This was tested and compiled using Fedora 25 / Amahi 10 (accordingly use at your own risk, but ''should'' work on Fedora 23 / Amahi 9).
Updated and amended by [[user:Spaceman | spaceman]] 17:33, 27 March 2017 (BST).
=== Accessing HDAs Locally ===
You have to access BOTH the shares and dashboard of each server by IP address of the HDA. <br/><blockquote>For example, "\\192.168.1.20" on a Windows client will get you to the shares on the HDA, ''with that IP address''. Also, 192.168.1.20 in a web browser will take you to the dashboard of the HDA:,''with that IP address''.
In order to prevent Domain Name Server conflict, you have to change the external DNS on one of the HDAs. On "HDA2", change the external DNS to point to the IP address of "HDA1":
=== Configuring Amahi HDA for SSL (Port 443) ===
Change HDA2 to listen on port 443
*Complete steps of Amahi Wiki "[[Access HDA over SSL" (http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Access_HDA_over_SSL)]]
=== Optional ===
==== Apps You Might Need ====
*Amahi Web-Apps Proxy ([http://www.amahi.org/apps/amahi-web-apps-proxy) Amahi Web-Apps Proxy] on both HDAs.
<blockquote>*Go to the Amahi Dashboard and under "Apps" find and install Amahi Web-Apps Proxy. In order to configure Amahi Web-Apps Proxy, access the Amahi Web-Apps Proxy for each HDA the first time from a computer <u>outside</u> of the Local Area Network. Then change the user name and password to suite your needs.</blockquote>
*Ajaxplorer ([http://www.amahi.org/apps/ajaxplorer) Ajaxplorer] installed on HDA1. This met my external file access needs for HDA1.<br/>*OpenVPN ALS (formerly Adito)([http://www.amahi.org/apps/openvpn-alsOpenVPN ALS] (formerly Adito) on HDA2. This app has a convenience fee to install that it is well worth it. :-)<br/>
<ul>
<br />
==== Configuring OpenVPN ALS ====
<li>Web Forwards - The Tunneled Web Apps feature of OpenVPN ALS (Adito) allows clients to externally use an application on your HDA as if they are in the Local Area Network.
* Each time the agent is executed, the SSL tunnel uses a random port (may not work with firewalled client network)
<li>Configure Shares. See "[[Adito#Configuration_Options|Map HDA folders (Network Places)" on http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Adito ]] for more details.<br/>
</ul>
