Web-launched SL Console

Web-launched SL Console
The Web-launched SL Console is a standard feature of the library. It enables the
SL Console to be installed on a centralized Web server. Individual clients can then use
a supported Web browser to download the Web-launched SL Console. Using the Web-
launched SL Console you can connect to any library for which you have a valid user ID.
The Web-launched SL Console is delivered to clients as a Java Web Start process, which
executes outside the browser.

Security Considerations

The Web-launched SL Console software is digitally signed, which guarantees that it has
been issued by Sun Microsystems, Inc. and has not been altered or corrupted since it
was created. As a Java Web Start process, the Web-launched SL Console includes the
security features provided by the Java 2 platform.
The customer is responsible for implementing all appropriate additional security
systems, including firewalls, user access, etc.

Web-launched SL Console Updates

Updates to the Web-launched SL Console only need to be installed on the centralized
Web server. Once the updates are installed on the server, they are downloaded
automatically to all clients whenever the application is started on the client.
