Follow the steps below to configure a server to connect to: 

1. Open the Kron PAM Desktop Client, and click **Connections** on the Login Screen.
2. Click **Add (+). **The **Add Server** window opens. Configure Kron PAM server settings:
   - Enter Kron PAM’s server IP address or hostname into the **Address **field.
   - Change the **Port **value according to the server type. For Kron PAM servers using HTTP, the port should be *80, whereas *for Kron PAM servers using HTTPS, the port should be *443, *and in the HTTPS case, make sure to set the **Use SSL** option to **On**. (80 and 443 are the default ports for Kron PAM servers. However, if another port will be used for this purpose, **redirectPort** and **Connector port** values in the **/pam/gui/conf/server.xml** and **netright.baseurl **value in **/pam/gui/netright/netright.properties **should be configured with the new port.)
   - *(Optional)* If you want the server to be selected by default on the Login screen, set the **Make Default Connection** option to **On**.
