Using Netscape Console


Starting Netscape Console

 
NT systems: Click the startconsole icon (pictured at the left), or use the startconsole.exe command (the default location is c:\netscape\server4\startconsole.exe).

Unix systems:  Use the startconsole command.  The default path is /usr/netscape/server4/startconsole.

Log In As Administrator

Enter the User ID and password you specified when you ran the Setup program.  The default ID is admin (that's also what we suggested for the password).

Expand The Server Group Selection

Click on the icon representing your target system, then expand the Server Group selection to display the two servers you installed earlier: the Admin Server and the Directory Server.

Open The Directory Server Administration Window

When you've found the icon representing our Directory Server, click on the button labeled Open in the upper right-hand corner of the window.

Most of the configuration parameters that affect the Directory Server are accessed by controls in this window.  We'll step through the process for changing them in the next section.
