Installing CAL on the KDS

To initiate CAL authentication on a KDS Display:

1. On the KDS Display, press Start, select All Programs, select Micros Client Application Loader, and then select McrsCAL Config.
2. Decipher and enter the correct access code, and then press the Configure CAL button.
3. In the Enter CAL Server dialog, set the following values, and then press Next:

   • Server Name: Leave this field blank.

   • Server IP/URL: Leave this field blank.

   • POS Type: Oracle recommends that you select MICROS Simphony (not Simphony Multi-Tenant), regardless of running on a Simphony Standard or Premium Cloud Service environment.

   • CAL Enabled: Select this option if it is not automatically set by default.

   • Secure Connection: Select this option if Simphony uses the Translation Layer Security (TLS) 1.2 Encryption protocol. (If you are installing CAL version 139 or later, this option is set by default.)

   • Server: Enter your Simphony application server name as a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) using the USB keyboard attached to the KDS Display. For example, if the server name is abc2012app1, you need to enter the following: abc2012app1.[hostname].[domain].com.

     If you are using static IP addresses, the KDS display network card will need to be updated with a DNS server entry.

   • OrgPa: If you are installing CAL version 139 in a Simphony Standard or Premium Cloud Service environment, do not enter anything, regardless of which POS Type is set.

   • Port: Enter your port number. Enter 443 if Simphony uses the TLS 1.2 Encryption protocol. (This is the default port number and is configurable at the Enterprise.) Other examples are 8443 or 9443.

     CAL version 139 only supports CAL authentication on HTTPS with TLS 1.1/1.2 encryption. Entering HTTP or 8080 for the port will result in an installation issue.

   • Update: Click the Update button to automatically fill the Server Name and Server IP/URL fields after the application server name is resolved and recognized. You are now required to use an HTTPS secure connection in your Server URL.

4. If you are using Simphony version 2.9.1 and later and installed on a Simphony Standard or Premium Cloud Service environment, CAL prompts you to enter your Simphony EMC logon credentials. Enter your User name, Password, and Organization name in the CAL Authentication dialog, and then press the Login button. If you are using Simphony (licensed) (on premises, self-hosted), you do not need to enter the Organization.

   If you are using Simphony version 2.9 or earlier, you must enter the Install User Security Username and Password configured in the Security tab of the Property Parameters module in the EMC. Contact your system administrator for assistance.

5. If the Enterprise has multiple properties, select the property from the Property Search and Select dialog, and then press Next.

   If the property does not appear in the list, enter the property name in the Property Name field, and then press Search.

   You do not see a property list if only one property is configured or if there are multiple properties, but only one property is using workstations.

6. In the Select WS Identity dialog, select the workstation from the Select Workstation ID drop-down list, and then press the Save button. CAL automatically performs the initial authentication using the cached EMC credentials.

   Each workstation must use a unique Service Host ID. If two workstations use the same Service Host ID, the first one authenticated will lose authentication when the second is authenticated.

   When CAL restarts it performs a re-authentication, and may prompt for credentials again. After validation, the POS client application starts and workstation operators can resume normal KDS Display functions.
