Setting Up RConsoleJ

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 for the unsecure session.

   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 TCP port number for the secure session.

   The default is 2036.

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

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

5. Enter the SPX^TM 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.

Running the RConsoleJ Client

On a Workstation

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

• From a Windows* 95/ 98 or Windows NT* workstation, ensure you have a drive mapped to the root of volume SYS: on the NetWare 6 server. From the Windows desktop menu, click Start > Run, browse to \PUBLIC\MGMT\CONSOLEONE\1.2, and run RCONJ.EXE.
• In ConsoleOne^TM, right-click the NetWare server object that you want to remotely control and click Remote Console, or click the NetWare server object and then from the Tools option click Remote Console.

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 remotely control and click Remote Console, or click the NetWare server object and then from the Tools option click Remote Console.
• 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.

   Once 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.
