Software Requirements

Cisco has tested and verified that the Netscape Enterprise Server (NES) version 3.62 operates properly with CSRC. Cisco does not provide the NES software package. You must purchase a copy of NES version 3.62 from Netscape.

Using the CSRC Installation Worksheet for NES

As you install the Netscape Enterprise Server, be sure to indicate the following information on the "CSRC Installation Worksheet" (Table 2-1):

NES Installation Procedure

Install NES as root so you can use the default Web server port 80. To install NES, execute the ns-setup installation program and follow the installer's instructions.

Caution When the installer asks you if you want to use the Enterprise Server LDAP support, you must enter no.

For more information about installing NES, see the Netscape Enterprise Server documentation.

What to Do After You Install NES

Step 1 Open the NES administration pages in a Web browser. The NES installer prompts you for the browser you want to use to open the administration pages.

Step 2 Click Create New Enterprise Server.
