Notes |
1.
Open the temporary folder where you extracted the installation software
and double-click on the icon representing setup.exe .
|
The setup program will produce a large splash screen that takes
up all of your monitor's display space.
|
You'll have to move this screen aside in order to view the rest of the instructions
on this page.
View the accompanying video clip for a demonstration of how to do this.
|
2. Welcome
|
Click Next.
|
|
3. Software License Agreement
|
Click Yes.
|
You'll have to override the default.
|
4. Select Server or Console Installation
|
Leave the default setting (Netscape Servers) selected and click Next.
|
This selection will install CMS4.1 as well as Directory Server 4, the Admin Server,
and Netscape Console.
The other choice will only install Netscape Console.
|
5. Select Installation Type
|
Leave the default setting (Typical) selected and click Next.
|
In this course we'll cover a Typical installation.
|
6. Choose Installation Directory
|
Before you accept the default setting,
C:\Netscape\Server4 , be sure the drive you've selected is formatted as
as NTFS (see Preinstallation Planning).
If not, you will either have to select another drive or convert one of your
FAT drives to NTFS.
On many systems drive D: uses the NTFS format, so the
installation directory would be
D:\Netscape\Server4
Click Next when you're finished.
|
This will be the folder where the software is actually installed.
This folder is often referred to as the server root directory.
This is also the default installation location for other Netscape servers,
like the Directory Server and the Messaging Server.
The server root selection is an important parameter that will be referenced
often, so make note of this entry.
|
7. Select Products
| Leave all four components
(core components, Directory Server, Administraitve Services, and CMS)
selected and click Next.
|
You'll need all 4 components to install CMS4.
This screen gives you the option of only installing or reinstalling selected components.
This screen will also show you if components have already been installed.
|
8. Directory Server 4.1
|
Leave the default setting ("This instance will be the configuration directory server") selected and click Next.
|
Unlike other Netscape servers that fall under the console framework, CMS
doesn't store it's configuration information in the Directory Server.
Instead, CMS uses a special configuration file, CMS.cfg .
CMS4 uses the configuration directory only to register the server instance ID
for CMS so you can launch the CMS administration window from Netscape Console.
This screen gives you the option of using an existing directory server for that purpose.
|
9. Directory Server 4.1
|
Leave the default setting ("Store data in this directory server") selected and click Next.
|
CMS4 needs a directory server to store user information.
In typical installations, you would configure CMS4 to use an existing directory server.
Since we're going to put everything on one machine, we'll need to install a local copy
of a directory server.
|
10. Directory Server 4.1 Server Settings
|
Verify the server port number is set to 389, then click Next.
|
The server identifier can be anything you want, but be sure to make note
of the name you choose.
The suffix must be set to o= domain.com
(just use the default).
|
11. Directory Server 4.1 Netscape Configuration Directory Server Administrator
| Set the Configuration Directory Administrator's ID and password to "admin", then click Next:
- Configuration Directory Administrator ID: admin
- Password: admin
- Password (again): admin
This is a very important password, so make sure you enter it correctly.
You'll need this password to login to Netscape Console or to unistall CMS4.
|
This login and password limit access to Netscape Console, which in turn controls
administrative access to all Netscape servers in a particular server group.
That's why this is an important password.
|
12. Directory Server 4.1 Administration Domain
| Accept the default, which should be your company's domain name,
in the form domain.com
|
If you're inside the firewall at Netscape, this domain will be set to
netscape.com . That's OK for this exercise.
|
13. Directory Server 4.1 Directory Manager Settings
| Enter the following values, then click Next:
- Directory Manager DN: cn=Directory Manager
- Password: dirmanager
- Password (again): dirmanager
|
What we're doing here is telling CMS4 what login to use
when it modifies information on the corporate directory server -
for instance, when it publishes certs.
The corporate directory server would normally be administered by a different
department using a different server in different server group - that's
why you need to specify the administrative login.
In this course, however, all servers will be installed on one machine in
one server group.
|
14. Administration Server Port Selection
| Type the value 17001 and click Next.
|
Netscape Console will use this port number to connect to the Administration Server.
You'll need this port number and the Administrator's login ("admin") to startup
Netscape Console, so make note of it.
|
15. Netscape Certificate Management System Server identifier
| Accept the default identifier and click Next.
|
The exact name isn't critical for this demo installation.
|
16. Configuration Summary
| Click Next.
|
This is the last point in the script at which you can abort the installation.
|
17. Setup progress indicator
|
|
At this point, the installation script extracts
and installs the binaries for all of the servers in the server root directory and
creates and starts instances of the Administration Server and Directory Server.
This process may take a few minutes.
|
18. Setup Complete
| Override the default setting ("Restart my computer now") and select
Reboot later.
Then click the Finish button.
|
There's no need to reboot at this point, assuming everything has worked so far.
Installation of CMS4 is not complete, however, until you've run through the
Installation Wizard.
