3.2 Administrator Workstation Prerequisites

Changing the default configuration settings and managing Novell Native File Access services can be done using either iManager or ConsoleOne. iManager requires that you use a supported browser. See Browsers in the Novell iManager 2.7 Installation Guide.

The iManager plug-in might not operate properly if the highest priority Language setting for your Web browser is set to a language other than one of the supported languages. To avoid problems, in your Web browser, click Tools > Options > Languages, and then set the first language preference in the list to a supported language.

The following table provides compatibility information between the source and target protocols needed to use iManager in a heterogeneous environment. A protocol annotated with an asterisk is the default and is configured automatically. Where available, CIFS must be configured before you can use it; additional CIFS setup requirements are noted, if required.
