6.7.3 Customizing the Plug-In Download Location<br />
You can create a plug‐in download repository if a proxy server or firewall prevents <strong>iManager</strong> 2.7<br />
from contacting the <strong>Novell</strong> download Web site. This lets you host plug‐in modules on a local Web<br />
server or a common file system location.<br />
The best way to do this is to use the XML descriptor file from the <strong>Novell</strong> download Web site (http://<br />
www.novell.com/products/consoles/imanager/iman_mod_desc.xml) as a template. For more<br />
information about the <strong>iManager</strong> descriptor file, see “Downloading and Installing Plug‐Ins During<br />
Installation” in the <strong>Novell</strong> <strong>iManager</strong> <strong>2.7.5</strong> Installation <strong>Guide</strong>.<br />
To set up a local plug‐in repository, save the descriptor file locally, then open the file and copy the<br />
URL for each plug‐in module you want to make available locally and paste it in a Web browser<br />
address bar to download the file. After downloading all desired plug‐in modules, edit the local copy<br />
of the descriptor file to reflect the new URL for each downloaded plug‐in module.<br />
A plug‐in module URL can be an HTTP link or a file system location. For example:<br />
Windows File System<br />
<br />
Linux File System<br />
<br />
HTTP Link<br />
<br />
Specifying a Local Descriptor File<br />
You can specify a custom descriptor file either during the <strong>iManager</strong> 2.7 installation, or after <strong>iManager</strong><br />
2.7 has been installed.<br />
During the installation process, the <strong>iManager</strong> 2.7 plug‐in download URL can be redirected to a<br />
custom descriptor file. To do this, simply change the URL on the Select Plug‐ins to Download and<br />
Install page to the location of the custom descriptor file and click Go.<br />
NOTE: If the message No plug-ins found or server not available appears in the Plug‐in<br />
download area, one or both of the following conditions can exist: There are no updated plug‐ins<br />
available on the <strong>Novell</strong> download site, or the connection to download. novell.com from the install<br />
program was not successful. Verify your Internet connection.<br />
When <strong>iManager</strong> 2.7 is installed, you can change the plug‐in module download URL by modifying<br />
\webapps\nps\WEB-INF\config.xml. For example:<br />
Windows File System<br />
<br />
<br />
