Installing the Java Plug-in

Java 2 Runtime Environment is required to access several features in the management server, such

as System Manager. If your Web browser is running on or Linux, you must manually install the Java

plug-in.

To install the Java plug-in on Linux:

1. Go to the following URL and download the installation file for the Sun JRE when asked:

http://<management_server>/servlet.html?page=JavaPluginLinux

where <management_server> is the hostname of the management server.

2. In a terminal window, execute the downloaded file in a directory where you want the JRE

installed.

This executable installs the Sun JRE on your computer.

The Java plug-in for your Web browser is available in the following file:

$JRE_HOME/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so

where $JRE_HOME is the directory containing the JRE installation.

3. Set the executable permission of the downloaded file:

chmod +x downloaded_file_name

4. In a terminal window, go to the $HOME/.mozilla/plugins directory. Create a plugins

directory if it does not exist.

5. Remove any existing links to the Java plug-in in this directory. You may use the

rm libjavaplugin_oji.so command in a terminal window to remove an existing symbolic

link to the Java plug-in.

6. Create a symbolic link to the Java plug-in by using the following command:

ln -s $JRE_HOME/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so .

NOTE: Remember the dot at the end of the command.

NOTE: If you create this symbolic link in any directory other than

$HOME/.mozilla/plugins, your browser will not be able to use this new Java plug-in.

7. If you are a root user on the server and you want to make the plug-in available to all users,

create a symbolic link to the Java plug-in in the plugins directory under the browser's

installation directory.

NOTE: Any existing plug-ins in a user's home directory take precedence over this

system-wide plug-in.

8. Restart your Web browser.
