Firstly we really are getting into support territory here for which Novell's forums would be much more appropriate.

A forum has been created for Kanaka and is available at forums.novell.com/.../ whilst there's also forums.novell.com/.../ if you have a query about AFP and/or CIFS.

You haven't said which version of OES you're using but if using OES11 or OES2 SP3 with November 2011 patches installed then you have a version of AFP that supports DHX2 as introduced with OS X Lion. What you might not have is the DHX2 UAM enabled so you need to configure that via AFP in iManager or by editing /etc/opt/novell/afptcpd/afptcpd.conf and setting AUTH_UAM to DHX2.

If this doesn't resolve your problem then I suggest visiting one of the above support forums and posting a message giving more details.

I've tried changing the Apple Share Client.plist for Lion as shown below, but it still does not
work

defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_host_prefs_version -int 1

defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient
afp_disabled_uams -array "Cleartxt Passwrd" "DHX2" "MS2.0" "2-Way Randnum exchange"


The Kanaka plug-in works great on Snow Leopard. Any ideas on what
needs to be modified in Lion to make the new Kanaka plug-in work correctly?

For those new to MACs, like me, the commands outlined above will not work if you copy and paste them as the copy and paste will include a carriage return. Remove the carriage returns from a copy and paste and then the commands will work (they are single-line commands).

Might be obvious to others, but it delayed me for 30 seconds or so. Posted this in hopes others find it useful.

well, sorry for wrong background (version) info. I forgot the 3. stuff on there :-)

Novell have now published TID 7008683 with advice to disable the DHX2 UAM.

First of all Apple have published their own support document @ support.apple.com/.../HT4700 and Novell are currently working on a support TID.

Now to correct some of the above article - with Mac OS X Lion (10.7) Apple have moved to AFP version 3.2 (not v2) but NetWare and OES2 only currently support AFP version 3.1 (not v1).

The new version of AFP is actually 3.3, and I believe OES is only supporting 3.1 or 3.2 (I think Netware supports 3.1).

A full Apple support document on the changes can be found at the link below. It also includes information on how to exclude certain password hashing methods (for full compatibility with Netware and OES, I would just disable ClearText and let all of the others through).
