Web-launched SL Console

Starting the Web-launched SL Console on a Client

You can use either of the following methods to start and log in to the Web-launched SL Console on a client:

■From a command line (Solaris only) or supported browser. See “Log in to the Web- launched SL Console Using a Browser or Command Line” on page 43.

■By double-clicking the slc.jnlp icon on your client. In order to use this method from a client, you must use the browser method at least once and save the slc.jnlp file locally. See “Log in to the Web-launched SL Console Using an Icon” on page 49.

▼Log in to the Web-launched SL Console Using a Browser or Command Line

Note – Before you perform this activity, you must obtain the DNS alias or IP address of the SL Console server. Depending on how your Web-launched SL Console server has been set up, it may be accessible only by IP address. See your library administrator for assistance.

Note – The command line option is available on Solaris platforms only.

On Windows 2000, you may need to install a Java plugin for your Web browser before performing this procedure. You can download the plugin from the following location:

http://java.sun.com/products/archive/j2se/5.0_04/index.html

On Solaris platforms, it is easier to log in to the Web-launched SL Console using the command line. If you prefer to log in using a Web browser, however, you need to download a recent version of the Firefox Web browser from the following location:

http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0

.9/contrib/solaris_tarball/firefox-2.0.0.9.en-US.solaris8-sparc- gtk1.tar.bz2

1.Choose your login method:

■Command line—available on Solaris only. Proceed to Step 2.

■Web browser—available on either Windows or Solaris. Proceed to Step 3.

2.Open a terminal window, and type the following command: javaws http://server_ID/opel/slc.jnlp

where:

■server_ID is either of the following:

■IP address of the SL Console server (in nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn format)

■DNS alias of the SL Console server

■opel is the name (context root) of the Web-launched SL Console application on the server.
