Configuring user directories for StreamStudio

This section applies for the StreamStudio web portal.

To integrate StreamStudio with a directory server, you must specify the directory settings for external and internal users of the directory server. You can use two separate directories for the internal and external users respectively, or a single directory for all users (with the external and internal users in separate locations).

The directory server must support the LDAP protocol. You can either use OpenText Directory Services (OTDS) , Microsoft Active Directory, or a generic LDAPv3 compliant directory, for example OpenDS.

You can also access StreamStudio without a user directory. For example, if the company is small and does not have a user directory, or if you want to demonstrate or test StreamStudio without a directory connection.

Accessing StreamStudio without a user directory

When you access StreamStudio without a user directory, the only available user is the application domain administrator, by default assigned the StreamStudio System Manager role. The application domain administrator is specified on the Administrator tab in the Application Domain Editor. See Administrator tab.

To configure access to StreamStudio without a user directory

1	In Control Center, right-click the application domain and select Edit Application Domain.

2	In the Application Domain Editor, select the Directory tab.

3	Select Disable directory server settings.

4	Click OK to save the application domain configuration, or continue the configuration on the next tab.

These steps describe how to configure the user directories with Microsoft Active Directory or generic LDAPv3 compliant directory other than OTDS. For information about using OTDS, see Configuring the user directories with OTDS.
