Changing the Administrative Multicast Address
If your enterprise consists of multiple Netscape Application Servers distributed across networks, you must configure all of the Administrative Server processes to use a public multicast server. Doing so allows you to administer all of those servers, regardless if they are in New York or Los Angeles.

For more information about the multicast server, see "About Multicast Communication."

To change the administrative multicast address

  1. For each Netscape Application Server, open the registry editor by typing kregedit at the command prompt.

    2. The registry editor opens and displays the keys and values that apply to the Netscape Application Server.

    For Windows NT, use regedit and start at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\KIVA.

  2. Open the following key:

    3. KIVA\\Enterprise\\2.0\\GMS\\KAS

  3. Double-click the MCastHost String value.

    4. The String editor dialog box appears.

  4. For the value data, specify the IP address for the new host and click OK.

  5. Double-click the MCastPort DWORD value.

    6. The DWORD editor dialog box appears.

  6. For the value data, specify the port number for the new host and click OK.

  7. Close the registry editor.
