2.
In the Netscape Console Login dialog box, enter your user name, password,
and the URL for the instance of Administration Server you want to access.
When specifying an Administration Server URL, you can use a hostname (such
as
eastcoast.example.com:8943
) or IP address (such as
199.99.9.1:4434
)
You do not need to include
http://
or use a fully qualified domain name, but
you must include the Administration Server port number.
3.
Click OK.
The user name and password you use to log in determine which servers and
server operations you can access through Netscape Console. See “Overview of
Access Control” on page 167 for more information.
Logging in to Netscape Console Using Client
Authentication
When logging in to an instance of Administration Server that has been configured
to require client authentication, you enter your user name and password, and then
present a client certificate. This certificate is used by the instance of Administration
Server to establish a secure connection with Netscape Console. For more
information on this process, known as the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) handshake,
see Appendix C, “Introduction to SSL.”
TIP
Netscape Console remembers the last five Administration URLs that
you entered. To use one of these URLs, select it from the drop-down
list in the Administration URL field.
