Setting Up RConsoleJ

To set up RConsoleJ, complete the following sections:


Loading the RConsoleJ Agent

  1. At the server console prompt, enter

    rconag6

  2. Enter the password you want network administrators to use when accessing the target NetWare server using RConsoleJ.

  3. Enter the TCP port number.

    The default value is 2034.

    If the server communicates using IPX only, enter -1 to disable TCP listening.

    To enable listening over a dynamically assigned port, enter 0.

  4. Enter the SPXTM port number on which RCONAG6 will listen for a proxy server.

    The default is 16800.

    If the server communicates using IP only, enter -1 to disable SPX listening.

    To enable listening over a dynamically assigned port, enter 0.

    NOTE:  /DEV/TCP and /DEV/TCPSSL will fail if you are using a pure IPX server.

    To enable RConsoleJ across the firewall, you need to keep the following ports open: 2034, 2035, and 2036.

  5. Enter the TCP port number for the secure session.

    The default is 2036.

    Ensure that the Key Material Object named SSL CertificateDNS has been created.

    NOTE:  The Secure connection is available only on IP and not on IPX.


Running the RConsoleJ Client

You can run the RConsoleJ client from a workstation or a NetWare server.


Running the RConsoleJ Client from a Workstation

You can run the RConsoleJ Client on a workstation using any of the following methods:

  • From a Windows* 2000/XP workstation, browse to ConsoleOne_installation_directory\1.2, and run rconj.exe.
  • In Novell ConsoleOneTM, right-click the NetWare server object that you want to remotely control, then click Remote Management.
  • In ConsoleOne, select the NetWare server object and then from the Tools menu, click ZENworks Remote Management > Remote Console > NetWare.
  • In ConsoleOne, right-click a Subscriber or Distributor object, then click Remote Management.
  • If you have installed ZENworks 6.5 Management and Monitoring Services, select the NetWare server in the Atlas Namespace, then click Remote Management.


Running the RConsoleJ Client on a NetWare Server

You can run the RConsoleJ Client on a NetWare server using any of the following methods:

  • In ConsoleOne, right-click the NetWare server object that you want to remote control and click Remote Management, or click the NetWare server object and then from the Tools option click ZENworks Remote Management > Remote Console > NetWare.
  • From the server console prompt, enter rconj.ncf.
  • From the server GUI, click Novell > Programs > RConsoleJ.


Loading the RConsoleJ Proxy Agent on a Proxy Server

The NetWare server loaded with RConsoleJ Proxy Agent should have an IP/IPX stack loaded.

  1. At the server console prompt, enter the following command:

    rconprxy

  2. Enter the TCP port number on which RCONPRXY will listen for RConsoleJ.

    The default is 2035.

    To enable listening over a dynamically assigned port, enter 0.

    When the NetWare server is running the RConsoleJ Proxy Agent, the RConsoleJ Client can communicate through it with the target NetWare server that uses only IPX to communicate.
