password prompts on Forward/Back
===============================
I have several active vncservers running under Solaris8.
Each has its own local .vnc information for passwd/logs under ~/v[1..9] directories.
Using Back and Forward on ie 5.5 on my PC, I recall this seemed to switch between
sessions OK when I started them yesterday.
Today, that ability seems to have gone away and password needs to be
set every time I change browse depth.
Did I just imagine the no password-prompt behaviour ?
Clearly I will have to stick to separate browser instances :-{
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
secondly, and more interestingly, I just tried downloading/install ie5 for
Solaris8-sparc
system z1 has all vnc set up and working and running 4 vncservers (OK when viewed on
PC with HTTP)
system z2 has identical OS set-up to z1 netscape 4.7 was default browser
{I just set up vnc in all the recommended places on z2 to match z1 and it's probably
OK and that's irrelevant}
...however, on system z2 I just installed ie5 for solaris-sparc
netscape 4.7 from z2 picks up z1:5803 and does the VNC password prompt so that looks
good
ie5 from z2 FINDS z1:5803 OK but throws an "Error Locating Object Handler" fit
and suggests I download a viewer from java.sun.com/products/plugin.
[I did download j2rel_3_1_01 and installed it under root for want of anywhere else]
Presumably the problem is something to do with associating vncview.class/jar with an
app helper
on system z2 (please correct any inaccurate terminology there for me).
If I've understood vncviewer.jar correctly, this is HTTP-fetched from system z1 and
that
part is probably OK.
The bottom line is:
how come (untrained) Netscape knows how to handle this but untrained ie5 doesn't.
What's the fix please?
