2.0 INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION INSTRUCTIONS
__________________________________________________________________
The following sections describe how to install and configure
Netscape Communicator. For information on CID installations, see
section 7.0 CID Installation Information.
Note to Netscape Navigator 2.02 for OS/2 Users:
To make it easier to distinguish between Netscape Communicator
and Netscape Navigator 2.02 for OS/2 files, install Netscape
Communicator in a different directory than Netscape Navigator
2.02 for OS/2.
2.1 Installing
------------------------------------------------------------------
After you download Netscape Communicator, follow these steps:
Note: To install Netscape Communicator as a client network
application in a WorkSpace On-Demand environment, see
section 2.2 Installing as a Client Network Application.
To install Netscape Communicator as an application on a
WorkSpace On-Demand server, use the following general
instructions.
1. From an OS/2 prompt, change to the directory where you
downloaded the comm404.exe file.
2. Type comm404 to run the executable file that unpacks the
files for installing Netscape Communicator.
3. To start the installation program, type:
INSTALL
4. Follow the online instructions.
o If you are installing on an OS/2 Warp 4 system, the first
question asks whether you want to convert the default
browser for your Desktop URL object to Netscape Navigator.
If you click Yes, the Netscape Navigator component of
Netscape Communicator is the default program to open
the URL objects on your Desktop.
Note: Any URL objects that are set to open with a specific
browser are not affected.
o The next question (or first question if you are not using
OS/2 Warp 4) asks whether you want to convert
the IBM WebExplorer QuickList entries to Netscape Navigator
Bookmark entries. If you answer Yes, a file named
WEBEXQL.HTM is created in the
x:\netscape\PROGRAM\LANG\language\DEFAULTS directory
where x:\netscape is the installation drive and directory for
Netscape Communicator, and language is the language of the
version installed. (For example, EN_US.) Whenever user profiles
are created, this file is copied into the new profile. You can
then use the Netscape Bookmarks window to import the migrated
bookmark entries and make them part of the default bookmark
file, or open the migrated bookmark entries (and therefore make
them the bookmark file).
o The last question asks whether you want to associate the
Netscape Navigator component of Netscape Communicator with HTML
files (files with an extension of .htm and .html and files of
type HTML and text/html). If you answer Yes, you can open an
HTML file by selecting Open As, and then Netscape Navigator
from the file object's pop-up menu. Using the right
mouse button, click the object to display the pop-up menu.
5. Restart your system.
The installation program creates a shadow of the Netscape
Communicator icon and a Netscape Communicator 4.04 folder on your
desktop. This folder includes the Communicator objects, this
README file, and an installation utility, which can be used to
delete, update, and reinstall Netscape Communicator.
Notes:
o The x:\OS2\DLL\PMDDEML.DLL system file (where x: is the
boot drive) is updated during installation if an older
version of the file exists.
o If you get a network or TCP error and you are using Netscape
Communicator behind a Firewall, you need to setup a socks server
or proxy gateway. See section 5.0 or the Communicator helps for
more instructions.
2.2 Installing as a Client Network Application
------------------------------------------------------------------
This installation can be done only by someone with System
Administrator authority.
ATTENTION: If a drive letter other than Z: is used for the
clients, modify the NS40COMM.PKG file. Search for Z: and replace
with the correct drive letter. Z: is specified as the drive letter
in approximately lines 1652, 1799, 1802, 1805, and 1808. Line
numbers might be different on some editors.
To install Netscape Communicator as a client network application
in a WorkSpace On-Demand environment:
1. Log on as a system administrator.
Note: If you are not logged on as a system administrator, the
installation fails and the following error message is
displayed or written to the log file:
EPFIE187: A product-specific installation error
occurred while executing the 'EXEC' exit routine. The
return code is 0x0002.
2. From an OS/2 prompt, change to the directory where you
downloaded the comm404.exe file.
3. Type comm404 to run the executable file that unpacks the
files for installing Netscape Communicator.
4. To start the installation program, type:
INSTNSWS
Note: All parameters that are valid for the INSTALL command
are valid for the INSTNSWS command.
5. Follow the online instructions.
The installation program creates a Netscape Communicator 4.04
- WorkSpace On-Demand folder on your desktop. This contains the
README file and an installation utility, which can be used to
delete, update, and reinstall Netscape Communicator.
Notes:
o If WorkSpace On-Demand was installed in a directory other
than x:\IBMLAN\RPL\BB10.cc (where x: is the drive and cc
is the country code), then type the correct installation
directory in place of the defaults on the main installation
window.
o To install Netscape Communicator as an application on a
WorkSpace On-Demand server, see section 2.1 Installation.
