Managing iChat

In this section you learn about day-to-day tasks you might perform after you set up 
iChat on your server. Initial setup information appears in “Setting up iChat”  on page 19.

You can control who can use iChat using Open Directory authentication and iChat 
service access settings. Keep in mind the following:

 Only a user or group defined in the Open Directory search path can use iChat. You 

can permit or restrict access to iChat by adding or removing users and groups to an 
Open Directory search path.

For more information about Open Directory and how to use Workgroup Manager to 
add users to the Open Directory, see Open Directory Administration and User 
Management.

 SACLs enable you to specify who has access to iChat. This provides you with greater 

control over who can use the service and the administrators who have access to 
monitor and manage the service. iChat requires that authenticated users belong to 
the iChat SACL.

For information about setting iChat service access for users and groups, see “Setting 
SACL Permissions for Users and Groups”  on page 22.

For information about setting iChat service access for administrators, see “Setting 
SACL Permissions for Administrators”  on page 23.

 Users created in Workgroup Manager must be added to the iChat SACL (using Server 

Admin), before they can log into iChat.

Use Server Admin to set SACL permissions for users and groups to access iChat.

Open Server Admin and connect to the server.

Click Settings.

Click Access.

Click Services.
