Netscape Console322 Netscape Certificate Management System Installation and Setup Guide • May 2002Netscape ConsoleNetscape Console is a stand-alone Java application that provides a GUI-based frontend to all network resources registered in an organization’s configurationdirectory. This unified administration interface (shown in Figure 9-1) simplifiesnetwork administration by supplying access points to all Netscape server instancesinstalled across a network. Similarly, it simplifies basic user and groupmanagement by providing a unified administration interface to the user directory.Figure 9-1 Netscape Console window, with a CMS instance selected in the Console tabConsole TabFor any given instance of Netscape Console, the limits of the network it canadminister are defined by the set of resources whose configuration information isstored in the same configuration directory—that is, the maximum set of hosts andservers that can be monitored from Netscape Console. The superadministrator (theperson who manages the configuration directory) can set access permissions on allnetwork resources registered in the configuration directory. Thus, for a givenadministrator using Netscape Console, the actual number of visible servers andhosts may be fewer, depending on the access permissions that the administratorhas.