2.3 Configuring as a Client Network Application
------------------------------------------------------------------
This configuration can be done only by someone with System
Administrator authority.
To configure Netscape Communicator as a Client Network Application
on WorkSpace On-Demand, you must perform two tasks after
installing Netscape Communicator and before a client can use
Netscape Communicator:
1. Modify your default FIT file.
o If you are using WorkSpace On-Demand 2.0, the APPPOST.FIT
file is installed when you install Netscape Communicator.
WorkSpace On-Demand 2.0 uses this file for the Netscape
Communicator FIT file entries. If you make any changes to
the Netscape Communicator FIT file entries after
installation, modify the APPPOST.FIT file.
o If you are using WorkSpace On-Demand 1.0, add the following
entries to the default WorkSpace On-Demand FIT file
(x:\IBMLAN\DCDB\BB10ccDU.FIT, where cc is the country code
for the version of WorkSpace On-Demand that is installed):
Note: Each entry should be on only one line. The lines
are split here for printability.
?:\NSCPDIR
\\<DCSERVER>\IBMLAN$\DCDB\USERS\<USER>\COMM404
?:\OS2\NSCP.INI
\\<DCSERVER>\IBMLAN$\DCDB\USERS\<USER>\COMM404\NSCP.INI
?:\OS2\NSCP.###
\\<DCSERVER>\IBMLAN$\DCDB\USERS\<USER>\COMM404\NSCP.###
?:\OS2\NSCP.!!!
\\<DCSERVER>\IBMLAN$\DCDB\USERS\<USER>\COMM404\NSCP.!!!
?:\NETSCAPE\PROGRAM\NETSCAPE.INI
\\<DCSERVER>\IBMLAN$\DCDB\USERS\<USER>\COMM404\NETSCAPE.INI
?:\NETSCAPE\PROGRAM\NETSCAPE.###
\\<DCSERVER>\IBMLAN$\DCDB\USERS\<USER>\COMM404\NETSCAPE.###
?:\NETSCAPE\PROGRAM\NETSCAPE.!!!
\\<DCSERVER>\IBMLAN$\DCDB\USERS\<USER>\COMM404\NETSCAPE.!!!
?:\NETSCAPE\PROGRAM\DYNFONTS\FONTS.CAT
\\<DCSERVER>\IBMLAN$\DCDB\USERS\<USER>\COMM404\FONTS.CAT
?:\NETSCAPE\USERS
\\<DCSERVER>\IBMLAN$\DCDB\USERS\<USER>\COMM404\USERS
Note: The above FIT entry assumes that the default
directory (x:\NETSCAPE\USERS, where x: is the drive)
is the directory containing your preference files.
If a directory other than the default directory is
used, change this entry to match the actual directory
name.
If a different FIT file is being used for a particular user,
then that FIT file must be updated for the user to run
Netscape Communicator.
The above FIT entries assume that Netscape Communicator was
installed into the NETSCAPE subdirectory of the WorkSpace
On-Demand RPL directory (x:\IBMLAN\RPL\BB10.cc, where x: is
the drive and cc is the country code). If Netscape Communicator
was installed into a different directory, this directory name
needs to replace the NETSCAPE part of the FIT entries.
2. Copy the NSCP.INI file, created during the installation of
Netscape Communicator, to each defined client's workarea
based upon the specification in the FIT file. There are
two methods that can be used to accomplish this:
o Manually create the directory within the client's
workarea that will contain the NSCP.INI file, and then
copy the NSCP.INI file to this directory:
a. From an OS/2 command prompt, change to the
x:\IBMLAN\DCDB\USERS\user directory.
b. Type MD COMM404 to make a directory named COMM404
within the user's directory.
c. Copy the NSCP.INI file located in the Netscape
Communicator PROGRAM directory of the WorkSpace
On-Demand RPL directory, x:\IBMLAN\RPL\BB10.cc\
NETSCAPE\PROGRAM (where x: is the drive, cc is
the country code, and NETSCAPE is the directory
where Netscape Communicator is installed),
into the directory created in step b.
Note: The above steps need to be performed for each
user/client that uses Netscape Communicator.
o Update the public applications that were defined during
the installation to invoke the Netscape Communicator
Wrapper Utility (NSWS.EXE):
a. Open the "settings" for the public application
definition.
b. Click on the "Invocation" tab.
c. Change the command from NETSCAPE.EXE to NSWS.EXE
Note: If you are experiencing difficulties with this
utility, you can create and view a log file by
adding >file.log, where file.log is the name of
the log file, to the end of the NSWS.EXE command.
