C.2 Browser Setup
The configuration requirements for the web interface are described here:
- Configure your browser to bypass your proxy server when you connect to the Director on any system.
- Internet Explorer — The "Use HTTP 1.1" option must be enabled for the web interface to function properly.
- To enable the option, select Internet Options from the Tools menu. From the Options window, select the Advanced tab and make sure the check box next to "Use HTTP 1.1" is selected.
- Internet Explorer—The "Check for newer versions of stored pages" option should be set to "Every visit to the page".
- To change the setting, select Internet Options from the Tools menu. On the General tab, Click the "Settings..." button under "Temporary Internet files". Select "Every visit to the page" and Click OK.
- All Browsers—Java must be enabled for the web interface to function properly. To verify that Java is enabled, use the procedure for your browser:
- Internet Explorer — On a Windows XP system with IE 6.0 I, go to Tools -> Sun Java Console and you should get the following output:
Java Plug-in 1.5.0_07 Using JRE version 1.5.0_07 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM User home directory = C:\Documents and Settings\MYNAME
- Be aware that some versions of Windows XP do not include Java. If this is the case on your system, follow the instructions for installing the Sun JRE in Section C.1. (Microsoft no longer supports downloading the Microsoft VM.)
- Netscape — select Preferences from the Edit menu. Click on the Advanced entry and make sure that the check box next to Java is selected.
