6.3.1 Configuring the Kanaka Plug-In

  1. Launch the Directory Utility.

  2. Click Enable.

  3. Double-click the Kanaka row.

  4. Specify the IP addresses of the Kanaka Engine servers.

    Novell Kanaka for Mac does not support clusters, but you can install two engines with identical configurations and then add both servers to the Mac’s Directory Utility. The Mac tries to connect to the servers in order. If the first one is down, it connects to the next one.

  5. Select SSL Port 3089.

    You can enter as many servers running Novell Kanaka for Mac as you want.

  6. Click OK.

  7. Click Apply.

    The Kanaka Plug-in is now configured and ready for use.