After the utility has executed, type e file.log,
where file.log is the name of the log file, to view
the log file.
d. Close the "settings" notebook.
Note: The above steps need to be performed for each
public application definition associated with
Netscape Communicator.
2.4 Netscape Communicator Wrapper Utility for WorkSpace On-Demand
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Netscape Communicator Wrapper Utility makes the manual
operation of copying the NSCP.INI file into each client's
workarea easier. It reads an input file that contains
specifications on the files to be copied and the directories to be
created, and then executes the commands specified.
The input file's name and location are created from the
executable's name and location by replacing the executable's file
extension with "DSF." So, if the utility is named NSWS.EXE and,
the client locates the file in the Z:\NETSCAPE\PROGRAM directory,
then the input file used is Z:\NETSCAPE\PROGRAM\NSWS.DSF.
The input file consists of keywords and keyword values that
describe the steps needed to copy the files for the application.
The input file has a line limit of 256 bytes and supports the
following keywords:
EXE = {program}
where {program} is the program to be executed (via
DosExecPgm). Do not specify the EXE keyword more than
once. The value of the last occurrence is used.
FILE = {target file} {source file}
where {target file} is the file that needs to be created
and {source file} is the "template" file to be copied
DIR = {target dir}
where {target dir} is the directory that needs to be
created in order for the file to be copied successfully
You need a DIR entry for every subdirectory under the
<USER> specification in the file's FIT entry.
For example, if the FIT entry is
?:\OS2\NSCP.INI
\\<DCSERVER>\IBMLAN$\DCDB\USERS\<USER>\BROWSERS\COMM404\NSCP.INI
You would need the following DIR entries after the
FILE = \OS2\NSCP.INI NSCP.INI entry:
DIR = NSCPDIR1
DIR = NSCPDIR2
You also need corresponding entries in the FIT file to create these
directories. Using the above example, the corresponding FIT entries
would be:
?:\NSCPDIR1
\\<DCSERVER>\IBMLAN$\DCDB\USERS\<USER>\BROWSERS
?:\NSCPDIR2
\\<DCSERVER>\IBMLAN$\DCDB\USERS\<USER>\BROWSERS\COMM404
Netscape Communicator requires that the NSCP.INI file exist in the
x:\OS2 directory (where x: is the boot drive). Since this file is
written to as well as read from, each client is required to have one.
The FIT entry information supplied in this README defines the file
indirection into the client's workarea. The Netscape Communicator
Wrapper Utility input file supplied is defined based upon the FIT
entries defined in this README and requires no modification of these
FIT entries.

o Some LiveConnect applications might not function.
o See section 6.6 Performance for information on the default
Initial Java Heap size.
6.4 Security
------------------------------------------------------------------
Netscape Communicator uses the Netscape Security model, instead of
the Java Security model used in Netscape Navigator 2.02 for OS/2.
The following limitations occur as a result of this difference.
o Netscape Communicator cannot load applets signed with the
Netscape Signing Tool (SignTool) when these JAR files reside
in the CLASSPATH. If you attempt to load one of these applets,
following error message appears on the Java console:
java.io.IOException: bad zip file format
JAR files signed with SignTool that are loaded through the URL
or from a local hard drive directory that is not in the
CLASSPATH can be successfully loaded.
o Netscape Communicator can load applets signed with Sun's
Javakey signing tool. However, if these applets use the
Netscape security APIs (for example,
enablePrivilege/revertPrivilege), the following error message
appears on the JavaConsole when you attempt to load the
applet:
ForbiddenTargetException: User didn't grant the xxxxxxxx
privilege.
To resolve this problem, have the originator of the JAR
file sign the JAR file using Netscape's SignTool.
o Applets and JAR files requiring special privileges to
system resources (for example, file system access or
additional network access) must use the Netscape security
model.
o When signed applets are loaded from the network, the
classes must be signed using the Netscape SignTool and
you are prompted to grant permission.
o When signed applets and JAR files are in the CLASSPATH,
you are not prompted to grant permission. Permission is
automatically granted whether the applet or JAR file is
signed or unsigned.
o If an applet needs to download files onto your local drive,
you are prompted to grant permission. Be very careful when
allowing an applet even limited access your file system
even if it is a signed applet, unless you fully trust
the signer. If you allow these files to be downloaded or
otherwise placed in the Java CLASSPATH, these applets might
gain full access to resources on the machine, including full
access to your file system.
o The UniversalMemberAccess privilege cannot be granted or
enabled.
6.5 Mail & News
------------------------------------------------------------------
o Switching between IMAP and POP mail servers requires
Communicator to be restarted to take effect.
