b. Select the Cryptographic Module you want to use.

Each keystore has its own entry in this pull-down menu. Be sure that you select the correct keystore. Do not select SUNW acceleration only.

c.In the Key Pair File Password dialog box, provide the password for the user that will own the key.

This password is the username:password (TABLE 5-1).

d.Provide the appropriate information for the following requestor information fields:

TABLE 5-4Requestor Information Fields

Common Name

Website Domain that is typed in a visitor’s browser hostname.domain

Email Address

Contact information for requestor

Organization

A value for the organization to be asserted on the certificate

Organizational Unit

(Optional) A value for the organizational unit that will be asserted

 

on the certificate

Locality

(Optional) City, county, principality, or country, which is also

 

asserted on the certificate if provided

State

(Optional) The full name of the state

Country

e. Select the OK button to submit the information.

7.Use a certificate authority to generate the certificate.

If you choose to post your certificate request to a CA URL, the certificate request is automatically posted there.

If you choose the CA Email Address, copy the certificate request that was emailed to you with the headers and hand it off to your certificate authority.

8.Once the certificate is generated, copy it, along with the headers, to the clipboard.

Note The certificate is different from the certificate request and is usually presented to you in text form. Keep this data on the clipboard for Step 5 of the “To Install the Server Certificate” on page 107.

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.
