Configuring General Settings

To configure iChat General settings:
1Open Server Admin and connect to the server.
2Click the triangle to the left of the server. The list of services appears.
3From the expanded Servers list, select iChat.
4Click Settings, then click General.
5Click the Add (+) button to add host domains.
The Host Domains list designates the domain names you want iChat to support. Initially, the server host name is shown. You can add or remove other names that resolve to the iChat service IP address such as aliases defined in DNS. When starting iChat you must specify a DNS for the service.
Host domains are used to construct Jabber IDs, which identify iChat users. An example of a Jabber ID is nancy@example1.apple.com.

To create or add certificates, choose Manage Certificates from the SSL Certificate pop- up menu.
