Solaris Management Console 1.0

The Solaris^TM Management Console^TM ("the Console") is a Java^TM-based tool for managing Solaris servers. The Console provides a central integration point for Solaris applications and services.

• Users and system administrators can register applications and services that they wish to use on a given Solaris server. Command line, X, and URL applications can be registered, and can then be remotely invoked by pointing and clicking.

• Multiple Solaris servers can be registered with the Console. Thus, an administrator can select a particular server and then observe and invoke the services registered on it.

• Server registrations can be nested; administrators can expand the initial view of registered servers to include secondary tiers of machines.

• Single sign-on is supported. Additional authentication can be provided for applications that have been registered to require root or group 14 privileges.

• Browser-based client download is provided, allowing any Solaris node to become a client of a server on which the Console's server software is installed.

• Online help is provided for all views and actions.