6.6 Performance
------------------------------------------------------------------
o The help might take a long time to display. Avoid opening more
than one session of help for better performance.
o If you don't specify an Initial Java Heap (IJH) size, Netscape
Communicator lets Java set the default. Java does not take into
account the size of Netscape Communicator when it calculates
the default IJH size. The default is determined by how
much memory the machine has. Java sets a default IJH size when
Netscape Communicator runs an applet. The default memory is
reserved by Java until Netscape Communicator is closed.
You need to set the Intial Java Heap size as follows:
1. Click Edit --> Preferences --> OS/2 Preferences to display
the OS/2 Preferences window.
2. Click IBM Java Properties.
3. In the Java Options box, type -ms<number><m or k> where number
depends on the following, and m stands for megabytes and k for
kilobytes:
- If you have 32MB or less of system memory, set the IJH
size to 4MB (-ms4m).
- If you have 64MB of system memory, set the IJH size to
8MB (-ms8m).
- If you have 80MB or more of system memory, let the
IJH size default.
6.7 Voice Navigation
------------------------------------------------------------------
o Voice navigation can be used to select from menus such as
following a link on the Links menu. It cannot be used to
select list boxes or push buttons on a page.
o Java applets do not support voice navigation.
o VoiceType cannot detect the contents of dynamically created
menus, such as Bookmarks. To move to the next item, say "Up"
or "Down," rather than saying the name of the item.
6.8 Feature Install and Netscape Navigator 2.02 for OS/2
------------------------------------------------------------------
o If you are going to install any package from Software Choice
that uses Feature Install, be sure you have version 1.2.3
or higher of Feature Install from the Software Choice Web
site at:
http://service.boulder.ibm.com/asd-bin/doc/
6.9 DBCS Information
------------------------------------------------------------------
o If you are using the English version of Netscape Communicator

7.0 CID INSTALLATION INFORMATION
__________________________________________________________________
CID installation is accomplished by using response files to install
Netscape Communicator in a CID environment.
A response file is a flat ASCII file that consists of a series of
lines separated by newline sequences (0x0A, 0x0D, or a combination
of these two sequences).
Each line in a response file has a maximum line length of 255
bytes.
A response file has two kinds of lines:
o Comment lines contain only white space characters or have
either an asterisk (*) or a semicolon (;) as the first nonwhite
space character on the line.
o Response lines are used by Software Installer to determine
the options and configurations to install on the target
system.
Response lines have the following syntax:
keyword = value
o Keywords cannot contain imbedded spaces.
o Keywords are not case-sensitive.
You can group keywords together in value lists using the following
syntax:
keyword = (
keyword1 = value
keyword2 = value
.
.
keywordn = value
)
Keyword-value pairs used in a response file can be in any order.
However, only one pair is allowed per line.
If you use any keyword names other than the supported keywords,
they are treated as installation variables. For example,
MONITOR = VGA creates a installation variable with the name of
MONITOR and a value of VGA.
Note: Do not use quotes around the component name, even when the
name is more than one word with blanks between words.
7.1 Sample Installation Response Files
------------------------------------------------------------------
The following command is an example of the command needed to start
a response file installation of Netscape Communicator:
INSTALL /X /A:I /NMSG /O:DRIVE /R:responsefile /L2:outputfile
The following is an example of a response file used to install
the US English version Netscape Communicator 4.04 for
OS/2 Warp in the C:\NETSCAPE directory:
COMP = Netscape Communicator 4.04 for OS/2
FILE = C:\NETSCAPE
CFGUPDATE = AUTO
DELETEBACKUP = NO
OVERWRITE = YES
SAVEBACKUP = NO
NSCONVERTBROWSER = YES
NSCONVERTQL = YES
NSASSOCIATEHTML = YES
The following is an example of a response file used to install
the US English version of Netscape Communicator 4.04 for OS/2 Warp
in a WorkSpace On-Demand environment residing on the C drive:
COMP = Netscape Communicator 4.04 for OS/2
FILE = C:\IBMLAN\RPL\BB10.US\NETSCAPE
AUX1 = C:\IBMLAN\RPL\BB10.US
CFGUPDATE = AUTO
DELETEBACKUP = NO
OVERWRITE = YES
SAVEBACKUP = NO
7.2 Communicator keywords
------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: The following keywords are not used when installing Netscape
Communicator on a WorkSpace On-Demand client.
The following response file keywords are available to allow you to
install Netscape Communicator in a CID environment. The possible
values for each keyword are YES (perform the operation) or NO (do
not perform the operation):
NSCONVERTBROWSER (required)
Changes the browser settings so that the Netscape Navigator
component of Netscape Communicator is set as the default browser
for all URL objects (OS/2 Warp 4 only).
