Computer system requirements
There are two sides to the IntraNetics environment--the user side and the server side. In this document, we refer to the server side as the host computer. The host computer holds and processes all of the business information for IntraNetics 2.0. The user side of IntraNetics consists simply of any web browser that can access the host computer. The web browser allows the user to see, and if authorized, add and change, business information on the host computer.

Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS)
Define users and give them Log on Locally rights (IIS 3.0 & IIS 4.0)
Before the IntraNetics 2.0 Evaluator's Kit can recognize the IntraNetics 2.0 Evaluator's Kit administrator name you entered during installation, you must define a web server user for the administrator and define access control on the web server.
Microsoft Internet Information Server's security scheme is fully integrated with the Windows NT Server security scheme. When a user logs in to the IntraNetics 2.0 Evaluator's Kit, IIS checks for the user name in NT's User Manager.
To add users to NT's User Manager
-
Log in as the NT administrator.
-
Select
Start -> Programs -> Administrative Tools -> User Manager for Domains.
-
In the User Manager dialog box, select
User -> New User.
-
In the New User dialog box, enter the appropriate information. The user name and password you enter here are the ones checked by the IIS web server when a user logs in to the IntraNetics 2.0 Evaluator's Kit.
-
Select the password options required at your company and click
Add
to add the user.
To use the IntraNetics 2.0 Evaluator's Kit, it is not necessary for users to be in any group other than the default
Users
group, and it is not necessary to select any of the buttons (Groups,
Profiles,
Dialin) at the bottom of the
New User
dialog box. Each user must have
Log on Locally
right (see
Give users Log on Locally rights (IIS 3.0 & IIS 4.0).)
-
Close the
New User
dialog box after adding new users. (Before allowing users to log in to the IntraNetics 2.0 Evaluator's Kit, you'll need to define the users to the IntraNetics 2.0 Evaluator's Kit by following the steps in
Get started with the IntraNetics 2.0 Evaluator's Kit.)
-
Continue to the next section to give these users Log on Locally rights.
Give users Log on Locally rights (IIS 3.0 & IIS 4.0)
All users must have the Windows NT
Log on Locally
right. Your system may already be set for this. If you are using NT, users are probably automatically created in the Users Group, which has Log on Locally rights. By default SBS is not set this way.
-
In the User Manager, select
Policies -> User Rights.
-
Select
Right -> Log on Locally
then click
Add.
-
Select the host computer name in the
List Names From
drop down list.
-
Select the group to which your users belong and click
Add.
For example, in NT 4.0, by default they usually belong to the
Users
group. In SBS, by default they usually belong to the
Domain Users
group.
-
Click
OK
to close the Add Users and Groups dialog box then click
OK
to close the User Rights Policy dialog box.
-
Close the User Manager dialog box.
Set password authentication in IIS 3.0-Basic (Clear Text)
You use the web server's security to prevent unauthorized users from accessing the IntraNetics 2.0 Evaluator's Kit. When users attempt to access the IntraNetics 2.0 Evaluator's Kit, they are prompted for a user name and password. To set password authentication, perform the following steps.
Note:
You must perform these steps if you are using IIS 3.0, even if Setup configured IIS for you.
-
To make sure that Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) is started, in the host computer's Control Panel click
Services. If
World Wide Web Publishing Service
isn't started as
Automatic, double-click it and change start up type to
Automatic. Select
World Wide Web Publishing Service
and click
Start. Close
Services.
Note:
The Gopher and FTP services are not required by the IntraNetics 2.0 Evaluator's Kit.
-
Select
Start -> Programs -> Microsoft Internet Server (Common) -> Internet Service Manager
to open the Internet Service Manager. Double click on the computer running the
WWW
service to open the WWW Service Properties sheet.
-
On the
Service
tab, de-select
Allow Anonymous, de-select
Windows NT Challenge/Response, and select
Basic
(Clear Text).
By de-selecting Allow Anonymous and selecting Basic (Clear Text), you ensure that all users are prompted for user ID and password when accessing the IntraNetics 2.0 Evaluator's Kit using any web browser. The user ID and password must be recognized as valid by IIS.
-
If you get a dialog box about encryption, click
Yes.
-
Click
OK
to close the
WWW Service Properties
sheet because you are done configuring IIS.
Netscape Enterprise Server
The steps for configuring Netscape Enterprise Server are:
Configuration tips
-
The Server Name must be the full DNS name of the server, such as
