Adding users and privileges at the server level will allow all inherited publishing points to
acquire the same security privileges. To add individual privileges for a specific publishing
point, select the
Publishing Point
, click
Properties
, select
Authorization
, and right-click
WMS Publishing Points ACL Authorization
. To add users and subsequently, permissions, the
user must already exist as a domain user or as a local user on the server. The user name will be
listed and can be given the desired priveleges.
Creating Authenticated Push Publishing Points
On the
WMS Publishing Points ACL Authorization
screen from above, uncheck
Allow Write
Permission
for the
Everyone
user if already checked, and add write permission for a selected
user or set of users by adding the user. Click
Ok
to apply the change to the server. Only the
named users will be allowed to push to the server after being authenticated. If this change is
done at the server level, the changes must be propagated to the publishing point level to be
effective.
Creating Non-Authenticated Push Publishing Points
Either disable
WMS Publishing Points Authorization
, or keeping the default policy of
authorization always on, and selectively allowing authentication to be bypassed for some, on
the
WMS Publishing Points ACL Authorization
at the publishing point level, select
Allow
Write Permission
for the
Everyone
user (if already on the list or add to the list if necessary).
Click
Ok
to apply the change to the server. If this change is done at the server level, and the
change is propagated to all publishing points, all publishing points will allow push without
authentication.
Creating Pull Publishing Points
Create a broadcast publishing point on the server and use the WM Appliance's
HTTP URL
as
the source for the publishing point. When you start the publishing point it pulls the stream
from the appliance and you can see the server listed in the client table on the VBrick's
Status:
Server Status > Slot1 Details
page in IWS. You can optionally enable the
Start publishing
point when first client connects
feature in the publishing point's general properties to have
the server wait for a client to connect before it starts the pull from the appliance.
Note
The Windows Media Server must have the HTTP control protocol enabled to
accept a push. Go to Server Properties and select
Control Protocol
in the left pane
and in the right pane enable
WMS HTTP Server Control Protocol
to enable HTTP
Control Protocol on your server. The HTTP control protocol uses port 80 by
default so make sure you do not have other services running that also use that port.
Also, the WMS Negotiate Authentication must be enabled at the server or
Publishing Point level.
