Prerequisites |
Explanation |
|---|---|
|
ZENworks Server Management |
Policy and Distribution Services must be installed and running. For information on installing Policy and Distribution Services, see Section 6.1, Installation on NetWare and Windows Servers. |
|
Tomcat |
Tomcat 4 must be installed, with or without Apache. This provides the servlet gateway. |
|
ZENworks Web Server |
The Web server should be installed, configured correctly, and running. For information on installing the ZENworks Web Server, see Section 6.1.2, Web-Based Management for Policy and Distribution Services. |
|
Novell iManager |
iManager must be installed and running somewhere in the network. For information on installing iManager, see Section 4.3, Management-Specific Workstation Requirements for iManager installation instructions, and Section 6.1.2, Web-Based Management for Policy and Distribution Services for installing the ZENworks plug-ins to iManager. |
|
Certificate Authority Installed |
When installing the ZENworks plug-ins to iManager, you must select the option so that this signing authority is available to sign the security certificates during installation of the additional Inter-Server Communications Security. For information on installing the ZENworks plug-ins to iManager, see Section 6.1.2, Web-Based Management for Policy and Distribution Services. |
To sign a CSR, the requesting client must authenticate with a username and password. Because these are normally sent over the network in clear text, SSL should be used to keep this information secure.
