PSNext is a multi-tier client-server system. The PSNext server software requires the use of an application server and a database server.
PSNext's installation program and Configuration Utility make
installing PSNext a straightforward process. After installing
the PSNext files, the application server's administration utility
is used to deploy PSNext.
The PSNext Configuration Utility is then used to create PSNext
domains based on connection parameters that you have entered
for your database.
There are frequent changes and additions to the set of specific
versions of operating systems, application servers, database
servers, and JDBC drivers for which PSNext has been tested
and certified.
Please contact Sciforma for the latest information
in this area.
PSNext installation on clients is fully automatic. Users open their web browsers and enter the URL that points to the PSNext installation on your server. PSNext will then verify that the client has the necessary Java runtime environment installed. If not, PSNext will download and install the correct Java runtime environment on the client machine.
The PSNext client can be run in either a web browser or as a standalone application using the Java Web Start environment. Communication between client and server is performed using either HTTP or HTTPS (SSL) protocols.
User authentication is supported by the application server, which will typically be configured to use the same authentication system used for network logins. For example, application servers typically interface with LDAP-capable authentication systems, such as Microsoft Active Directory.
