Java plugin is 1.4.2_08 on solaris.

In the help on line I have seen that for windows we need to define CMSSH variable but for solaris it doesn't talk about this variable.

How can I define this variable on solaris box ?

Launch JPI_HOME/bin/ControlPanel, and set the CMSSH variable in the advanced tab just as you would on Windows.

We have defined CMSSH variable and click on apply. If we launch ControlPanel, modification is not made. We are using root account.

I don't follow. Exactly what did you do, and what results did you get?

Customer has defined the parameter in the controlPanel like you have described.

But, it doesn't work anyway.

So the customer has launched an other time the controlPanel and he saw that the modification made was not effective.

He has tried to modify the parameter an other time but it is always no effective.

He was root when he has defined the parameter in the controlPanel.

I'm so use to dealing with Windows clients, I forget that Solaris is completely different. Sorry, you don't need to set CMSSH at all if you're using a Solaris client. For Solaris, Campus will launch the following command to establish an SSH connection to the device:

xterm -e ssh USERNAME@DEVICE

So, make sure the Solaris client has both xterm and ssh in the PATH of the user which is running Firefox.

No change, customer has same issue.

But from a command window he can launch xterm -e ssh USERNAME@DEVICE

When you wrote :

Solaris client has both xterm and ssh in the PATH of the user which is running Firefox.

you mean that PATH must contain for example for ssh /usr/local/bin or /usr/local/bin/ssh ?

On my Solaris 10 system, ssh is in /bin and xterm is in /usr/openwin/bin. So my PATH must contain:

/bin:/usr/openwin/bin

You should also check the Java Plug-in console for errors after trying to launch SSH.

You will find the PATH, which is very long.

which ssh -> /usr/local/bin/ssh.

/usr/local/bin is present in PATH.

What about the Java plug-in console?

No error to java console, I will open a SR.

In fact, a variable was missing in deployment.properties file:

javaplugin.jre.params=-DCMSSH\=/usr/local/bin/ssh

Now it works !
