ProcedureHow to Start the Solaris Management Console in a Name Service Environment

After you have created a name service toolbox and added tools to it, you can start the Solaris Management Console and open that toolbox to manage a name service environment.

Before You Begin

Verify that the following prerequisites are met:

  • Ensure that the system you are logged in to is configured to work in a name service environment.

  • Verify that the /etc/nsswitch.conf file is configured to match your name service environment.

  1. Start the Solaris Management Console.

    For more information, see How to Start the Console as Superuser or as a Role.

  2. Select the toolbox you created for the name service, which appears in the Navigation pane.
