2.5 Kanaka Desktop Client

The Kanaka Desktop Client is the sensible connectivity option for users who require access to network storage resources, but are not required to authenticate to eDirectory each time they log in to a Mac. Users who already have local accounts, for example, might prefer this option because it does not require a process to convert their local account to a network account, which is required with the Kanaka Plug-in.

Additionally, the Kanaka Desktop Client is ideal for Mac users who are on the go and often connect to the organization’s network via VPN. Novell Kanaka for Mac allows you to first log in to your organization’s VPN and then use the Kanaka Desktop Client to access your network storage.
