Setting up your authentication method
The default authentication option in the
Management
tab,

is Local. We
recommend that you change the default authentication method to LDAP/Active Directory mode or
Domain mode. See the online help for more information about when to use each mode.
Adding groups and users
Set up groups and users and their roles according to whether they are viewers, creators or site managers.
In the
Management

Configuration > Groups and users
.
Adding guest user access (if required)
Recording access can be restricted to authenticated users—that is, those who have logged in. If you want
to allow unauthenticated users to view conferences, you can enable guest access in the User properties
section of
Site settings
. Users that are not logged in are able to view conferences that have
Allow access
to all users
selected in the conference permissions. RSS feeds are only available if guest access is
enabled.
Configuring media server configurations
If you want to use an external streaming server or enable multicast streaming you should configure a
Media server for live streaming, on demand streaming, or both. In the
Management
tab, go to
Recording Setup > Media servers
.
If you want to automatically upload media to Cisco Media Experience Engine 3500,
Cisco Show and Share, Podcast Producer, or iTunes U, you should create a media server for each of
those applications.
Selecting the default media server configurations
You can make the media server configurations that you created the system defaults in
Site settings
. The
server configurations will display as the defaults when you create a Template or when editing a recording
output in the Manage outputs page.
Reviewing and configuring templates
The server is preconfigured with a number of default templates that you can edit, or you can create new
templates by using the Media server configurations. In the
Management
tab, go
Recording setup >
Templates
.
