Solaris Installation

This section describes steps to take to install CMS4 on Solaris 2.6 systems. If you are taking this course on a Windows NT system, you should skip this section and go to NT Installation.

Run the setup script for Solaris.

These instructions assume you already have the CMS4 installation software available, either on a CD or on your hard disk.

To uninstall this product, go to the server root directory (which is /usr/netscape/server4 by default) and run ./uninstall. You'll need to know the Admin password - "admin" is what we suggested.

CMS4 Admin Guide, Unix Installation script

Running setup.exe

To run the installation script, open a command window, get into the dist directory and execute the setup script:
cd temporary directory
cd dist
./setup

This will produce a new window with a series of text-based questions. The table below shows an abbreviated version of these questions and the answers you should use for the CMS4 demo installation.

Many of the responses you'll make during this phase of the installation procedure simply involve accepting the default selection. In the following instructions, fields that require you to override the default are marked in red.

24.  Each instance of the certificate server requires a unique identifier....

Netscape Certificate Management System Server Identifier [your_machine]:

Press Return to accept the default.

The script copies the files and updates the system, which may take a few minutes. When it is finished, press Return to continue.


The first phase of the installation is now complete. The installation script has installed Netscape Console, installed and started an Administration Server and its configuration directory, and copied the files for Certificate Management System. You are now ready to configure the Certificate Management System instance by running the Installation Wizard.