www.intranetics.com. You can also use a DNS alias. When using the DNS Name or alias, make sure the name you enter matches the name in the DNS server for your site. Do not use the WINS network name for your computer, unless it is also a DNS alias for the server. If the server does not have a DNS name, you should enter the IP address of the server in the Server Name field.
-
Make sure the services are set to start automatically. To do so, close the web browser. Look for the
Services
icon in the host computer's Control Panel. Double-click
Services. Scroll down the list of services until you see
Netscape Admin Server
and
Netscape Enterprise Server. Make sure that the status of these two services is started and they are set to start up automatically when you log on to Windows NT Server. If you double-click on each item, you'll see you can change the status and the startup parameters.
Define users and set access control for the IntraNetics 2.0 Evaluator's Kit
Before the IntraNetics 2.0 Evaluator's Kit can recognize the IntraNetics 2.0 Evaluator's Kit administrator name you entered during installation, you must define a web server user for the administrator and define access control on the web server.
Because all security checking is done by the web server, you need to let the web server know the IntraNetics users' names and passwords before allowing them into the IntraNetics 2.0 Evaluator's Kit. You must at least define the user account for the administrator using the name you entered when installing the IntraNetics 2.0 Evaluator's Kit.
Define users to the web server
-
In the host computer's Control Panel, click on the
Services
icon to make sure that both Netscape Administration Server and Netscape Enterprise Server are started.
-
To start Netscape Enterprise Server in the default web browser, select
Start -> Programs -> Netscape SuiteSpot -> Administration.
-
When prompted, enter your
User Name
and
Password
to access the Netscape Server. (Use the web server user name and password you used when you installed the Netscape Server.) Click
OK
to open the Netscape Server.
-
Under the title
General Administration, select
Users & Groups
to display the
New User
window.
-
Enter the surname, full name, user ID, and password of the new user. The user ID and password you enter here are the ones checked when a user logs in to the IntraNetics 2.0 Evaluator's Kit.
-
Click
Create User
to save the information.
-
Enter the next user.
Note:
Be sure to enter the the IntraNetics 2.0 Evaluator's Kit administrator user you defined when installing the IntraNetics 2.0 Evaluator's Kit.
-
After entering all users, perform the tasks in
Restricting user access to the IntraNetics 2.0 Evaluator's Kit
so users will be prompted for a user name and password when they access the IntraNetics 2.0 Evaluator's Kit. (Note: Before users can access the IntraNetics 2.0 Evaluator's Kit from their web browsers, you'll need to enter the users' names in the IntraNetics 2.0 Evaluator's Kit User application.)
Restricting user access to the IntraNetics 2.0 Evaluator's Kit
The IntraNetics 2.0 Evaluator's Kit users must be authenticated (with a user name and password) before they can access it from their web browsers. By requiring user authentication, you prevent users from accessing the IntraNetics 2.0 Evaluator's Kit anonymously.
Use these instructions to restrict access and therefore require user authentication using Netscape Enterprise Server.
-
In Netscape Enterprise Server, click
Server Administration
to move to server-specific tasks.
-
Under the title Netscape Enterprise Server, click the host computer name. If you do not have a registered DNS name, the IP address appears under the title Netscape Enterprise Server.

When you launch the IntraNetics 2.0 Evaluator's Kit, your browser displays the Welcome page, and the NavBar appears in the left-most frame. The NavBar is the navigational tool you use to select applications and links in IntraNetics 2.0. The IntraNetics 2.0 Evaluator's Kit contains a sample database for Urban Motors, a fictitious manufacturer of electric cars. During the evaluation period, you can use this sample data, input your own company's data, or toggle back and forth between the two data sets.
Switch between your company's data and the sample data
To begin inputting your company's data in the IntraNetics 2.0 Evaluator's Kit, you need to switch from the sample database to a new database. Any data you input into your new database in the IntraNetics 2.0 Evaluator's Kit can be converted to work with the unlimited IntraNetics 2.0 product. (This function to switch databases is not part of the full IntraNetics 2.0 product.)
Note:
When you switch data sets, you'll need to shut down the server, and then you will see the other data throughout all applications. Notify your users to log off before you switch data sets.
-
In the IntraNetics 2.0 Evaluator's Kit, choose the
Admin
tab in the NavBar, and then select the
General
application.

Yes.

When you see the message that says IntraNetics has been shut down, access any application to restart the server with the other data set. We recommend that you begin by creating the IntraNetics administrator account.
