Course Prerequisites


This course assumes you have the equivalent knowledge of the following....

1) Directory Server 4.x Web-Based Training Course

2) Basic Knowledge of the Target OS (Solaris)

3) Basic Web-Based Skills

4) System Administrator Experience

 

Directory Server 4.x Web-Based Training Course

Before you start this course, you need to know the basics of how to use Netscape Directory Server 4.x.  You should already know how to perform common tasks such as... 
  • Adding new user accounts
  • Basic Knowledge Of The Target OS

    Before you start this course you should be familiar with the target operating system (OS): Solaris 2.51 or higher .  You should already know how to perform common tasks such as... 
  • stopping and restarting the OS
  • managing files and directories (copy, rename, move, delete) 
  • editing text files 
  • Basic Web-Based Skills

    You should feel comfortable using a standard web browser such as Netscape's Navigator.  You should already know how and when to use navigational mechanisms built into all browsers such as the "Back" button and the "Go" menu.  You should know what a URL is and how to go to a specific web page given a particular web address. 

    Note that the Navigation Frame at the top of all pages in this course is designed for use with Netscape's Navigator version 4.05 and beyond.

    System Administration Experience

    If you plan to install the Server in a working environment you should have substantial prior experience doing system administration tasks such as installing software, adding new users, trouble-shooting errors, etc.  On the other hand, if your primary expectation from this course is to get an overview of directory services you'll only need the basic web skills described above.
