This is how you configure Netscape Communicator (doesn't
work with Navigator, because that does not have Roaming support!) to put
your bookmarks, cookies, history, mail filters and address book etc into
the database that are in use at Bayour.com. The good thing about this is
that you have access to your bookmarks, address book etc where ever
you are in the world (work, home, school etc).
Open up the preference window (from the menu Edit->Preferences)
In the main Roaming Access entry, choose Enable
Roaming Access for this profile. Enter your User Name you have
been given. I recomend NOT to save the password, for security reasons!!!
Then under Server Information you should choose LDAP
Directory Server, and enter this for the Address, and User
DN respective:
Under Item Selection you just choose the items you
would like to store in the database. The recomended is to have atleast
your bookmarks and your address book...
Now, unfortunatly there is a bug in Netscape (atleast the
versions I've tried) that makes Roaming a little more hazzle than it should
be. When you close netscape, start it up again, and then close it again
(puh!) it should upload everything you specified.
You can now try that Roaming works.
Close all Netscape windows
This is the third time you have done this, since you
started to add Roaming support. You have been keeping score right? :)
Remove the bookmark and address book files
Files that end with .htm and .na2 in the directory where
the user profiles are installed.
Start netscape again. It should now request the bookmark
from the server.
What should you do on a 'fresh' (ie, other computer) to get
this to work?
Basicly nothing exept configure Roaming as described
above. If you don't have a profile on that computer, just add one, and
configure Roaming.
If you DO have a profile already, you might have
to remove the addressbook from that profile, since they will conflict.
Just move the bookmars out of the way, and then manually merge them togheter...
It's a hastle, but not much you can do about that...
Where are things installed?
On a Windows machine, the user profiles are usually in
C:\Program Files\Netscape\Users\<insert your profile name here>.
On a UNIX platform it's in your home directory (~/.netscape/).
