Connecting to Participant node on Canton

Questions

Hi I created the local Canton participants however I am not able to connect to the ledger API port using DAML navigator. Is there something I missed?

The error I got on navigator

dlt@dlt-1:~/development/sample$ daml navigator console localhost:5011
Version 1.5.0
Welcome to the console. Type 'help' to see a list of commands.

The canton setup is

The daml assistant expects the host and port as two separate arguments, so the call is daml navigator console localhost 5011.

Furthermore, please make sure the participant is connected to the domain before trying to interact with the ledger API. Without a connected domain the ledger API of the participant is not fully functional.

Finally, you need to configure the parties that are used by navigator to match the parties in Canton. You may use the utils.generate_navigator_conf command (refer to the docs) in Canton to generate a navigator configuration.
