The Console tab displays all servers registered in a particular configuration
directory, giving you a consolidated view of all the server software and resources
under your control. What you control is determined by the access permissions the
superadministrator has set up for you.
From this view you can perform tasks across arbitrary groups or a cluster of
servers in a single operation. In other words, you can use the Console tab to
manage a single server or multiple servers that are installed on different ports on
one machine. Also, you can access individual server windows (or administration
interfaces) by double-clicking the icons for the corresponding server instance
entries (SIEs).
With the exception of Certificate Management System, all server instances
displayed on the Console tab store their configuration information in the same
configuration directory. For security purposes, Certificate Management System
uses file-based configuration which is stored locally on the host system; during
installation, the server registers only its SIE in the configuration directory. For
details about this file, see "CMS Configuration" on page 345.
You can accomplish various CMS-specific tasks from the Console tab:
•
Install multiple instances of Certificate Management System.
•
Remove an instance of Certificate Management System from a system or host.
•
Clone an instance of Certificate Management System.
•
Set access permissions for Certificate Management System.
•
Migrate configuration information from one version of Certificate
Management System to another.
•
Launch the Administration Server window (so that you can configure an
Administration Server instance for administering Certificate Management
System).
•
Launch the CMS window.
Users and Groups Tab
The Users and Groups tab (shown in Figure 9-2) manages user accounts, group
lists, and access control information for individual users and groups. All
applications registered within the Netscape Console framework share core user
and group information in the user directory, which typically is a global directory
for corporatewide user data.
