Rich,

Are you planning to have a Windows version of the management console?
It would be really convenient for admins who have a Windows box.

Thanks.

I don''t know if we will have an "officially supported
version" for
Windows, but you will be able to run it on Windows.  You can run it 
right now if you know the java class and arguments - it''s just a 
java/swing application.  The startconsole binary just sets up the 
environment, classpath, ld library path, etc. then invokes java.

Sam,
with only a little more hassle one can build or download the Win32 bits
of JSS, NSS and NSPR from mozilla.org and get SSL going too.  Those are
the only native parts of the Console besides the startconsole wrapper. 
That will allow your Console to connect to the Admin Server via https
and the Directory Server via ldaps.  It''ll also be less fussy when
creating ldaps replication agreements.

Launch the Console in debug mode with "startconsole -D" to see how to
invoke java to get the Console to run.

Thanks Rich and Uffe for your help.

It would be nice to have a HOWTO for that.
