4.Set encryption to On.

The Port field in the dialog box should update to the default SSL port number 443. Alter the port number if necessary.

5.Select the OK button.

6.Apply these changes by selecting the Save button.

The web server is now configured to run in secure mode.

7.Edit the /usr/netscape/server4/https-hostname/config/magnus.conf file (hostname is the name of the web server) by adding the following line:

CERTDefaultNickname keystore_name:Server-Cert

By default, the certificate you generated is named Server-Cert. If your certificate has a different name, be sure to use the name you chose instead of Server-Cert.

8.Select the server you want to administer and select the Apply button in the far upper right corner of the page.

This selection applies the changes through the Sun ONE Web Server 4.1 Administration Server.

9.Select the Load Configuration Files button to apply the changes you just made to the magnus.conf file.

You are redirected to a page that enables you to start your web server instance.

If you select the Apply Changes button when the server is off, an authentication dialog box prompts you for the username:password. This window is not resizable, and you might have a problem submitting the change.

There are two workarounds for this problem:

Select the Load Configuration Files instead.

Start up the web server first, and select the Apply Changes button.

10.In the Sun ONE Web Server 4.1 Administration Server window, select the On/Off link on the left side of the window.

11.Enter the passwords for the servers and select the OK button.

You are prompted for one or more passwords. At the Module Internal prompt, provide the password for the web server trust database.

At the Module keystore_name prompt, enter the username:password for that keystore. Enter the username:password for other keystores as prompted.

12.Verify the new SSL-enabled web server at the following URL: https://hostname.domain:server_port/

4000 specifications

Sun Microsystems, a pivotal player in the computing industry during the late 20th and early 21st centuries, was renowned for its innovative hardware and software solutions. Among its notable offerings were the Sun-6000, Sun-5000, and Sun-4000 series, powerful workstations and servers designed for a range of enterprise-level applications.

The Sun-6000 series, introduced in the early 1990s, marked a significant advancement in computing performance. These systems were built on the SPARC architecture, which facilitated high levels of processing power and multitasking capabilities. One of the main features of the 6000 series was its scalability, allowing organizations to increase their processing power by adding more modules. It also offered robust graphics performance, making it ideal for scientific visualization and complex data analysis.

Next in line was the Sun-5000 series. Launched shortly after the 6000 series, the 5000 line was celebrated for its reliability and ease of management. This series emphasized a balanced architecture, which combined processing capabilities with ample memory and storage options. Key characteristics included support for multiple processors, leading to improved performance for demanding applications. Additionally, the 5000 systems featured advanced input/output capabilities, ensuring fast data transfers—crucial for database applications and web servers.

Finally, the Sun-4000 series targeted businesses seeking affordable yet potent computing solutions. These servers boasted a modular design, allowing for easy upgrades and maintenance. The 4000 series was particularly notable for its support for various operating systems, including SunOS and Solaris. These systems were engineered to handle a range of workloads, from enterprise resource planning to web hosting, while still fitting into a value-driven budget.

Across all three series, Sun Microsystems prioritized compatibility and integration, ensuring that each system offered seamless connectivity with Sun's software solutions and third-party applications. Their commitment to open standards and interoperability set them apart in the competitive landscape of enterprise computing. Additionally, the use of high-quality components lent the systems durability, making them a wise investment for organizations looking to future-proof their IT infrastructure.

In summary, the Sun-6000, 5000, and 4000 series exemplified Sun Microsystems' ethos of innovation and reliability. These powerful systems catered to diverse business needs, setting benchmarks in performance and functionality that continue to influence modern computing.