NSCONVERTQL (required)
Converts the WebExplorer QuickList to Netscape Communicator
bookmarks.
NSASSOCIATEHTML (required)
Associates the Netscape Navigator component of Netscape Communicator
with HTML files (files with an extension of .htm and .html and
files of type HTML and text/html). You can then open an HTML file
within the Netscape Navigator component of Netscape Communicator
by selecting Open As then Netscape Navigator from the file
object's pop-up menu. Right-click the object to display the
pop-up menu.
Notes:
o If, in the response file, you specify the drive and
directory of an existing Netscape Communicator or Navigator
installation (including an installation for another operating
system), the existing installation is overwritten.
o The value given in the COMP keyword in the response file
must exactly match the string specified by the NAME
keyword of the COMPONENT entry (see about line 397 in the
NS40COMM.PKG file).
o For more information on the install.exe command line
parameters, enter VIEW EPFIHELP in either the installation
or the target directory.
7.3 Software Installer keywords
------------------------------------------------------------------
Software Installer supports the following keywords:
AUXn (conditionally required)
Specifies the new default path for the auxiliary directory,
where n is any number between 1 and 18. (There are 18
possible auxiliary directories: AUX1, AUX2,...AUX18.) This
keyword is used only for installation processing.
This AUXn value is used in place of the AUXn keyword of the PATH
entry of the package file. This keyword is required if you have
specified an AUXn keyword in the PATH entry.
CFGUPDATE (required)
Specifies whether the CONFIG.SYS file is automatically updated.
Valid values for this keyword are:
AUTO Automatically updates CONFIG.SYS
MANUAL Does not update CONFIG.SYS
COMP
Specifies the unique name of a component of the product for which
passed information applies. There can be a maximum of 100
components. The COMP value must match the NAME keyword of the
COMPONENT entry in the package file.
Note: Do not use quotation marks around the component name, even
when the name is more than one word with blanks between words.
COPY
Specifies the source and target files for a copy process. The
format of this keyword is:
COPY = source_filespec target_filespec
If the target_filespec already exists, it is overwritten. If
either file specification is not valid, the copy is not made.
DELETEBACKUP (required)
Specifies whether to delete only the backup versions of the
product or to delete the entire product. Valid values for this
keyword are YES and NO. It is required because an existing
dialog requests this information in the attended mode.
If an unattended deletion is attempted and the DELETEBACKUP is not
present in the response file, the deletion fails with an
EPFIE212 error.
FILE (conditionally required)
Provides the new default path for the file directory. This
keyword is used only for installation processing.
This FILE value is used in place of the FILE keyword of the PATH
entry in the package file. This keyword is required if you have
specified a FILE keyword in the PATH entry.
INCLUDE
Specifies which general response files to include with a
specific response file. The format of this keyword is:
INCLUDE = filespec
Where filespec is the general response file to be included. If
the file specification contains any global characters (* or ?),
the first file found that matches the specification is included.
If the specification is not valid, no general response file is
included.
Note: You cannot have more than five levels of included
response files.
The following search order is used to find the general response
files specified.
1. The fully qualified file specification, if specified with
filespec.
2. The current directory.
3. The file name together with the /G: invocation parameter.
4. Each directory in the PATH environment variable.
5. Each directory in the DPATH environment variable.
OVERWRITE (required)
Specifies whether to automatically overwrite files during
installation. Valid values for this keyword are YES and NO.
This keyword is required for unattended processing.
SAVEBACKUP (required)
Specifies whether to save a backup version of the product when
it is updated. Valid values for this keyword are YES and NO. It
is required for unattended processing because an existing dialog
requests this information in the attended mode.
USEREXIT
Specifies the name of an exit that you want started. The format
of this keyword is:
USEREXIT = filespec
Where filespec is the name of a user exit. If the file
specification contains any global characters (* or ?), the first
executable file found that matches the specification is started.
If the specification is not valid, Software Installer displays an
error message.
The following search order is used to find the specified user
exit.
1. The fully qualified file specification, if specified with
filespec.
2. The current directory.
3. Each directory in the PATH environment variable.
4. Each directory in the DPATH environment variable.
If the exit does not already exist on the system, you must pack
the exit in the INSTALL.IN_ file.
WORK (conditionally required)
Provides the new default path for the data directory.
This WORK value is used in place of the WORK keyword of the PATH
entry in the package file. This keyword is required if you have
specified a WORK keyword in the PATH entry.
