Overview
The Taskbar utility allows a user to generate a Single Channel image for authentication. This document outlines how to achieve this for Apple OS X computers.
Prerequisites
Swivel 3.x

Architecture
The Taskbar Client requests the Swivel image from the Swivel server. The Swivel server must be accessible from the Client, this is usually configured through Network Address Translation. A proxy can also be used, the Swivel appliance has a proxy port built in usually https://<IP Address>:8443/proxy

Enabling Session creation with username
To allow the Single Channel image to be used with the Taskbar, session request by username needs to be enabled. Go to the ‘Single Channel’ Admin page and set ‘Allow Session creation with Username:’ to YES.
To test your configuration you can use the following URL using a valid username:
