Web-Based Installation of Native Plug-In on Mozilla Firefox

The arcotplugin.xpi file contains the ArcotID PKI native client. This file must be stored on a Web server or application server. Place the arcotplugin.xpi file in a directory anywhere on the Web server or application server. The URL of this directory must be added as the clientBaseURL attribute in the JavaScript that instantiates the client on the Web page.

When the user browses to the application pages, the arcotiplugin.xpi is automatically downloaded by the browser and opened for installation on the user machine.

3. Click Install Now in the Software Installation dialog.
