e_r_v_e_r
-
- Upon installation of the Administration Server and each time
- the command /etc/init.d/nss_admin start is run, the
- Administration Server checks to see if any key system
- information has changed, including the host name, IP
- address, on domain. If so these changes are made to the
- configuration files in the product. The command to do this
- is /var/netscape/suitespot/sgi_config/admin/configure. This
- script must be run by hand if the Administration Server is
- not chkconfig'ed on and any of these system parameters
- change. The Administration Server must then be restarted.
-
- 1.8 _R_e_m_o_v_i_n_g__N_e_t_s_c_a_p_e__S_e_r_v_e_r__P_r_o_d_u_c_t_s
-
- Before removing a Netscape Server product with swmgr or
- inst, remove the server instance(s) using the Administration
- Server (including the Administration binaries). Otherwise,
- the Administration server will show the server instances,
- but provide no means by which to administer them.
